Business in a school

I am writing to complain about the business set up by a school in Dhanmondi. The school has specified that students wear school uniform made of certain fabric, available only in the school tailor shop. Otherwise, students wear school uniform which are not 'uniform', as per the school rules.

Not only does the fabric have to be of the same material, the uniform has to be tailored by the school tailor shop too! Needless to say that they charge too much for the fabric, too much for the tailoring, and the quality is poor. Who is to complain? This is Bangladesh, and the authorities can get away with anything. What other business tactics they will come up with next, we parents wonder!
