This is just plain silly. They are there to learn and career's advice is an afterthought at Secondary School level. Most places of work, if they can't offer Air Con or something like it, will opt for different uniforms or a more smart casual look in summer because there's a health and safety risk involved.

Uniforms do jack **** for discipline, they don't affect anything except for learning if a student is too uncomfortable in them when it's hot to focus. Learning is the top priority when it comes to schools, if these foolish heads allow uniform regulations to get in the way of education then they have failed at their jobs.

School Uniforms are a most pointless waste of materials, money and time.
