Figure 1.--Boys at this English school wore their regular classroom uniform after classes, including the ties. Using the computer was a very popular activity after class. At the time schools were just beginning to introduce computers into the school program. Their uniform was grey shirts, green ties, jumpers, grey cord shorts, kneesocks, and sandals.

At bording schools there were a wide variety of approache as to what boys wore after classes in the afternoon and evening.. Here regulations again varied graetly from school to school. Each school had their own regulations and they varied regularly from school to school. Most boarding schools had the boys wear the regular school uniform after classes in the evening. These tended to be the stricter schools and wanted the boys to be uniformed at all times. This was the case with the boys at the school seen here (figure 1). At some schools the boys were allowed to take off their ties after classes, but at many schools like the schools here, the boys were required to continued wearing their ties. This included free time activities as well as prep after dinner. At other boarding schools the children could change out of their uniforms after classes, but this was not the most common convention. Here the appraoch also varied from school to school. These schools some times had restrictive regulations as to what kind of non-uniform clothes the children could wear, others allowed them to wear whatever they wanted--within reason. Some schools where the boys all wore short pants uniforms, required the boys to all wear non-uniform shorts. At other schools the boys could wear longs or shorts. Some schoolsby the 1980s even permitted jeans.
