School uniforms vs fashion statements

Uniforms...one more submission to The Man.
Makes me think of saying pledges, marching,
regimentation, & the appearance of equality.

Until they're adults, children are always in submission to "The Man", be it their parents or their teachers. Besides, the little snots could use some discipline and regimentation. None of this bullying other kids for wearing the "wrong" brands.

The less submission the better, I say.
And I never saw any bullying over clothing brands.

I don't recall disputes about clothing back in my high school years...
Actually yes...a group of female nerds complained with the headmistress because - in their opinion- our female classmates used to wear s l u tty clothes...:p

LoL...no...a tv series called I liceali...set in Rome:p;)

There was a tv series called Beverly Hills 90210. It was about a group of beautiful young people and their trials, tribulations and dramas. Beverly Hills is a very rich and fashionable, fashion- and beauty-conscious city in California (actually I think it's part of LA :shrug:). Hence my spoof with Milano 90210.

Mine was bright green with a red and yellow lining - not good, but when all your mates have it too, you sort of get used to it.
Doesn't sound too bad. Especially when this:

Becomes this in your last year:

Children should be granted freedoms as they prove to have matured enough to have them.
Dressing themselves seems a good one to grant early on.
Times are different. Even during the ninties at a small rural school the "poor kids" were picked on for not wearing (over-hyped and over-priced) Air Jordans.
Kids will get picked on for something.
I advise dealing with the bullies rather
than restricting the victims' choices.

They can choose what they wear outside of school. And really that's actually in their parents' hands, since they're the ones who approve of and purchase their clothing.

Of course bullies should still be dealt with. No one suggested otherwise and it isn't an either/or situation. Besides, the victims often don't have choice other than what their parents can afford, anyway.
