Aye, getting Away with it is still common place, but to let your Mum moan on the telly about it, haha I would be expecting a fucking kick in off the lads the next day backDont get me wrong, at school I would see how long through the day I could get away with wearing trainers before I got told to change them for my shoes.
We have just shelled out a fortune for school uniform as they gave us a list of what was needed. I'd have been embarrassed if it had been wrong due to me not reading it and my daughter gets sent home.

What is wrong with these people.
I used to tell the teachers I was poor and couldn't replace the ' waffle ' trousers and the shiny flecked white shirt my Mum and dad couple only just afford
GOT Away with white shirt and black trousers for whole school year when I was 14 this way. Uniform was Grey and Grey.
Felt like a hero haha
This post could be applied to a lot of things these days. If I'd ever been sent home from school for trying to get away with wearing the wrong thing I'd be in big trouble. These days you've got the parents having a go at the school and getting as much media attention as possible.Aye, getting Away with it is still common place, but to let your Mum moan on the telly about it, haha I would be expecting a fucking kick in off the lads the next day back

You would be surprised at when little how much of an influence it has. Learning swear words for example.I've never understood how a uniform helps kids learn better. I believe children's behaviour is influenced more by their home life than their school life. I know my school (Caludon Castle) taught me nothing about behaviour. That all came from my parents or my own life experience.

If that's the purpose, in schools it fails resoundingly on both counts.It's about stripping kids of their individuality and conditioning them to accept orders.
It's the same reason armies and big companies do it.
My kids have to have logo'd polo shirts, which we can only buy through the school at £15 each.
Same polo in Asda is 2 for a fiver. Really grinds my gears.
But, I'm all for proper rules being enforced. We get kids starting where I work, who look at you like you're mental if you tell them to do something.

Where I went to school (Caludon Castle in the 1960's), we had a uniform. You could get the uniform at an expensive shop or a cheaper shop. At some shops you could choose the expensive blazer or the cheaper blazer. The better off kids got the good stuff and you could easily tell their uniforms were superior. So this nonsense about everyone being the same is just that, nonsense! The better off kids also all had brand new 10-speed bikes and the less well off second-hand ones. And what proof do you have that uniforms reduce bullying? I've never heard such an outlandish claim.Uniforms help reduce bullying & also reduce the pressure on kids & parents from low/no income households as a plain white shirt is a plain white shirt regardless of whether its from Savile Row or asda George.
My daughter goes to a school for children with learning difficulties and they have a choice but we have always got her the uniform but sometimes not the logo t shirts, my son goes to a normal school and he has to wear a uniform, we find it easier as you don't need to think about what they have to wear each day.
That's the thing, it is the same when you don't have to wear uniform for work. It is much easier having a branded T shirt to wear as well, you don't need to think.
I have always had to wear a shirt and suit to work until this current job and being able to wear a pair of jeans and polo shirt but it is hard work picking the shirt each morning, would rather have a uniform for the tax benefits
I am a headteacher. As has already been said, the uniform is the first line of school rules, if you bend on that then the kids will see what else you'll bend on. Head did the right thing. I haven't checked, but I bet he's a new head drawing a line in the sand. High expectations matter!
We often ask our pupils if they want uniform or no uniform as part of a class discussion/forming an argument in English lessons. After a debate it always comes back to wanting uniform, for the reasons that have already been posted earlier.
Not sure how clear it was in some cases. Some children were turned away because there shoes had metal buckles, bow ties and were too shiny.I respect the head teacher here myself sticking up for basic high standards which any school should be looking to achive. I believe his is new and wants to make an impression.
Rules are rules and it was made clear by all accounts and the parents came off worse as they always do because unfortunately there are always a hand full of parents who just don't get it but that's the same anywhere in the main i guess whether it's a football match or a school. Always some stupid ones

Also doesn't help that a lot of companies advertise certain footwear which are considered unacceptable as 'school shoes' and 'ideal for school'
We got Told in July about uniform, no patent shiny shoes. Just because jd sports sell black trainers as school shoes, people could apply common sense.
