Their school, their rules. You may not like having to wear a work uniform but it is part of life and you really have no say in it other than go somewhere else.
It's a PUBLIC school. Private schools can do whatever they want (as long as it's legal), but public schools are run by the government.
This is crazy. I can understand no hats/head coverings so teachers can see your face and you aren't identifying with a gang, maybe top button of shirt so girls aren't "improper." But belts? Collars? Khakis? That's ridiculous, and almost as bad as my former private school (at least you don't have to wear the school emblem over your heart). Public schools shouldn't expect this level of dress from their students.
They are funded by the government not run. Each school can apply their own set of rules to be followed.
I stand corrected.
Still, that doesn't make it good. You have to go to school, and if you can't go to private school you're pretty much forced to go to public school. If you hate your school more than you would from just having to go to school there (there's a certain amount of hatred most kids have towards school) then there is a problem.
I graduated high school in 2002 and the attitude of students has not changed. It doesn't matter what the problem is, most students will find a reason to hate school other than school uniform. I live in Australia, we wear school uniform from the age of 6 to 17. I'm not talking polo's and khakis, I'm talking girls wearing button up blouses complete with tie and long pleated skirts (not excessively pleated) I was only allowed to wear stockings during winter, long pants were an absolute no-no. Luckily, girls had the option of shorts instead of skirts with their sport uniform (yes, not one but TWO uniforms) and we were only allowed to wear sport uniform on sports days. Black lace up shoes, studs/sleepers no bracelets, necklaces only if they were religious, no outrageous hair colours etc etc. And you lot sit there and complain about how hard you have it???? IT IS NOT THAT BAD!!!
By the way, I would loooove to go back to school even with the uniform
