  They should do it for the top half too. Just have set styles and colours so parents can buy whatever is affordable

  As a parent, uniforms are the best. They’re durable, don’t need to be ironed and they’re all the fucken same. Without them we’d have arguments over “where is my favourite t-shirt”, and we’d spend a lot more on clothes because they would be wrecked more often.

    As a student I liked uniforms too. I never had to decide what to wear and I never got teased for what I wore.

  To OP: I think Uniforms are important factor to reduce discrimination based on class.

  Just becauae you come from a poor family doesnt mean you should stick out from the crowd. Uniforms help equalize that playing field.

    My friend, that is bullsheeet.

    They absolutely know when you get from the donation shop, there are gradients of shoes and i s2g some even get their uniforms tailored.

    Cunts will always find a way to cunt.

    From my time in school, everyone knew who the poorer families wore despite our uniforms.

    Plus uniforms cost more, poorer families cannot afford them.

      I’d argue survivorship bias might skew your perception here.

      I’m all for cheaper uniforms though.

  Less branded stuff is more sustainable too, it can be passed on. I got a bunch of uniforms at the 2nd hand uniform shop.

  @Aussieiuszko

  It's been over 20 years now but I still remember how much I hated school uniforms.

  Growing up I never felt like I was safe or belonged in any group, let alone being grouped with my entire school or every high school student in the nation.

  I used to carry a change of clothes in my bag so I can could walk around the city after school without being treated like a piece of shit.

    so I can could walk around the city after school without being treated like a piece of shit.

    For being a school student? I don’t get it.

      Specific schools got it really bad

      Shop keepers, the old tram conductors, older dropout kids. All would treat you different if you were in a school uniform.

      This may be depending on area but in Melbourne CBD, inner suburbs and bayside was like that whenever I was in uniform.

  @Aussieiuszko My son't school tops are white. White. Who thought white was a good idea for Year 7 boys? Has to go in a bucket of whatever that pink bottle is at end of each day.
  And whilst high quality, they are only available from one supplier at stupid prices.
  Thankfully they're just starting a 3 year swap over to dark blue.
