Post lesson rest in the common room

We're taking a break after the end of the school day reading our  favourite magazines in the upper school but we still have to wear school uniform.
There was a bit of kurfuffle at my school around this point as some wanted as they say it the right to wear home clothes after school and those who didn't.
Personally I preferred to wear uniform because we were at school and the staff were our parents in effect when it come to looking after and having everyday responsibility over us so them having us in it seemed reasonable and some kids at day school would wear their uniforms after school say when doing homework anyway.
