School Uniforms

[Nevis]

The son (Djody) came round and we were watching 'Men in Black 2' When an advert came on showing a good deal on a school blazer, shirt and trousers/skirt' offered on one of the big supermarkets. That started up a discussion about how all kids should wear the aforementioned kit. Just black trousers or skirts, white shirt and a black blazer and specially designed school tie and blazer badge.
Much easier on the purse strings, and more scope to be proud of 'The old school tie' xx
What do you think? How much do you pay? Do you think it's right? Do you think they should relax the rule on uniforms ( especially in today's monetary climate) xx
