They have chosen the way they feel, as is their right, to carry out the change in the most efficient way. Taking five to seven years to change a uniform is not efficient, nor is it practical. It breeds contempt amongst those who will be made to feel different. To balance this effect, with the wishes of the parents to not have to spend more money on unnecessarily buying ties, they have planned it over a three year period. The average life-time of a school tie, is less than two years.

2and 3 i think i know its not the PTA job but thats how it works if it doesn't at your school you are lucky !

No PTAs are the sole form of parental consultancy, in any school I have ever heard of. So, instead of my school being the lucky one, I would say that it is the normal one.

it will while they are in dispute the council will end up forking out for home tutoring or even more likely they will end up with her being taught in a separate class room at the same school to get her through the exams

No it won't. The parents have decided to withdraw their child from state education. The cost will be theirs. She will not be given any extra help to get through her exams. If she has missed lessons because of her and her parents' stupidity, that is their look out.

plus they now have a growing band of kids opposing ties altogether which will likely end up with no tie which i find even sadder

No they don't. They have one stroppy, moody teenager with excessively over-indulgent parents, who can't say "no" to their little princess.
