Is it fair to make students wear blazers in this heat?

I think it's unreasonable and wondered what others think.

    Yup, I don't send my DD's in, as if it is there, they make them wear it.

    Not there = can't wear! :D

    I work in a school and they have a shirt sleeve order there. Blazers are compulsary until we have hot weather and then the head issues permission to students to remove their blazers.

    Yes. Assuming you mean for prolonged periods.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Poor little things, we are only asking them to do what we all did and survived.... It's character building !! No big deal...

    I am confident that summer temperatures did not reach the height they do now when I had to wear a blazer 20 years ago!

    And I am confident that kids today are more likely to get transported to school and back in air-con cars than I ever was.......... I still have no sympathy :)

    It is fair as long as the school masters have to wear suit/jacket.
