Get rid of that uncomfortable school uniforms! allow students to come in comfortable cotton clothing. Introduce a dress code. Most of the schools don't even have proper fans that work!! They have just one ceiling fan per classroom of about 40 to 50 kids. Unbelievable how kids can wear those uniforms buttoned up to the neck and stay the whole day!
