Barring jackets from classrooms at Mount Albert Grammar School has drawn some flak from parents. (File photo) “According to my daughter most of the older rooms are cold – a new TV is bought but not heating.” The woollen school jumper is uncomfortable and itchy to wear, she said. Kelly-Hunt said the uniform was so expensive she had to buy it secondhand. “Why are they charging that amount for a uniform and our kids have got to take that jacket off and be cold in the classroom, and they’re not going to learn anything?” Fellow parent Emily Hall said her 15-year-old son does not wear a jacket to school because of the rule.
