Re: We don't like the new school tie; our daughter isn't going to school.

You like others have a different take on the matter, that is fine.
The rule might be idiotic to the child's parents but its still a rule that the school has. So rather than taking the child out of school because of teh rule, I would say that it would be more beneficial for the child in the long run to put up with the rule in favour of a school education.

Probably someone unable to mix with people, because they have been taught in a confined area.
The parents should think about this before they took their steps to remove her from school. They are the ones inflicting any disadvantages on their child, not the school.

It is about dressing appropriately, and if the child does not learn this lesson at school, what chance does she have in the real world? It may not be fair, but it's real.
I feel it's also about respecting rules of an establishment. If the parents are saying its ok for her not to follow the rules by taking her out of school, what sort of lesson does that give her for the future too.
