Wearing a clip on tie would have got you bullied at my school
Also, the way you tie you school tie is one of the few ways for kids to show their individuality. The ridiculously big knot, the so-tight-knot-nobody-can-undo-it-again, the knot where the thin strip behind is much longer than the wide front bit...all genius, and if this continues we will not see their like again.

How will kids practice tying a tie for when they go out into the big world and need to tie a proper one every day?
