Bloody hell this is a good idea for the offending schools. One of the worst things to see is a tie like that. It's just hideous and I cannot understand why or how they do it.

Basically a load of schools where these types of ties are most common have bee switching to clip-on ties. Brilliant I say!
I have been wearing a tie to school since I was about 8. I have never gone to school with a tie like that. And the school I do go to is a decent one, so the people wear their ties well enough. Undone top buttons is common, but here the ties are not bloody miles away from the neck!
If you won't do your tie up properly, you shouldn't be wearing one. But the clip-on ones would solve this problem.
Just my 2 pence.
Hear, hear! What the hell is wrong with these children!? Jesus. When I was in school wearing a tie I wore a nice fat perfectly knotted half windsor every day. Granted, I went to a private school and we did have quite strict uniform rules, but at least I took pride in my appearance.
