There's a lot to be said for that argument. Unfortunately, having experienced both, I can say with confidence that it doesn't matter. I think our focus should be elsewhere e.g. providing support and encouraging skills to cope with the various realities everyone will undoubtedly encounter.

Re: The state of the UK
We had a period of that as well but most "must have" labels have gone. I hated uniforms. There was no bigger class divider.

Re: The state of the UK
I don't quite get it, are there, like, classy and expensive uniforms to denote swanky schools and cheapo ones for less prestigious establishments?

Re: The state of the UK
It would be no different if there was no uniform. Rich kids would wear top fashion and the poor would wear dregs. This is just Scot projecting his own insecurities onto the world and acting like it is a fact.

Re: The state of the UK
Very much so. The usual nondescript navy blue blazer worn in most state schools can be bought in various shops and the badges are sold by the school itself and has to be sown on. Only, in my days, there was a special first fifteen blazer presented by the school to the first fifteen rugby team. I got that but never wore it as I preferred my leather very cool French jacket and my Gitanes.
The private schools, or public in England, uniforms had to be bought at an outfitters including sports gear. There was a whole spectrum of colours used. In Edinburgh the snobbish uniform of all was Fettes.
It is recently become a mixed school. Blair the Labour PM. went there.
In Glasgow it is Hutchinson's:

Re: The state of the UK
I went to private schools and was glad we had a uniform so I didn't have to worry about what to wear.

Must have been approved
Stopped wearing a uniform after one year at secondary school. Never had any trouble dressing and was never part of the sheeple.

Re: The state of the UK
We had uniforms (blue blazer, black trousers, white shirt, school tie) until my senior year, when they got rid of uniforms and brought gurls in. Poor little rich kids wearing their Gucci got laughed at by the cool kids, who wore stuff from the Army-Navy surplus store. Para boots, camo fatigues, and a Che shirt. Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh! It was the 70s, after all.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: The state of the UK
That is exactly how it goes even today. Dutch kids dont do glam. Certain people who live in a trailer dont understand that. Quiet quality is a far better course than loud bling.laklak wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 4:21 pmWe had uniforms (blue blazer, black trousers, white shirt, school tie) until my senior year, when they got rid of uniforms and brought gurls in.
