colonialistic mentality still at play!
See, even here where the Brits wear ties and the like, there is a summer uniform and a winter uniform. Which basically translates that when summer (it's sometimes gets sunny & hot!), kids don't wear ties or long trousers if it be boys - they opt for summer dresses or short sleeved blouses/shirts. Depending on which school, some even opt for summer hats/caps to protect the kids from the sun's rays.
Is it about time we moved on from what holds us back? Ug is a tropical country for goodness sake, what will it take to get the brain gears shifted?
I do admire the way Ug kids dress, come to think of it, back home we dress better than kids in public school in the USA. We are up to the standard of private schools here in the US.
