Quick, quick take them out ... their human rights are obviously being compromised.

It may not cost the LEA, As you have stated, by the way, I do not know for certain if the parents can claim for educating their child at home, they may be able to.
For example, if one of the parents had to give up work so they are at home with the child, they could probably claim benefits of some type, so this whole thing may not be as " costless " as you think.
The tie should be an optional part of the uniform, and certainly not used as an excuse to deny a child an education.

But in this case it's not. So if you send your kids to an establishemnt where there are rules to follow, shouldn't they be made to follow them. I hated wearing a tie in school, and shorts in the summer. But I, nor my parents, were going to let me miss out on my education simply because of the tie.
