Pupils on strike over short skirt ban

I'm pretty against school uniform anyway, i never got the point of it apart from a money making scheme. They can sell it, have non school uniform days and just rake it in off the students. And it always shrank fast.

Let people express themselves.
 
Uniform removes the issues of fashion in school - and takes away some of the money divide of students in a school.

I have seen attendance go down when there are non uniform days.

No the wealth divide still stands as does fashion.

1: The cool kids will rebel and untuck their shirts or wear their ties half assed or flip pop their collars on the polo shirts. The weady kids will be maticulously tucked in with vneck sweaters and shoes so shiny you could use them for upskirts.

2: The poor kids will wear jumpers/shirts/trousers that look like handmedowns because their parents can't be bothered to buy new school uniform each year --in part due to the price of uniform that some schools charge-- which is not a good look.

Social grouping won't change regardless of uniform the majority of the time, in a public school anyway.

To be fair, there isn't much the parents can do about their faces looking like that :p

Paper bags work a treat, even facial putty, or mr potato head attachments would probably help.

If they stood in the sunlight for a while they would turn to stone and someone could come along with a masonary chisel and take a bit off here and there to improve the situation.
 
The girls in the article i don't think many people would tap.
Tbh in my secondary school them skirts are not that short & they wear tight one's too which suits me well!
 
I opened the link, then I hastily closed the link.
I thought i would read the thread to see what witty comments were made, and when i read that one was 11 years old I almost had a heartache, she looks older than me! AND I AM 22!!!

Scarred for life.

Nail, head.
Uniform isn't going to stop the nerds being nerds, the poor kids being poor and whatever.
It's a nice sentiment but in practise fails hard and just puts more financial strain on parents.
 
It's the way humans are, there has to be some separation of social classes whatever the culture - there always was and always will be no matter how hard some people try to avoid it.

True that. It costs about £50 for a polo shirt, jumper and trousers for my uniform. Then £1 on non-uniform days (which are every friday biweekly), it adds up. Just to say the believe in "equality". Is it heck about equality. It's about the money.

If someone can't afford the uniform, they're going to go for a cheap blue polo shirt, black sweatshirt and black trousers from asda or whatever. That just screams "poor" to everyone more than if you could wear what you wanted. And it lands you in detention. Yeesh.

Oh, and:
