Children of course as can be imagined, subject school blazers to some roughwear. This is of course especially true of the boys. Often schools attemp to assist the parents. At private preparatory schools where blazers are still common, the students generally only wear their blazers to and from school and on special occasions. Normally when they arrive at school they hang up their blazers and don't put them back on until it is time to go home. The situation at secondary schools is more varied. Blazers are common at private schools, especially day schools. Generally at private boarding schools they are not worn during the day. At state schools not all schools have blazers. And those that do, it is mostly the older students that wear them. All of this of course varies greatly from school to school. This limiited usage preserves the blazers to some extent, even so they still get a lot of rough wear.
