    While I agree that being made to wear blazers in this heat is crazy, dont stick them all in polo shirts, keep them smart.
    Trust me, my lads look a LOT smarter in polo shirts than they ever did in blazers, shirts and ties. It is very difficult to 'subvert' a polo shirt, whereas shirts can be left untucked / half untucked, ties can be worn at half-mast and / or with the fat bit far too long or far too short ...

    I've never understood the thought that polo shirts are smart. My old school now has them, having discarded the traditional shirt tie and blazer. The pupils look like they now work for a low rent cleaning firm. School kids will never be smart, they have a natural dishevelment field. Other than making more money for however has the school kit supply contract, I can't really see the point.

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

    No they don't :)

    and as another note, people keep saying you can change where you work if you can't cope with the dress code. It's fairly easy to change where you go to school. Easier atm than finding a new job in my opintion.

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
