I have to wear full kit at work come rain or shine.

Yes, but you have a choice in the job you do. Kids have to go to school by law.

I am required to wear a tie and blazer for work, regardless of the weather.

Maybe its a lesson that all young people should learn - that there are rules that seem stupid, seem irrelevant but nevertheless they are rules - and are there to be adhered to. If one doesn't like the rules, one has to get inside the organisation in order to change the rules.

It's absolutely fine.

Millions of people up and down the country wear suits each and every weekday to work.

They seem to do just fine.

Yes, but they have a choice in what job they do, kids have to go to school. It's also not fine, because it affects their concentration and can make them feel unwell.

You suffered, so now you want to spread the misery? How very vindictive!

Maybe we should send children back into factories and up chimneys, after all, our great great grandparents did it and survived, maybe that'd build character too!

Uniform fascism always baffled me when I was at school, still does. There'd be a teacher hovering just inside every doorway to ensure children didn't get more than 5 yards inside the school whilst wearing a coat. In what situation as an adult is it ever a matter of urgency to remove a coat the second you're indoors?

Totally agree with you.

Every now and then my children's school realises that extremely overheated children don't learn well because they've fainted or are having febrile convulsions (the latter having happened to my daughter). A memo goes round that it's now hot enough to remove blazers. High up in the Victorian part of the building there is no proper ventilation or air con.

This is what worries me. My child has been sent home a couple of times because he feels sick.

But you could do another job if you hated it, kids can't leave school.

Yes but if no one questioned or broke rules things would never get better.

About a fortnight before this past half term, when the weather was sooo hot, my kids had to wear their shirts, ties, JUMPERS/TANK TOPS and their blazers.

The head said that as it wasn't summer, he wouldn't allow them to wear any less.

The stupid bloody oaf meant because it wasn't summer TERM ~ it's summer term now, but the weather is not as nice as it was then.

It was awful, my 2 would come home and they would have HUGE big patches of sweat all over their shirts ~ and these are 12 and 14 yo old kids with not an ounce of fat on them!

Some head's and teachers are bloody Hitlas who just like laying the law down.

OK fine, have the kids all trussed up in layers of clothes, but YOU do it too. Don't waft past them in a shirt feeling all cool, then expect them to sit in the heat, sweltering and listen to you!

OK fine, have the kids all trussed up in 4 layers of clothes, but YOU do it too. Don't waft past them in a shirt feeling all cool, then expect them to sit in the heat, sweltering and listen to you!

Totally agree with you.
