Interesting subject... My ideas:

Summer dress code:

1) Polo shirt in school colour

2) Black blazer (optional during warm days)

3) Black short pants (short shorts with bare knees and mostly exposed thighs)

4) Black ankle socks

5) Black shoes

Winter dress code:

1) Sweatshirt or sweater (student's choice) in school colour

2) Black blazer, during cold weather: black winter jacket (for outdoor only)

3) Black short pants (like summer dress code)

4) Black knee socks

5) Black shoes

P.E. dresscode:

1) T-Shirt in standarzided colour (p.e. school colour and normal school colour could be differ)

2) Black p.e. shorts

3) barefoot (for some reasons, the most important is that going barefoot is healthy)

Thank you very much for posting this interesting article.

I'm very glad to read that you liked it, too.

@Broughton:

"Ideally all boys should wear short trousers until they leave school at 18 or beyond. Also, ideally their parents should keep them in short trousers away from school as well so that they are never allowed long trousers until their late teens." Exactly my opinion. You are right, it won't happen, but it should happen, there are many good reasons for it. Short trousers should be a social standard (NOT a punishment) for all boys until they finish school. (By the way: i think boys should have the choice what kind of shorts - school shorts, p.e. shorts, denim shorts or other - they wear away from school, but knees and thighs should be bare.) It is interesting that some parents force older boys to wear shorts at weekends. In which countries they do so?

I have created a poll about the return of school caning: "Should the cane reintroduced in European schools?", you find it in my user profile or here: http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/500784

Some questions are for parents, other for teachers and some questions are only for students.
