Isnt it about time, after all these decades, that we abolished this archaic nonsense???
It just seems a very un-necessary expenditure for families now in this day of economic instability!! Why do parents have to fork out so much now on school uniforms is beyond me!! Why cant kids go to school now in normal everyday clothes rather than in school uniforms??
And anyway, the way, that the kids wear their uniforms now, they might just as well go to school in normal clothes!!
As if, wearing a uniform to school makes them learn better!!!!!:D:D:D
It just seems to me to be so out of date now!!:eek::eek::eek:

At least with uniforms, if there are any logos or badges, everyone will have the same logos or badges.
School uniforms are a great idea!
bullying is bad enough in schools already without kids being bullied because they dont have a logo on their trainers/tshirt/trousers etc !!!
Yes because a uniform would ruin their gangster image.:D
I dont have any kids that I buy school uniform for!! The only kid I have is 23 years old and no longer in school!!!!:D:D:D
But most places that don't have uniforms in schools have always been like that, or have been like that for a very long time, suddenly changing the concept now, in this country would cause chaos!
But now I don't have to, so I don't care.
There are some private schools here that do have uniforms but mostly there's not a uniform policy. What we do have is restrictions on certain things such as clothing that could be identified as gang colors. That's the case though at all sorts of events for adults too.
It probably works out far cheaper to kit your kids out in uniform than it does to have them all compete in a fashioon war and ruin their best clothes at school.
I mean, I hate when teachers say "You must wear school uniform properly to succeed" so basically... what they are saying is that, If I come in with a hoodie and everyone does, that we will fail in school and life... pathetic.
It makes no difference, you won't be less or more intelligent for wearing your uniform/own clothes. And the fact we needed to do out top buttons up.... and we werent allowed to wear coloured scarves or coats etc.... what the hell does colour of clothing got to do with success rate...
What a load of bull.
""seems"" to work .... so you dont know for sure?
Ahh that explains your ignorance. '':D:D:D''
That said, it's still cheaper than it would be with a non uniform school, especially for a teenager wanting to keep up with their mates.
Children in most European countries don't wear uniforms, and their schools are said to be higher-achieving and less violent than ours.
Right now it's a simple question of whether the kid is in uniform or not. End of.
If uniform was abolished every teacher would be forced to audit the dress of every kid in the school on an individual basis and there would, inevitably, be cases where an item of clothing that one teacher found to be acceptable would be criticised by another teacher which'd lead to conflict.
I KNOW it works, because I used to live in the USA and we never had to buy school uniforms for my son when he went to school over there!!!!:D:D
you should write "i know" then
& theres no bullying over there over what clothes people wear?
Plus uniforms look smart on children. Imagine teenage girls coming to school dressed in low cut tops or boys who have parents that are able to afford new, flashy trainers but other poor kids can't?
With uniforms, everyone is dressed is equally. School is a place to learn, not a fashion contest.
They also sold the kit of the boys who went up from the Remove into the Senior School; this meant a change of House and there was a general free for all in the July sales for us in the year below!
you dont have to wear one of the school jumpers with their logo on you can wear a plain one just as long as you wear the right colour
Prevents ineqaulity to a degree (IE those who have parents that can afford the expensive gear)
