The Elizabethan High School is introducing clip on ties for all students not just the year 7 as at present and rolling it though. The reasons why we are against this are: Tie tieing skills are a life skill and with clip on ties students won't know this. Also students will yank other people's clip on ties off either breaking it (and force them to buy a £6 new clip on tie) or cut people with it or steal it. Also they look Tatty and unsmart and will make people feel caulstraphobic and hotter (in a already boiling hot school) and not in the mood to learn. This Change over is a environmental issue because the new ties being made and old ties destoryed. Join the campaign P.S. This petition like most other petitions is NOT designed to undermine authority but show our views to authority and try to make them make the right decision.
