Dear Sir,
SIXTH-form is supposedly that step closer to university, that is in most high schools, and sixth–form colleges around the world (or so we've been made to believe). Yet at Queen's College, they seem to have taken a leap back, all the way to kindergarten for that matter.
Students are suffering the consequences of previous senior students, and their dressing sense.
So now we are not treated as the seniors that we apparently are, (or apparently aren't according to some remarks) and with the attention that we should be as we are the same as the rest of the school.
Nevertheless, students tried their chances and wore jeans, and the Queen's polo shirt, as a compromise between individuality and uniformity, only to be sent home to get changed back into our uniform.
No progress made? Perhaps not in the literal sense, but tutors had to discuss matters and we had grasped their attention. However, our “immature” act on Tuesday the 19th, was a simple demonstrative retaliation to the way in which we, as students are being treated, which subsequently is equally as “pathetic” and “immature” as our actions.
