For the most part, I grew up in schools with fairly strict uniform policies and am therefore quite partial to schools which implement them rigorously. I despair when I look my son’s wrinkled and stained polo shirt, and designer navy shorts, and feel only a little gratified that he does not himself like to wear to flip-flops or crocs to school, as that would be too much to bear. I have to admit I feel better when I see my daughter in her crisp striped and buttoned shirt, standard navy school shorts, white socks and black school shoes!
