Children these days hardly get a chance to explore the bliss and energy of their childhood. Taught early from childhood that their mission is to excel and compete for the best, they don't get the taste of free life any longer. I also think schools should start early and leave early. I am thankful that my school used to begin by 7:30am and end by 1:40pm. This not only gave me time to be with family, but to run around and play in the evenings and also enough time to do my homeworks and maybe even go for tuitions. A child should start the day with the sun. It is a pity that some traditions are followed mindlessly from school days. Wearing a tie has nothing to do with the school technically. It should be a colonial carry off that a necktie defines a gentleman! (maybe the same thing with closed shoes). Sad that some schools adorn it even in the blazing tropical summer, even if it is not discerned for philosophical reasons. You are right.
