Greetings Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 How do these uniforms work in the long run, surely one of the things you need to learn when young is how to dress. With a strict dress code you're just not going to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 My school was so strict on uniform, having trainers on was a day in isolation. Wearing a coat with out a school jumper would leave you having the coat confiscated of the coat. Bad times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Do most schools in UK have uniforms, I'm from Canada and only a few schools have them, mostly private schools. Most things you guys are saying seem so bloody outrageous that if they would be put those rules in place right now here, there would be a few riots/teachers kicked in the face.

Greetings Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Do most schools in UK have uniforms, I'm from Canada and only a few schools have them, mostly private schools. Most things you guys are saying seem so bloody outrageous that if they would be put those rules in place right now here, there would be a few riots/teachers kicked in the face.They tried introducing them over here and there were quite a lot of demonstrations. But the idea was forced through and implemented. This was a couple of years ago, I haven't seen a single kid in a uniform yet.I wore a uniform back in the UK, didn't give a shit about it. It was completely normal, apart from the fact you had a few identical sets of clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Do most schools in UK have uniformsYeah, I think so. Certainly almost all primary schools (age 5-11), and most secondary schools (11-16) will make you wear uniform, although how strictly they enforce it varies a LOT. For sixth form/college (Age 16-18+) it's split, but I'd guess that most places would let you wear your own clothes. Like just about everything in the UK, it's a class thing. People think that a uniform makes people, well, more uniform - the idea being that pupils will get treated the same no matter how much money they have. Although schools that are a bit more posh are more likely to have a strict policy on school uniform, so work that one out?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 We questioned the point of a uniform in school many times, usually with two answers;As Tom said, its more standardization for pupils. If they let kids where what they wanted it would result in bullying towards the kids that perhaps couldn't afford designer clothes and when people did wear designer clothing it would only be ruined by certain lessons (ie. chemistry).Secondly was what Inur suggested, teaching pupils how to dress and look (somewhat) respectable. Using my job for example, if I turned up with baggy jeans, trainers and some tshirt on I'd be sent home; and I'm sure it'd be commented on if I turned up with a tie half down my chest and my shirt untucked.

Spider Lad Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) my headteacher seems a tad racist, she's fine with any student but myself wearing a religious symbol.I think you're just a bit confused there. You're there to learn, not promote your delusional ideas of an all powerful sky fairy. Edited March 3, 2009 by Spider Lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of kids you'd think would wear the coolest clothes usually wore standard no-name stuff and nobody cared.Yet at primary and secondary school where uniforms were a must people got bullied because of the shoes they wore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
