Now I'm sick of going round in circles.

Hear, hear. Would this boy's behaviour be considered acceptable if he worked for the Police, an airline or any other business with a strict dress or uniform code? Would anybody seriously expect an employer in such circumstances to allow it to pass with an indulgent 'just don't do it again', when
there was no good reason for the breach of the rules in the first place? I fail to see why some people seem to be in such a hurry to trivialise the wearing of school uniform. School is preparation for life and life is full of rules and conventions that have to be obeyed for a variety of reasons. If this boy has, after 11 years, failed to learn this simple lesson, then on his own head be it.
