I Had Or Have To Wear A School Uniform

I'm not sure that children today really know what school uniform is. Back in the "good old days", our uniform was very strictly controlled, down to the boater stile hat we had to wear to and from school.
However, I recall at the time we were all proud of our uniform. It comprise straight navy blue skirt with blazer and cardigan and jumper. For the summer we had a light blue check dress.
Our uniform even involved having to wear navy blue knickers, much "loved" by all the girls at the time, though later my husband said that all the boys loved the girls in their navy blue knickers!
That "much beloved" item of clothing long gone, though they were probably more appropriate than some of the things worn by girls today, I am not sure a thong is appropriate wear for school!

times have changed
we had to measure our skirts this way
standing on our knees, 5 fingers=a hand breadth from the floor, no more/they checked
we had blue knickers also
if we were seen around town, we had to wear a blazer and tie
or else!
socks pulled up to the knees
no make up
and no cutex , they checked
hair touching shoulders and longer, should be up in ponytails
no lipgloss

Sadly school uniforms are no longer anything like as smart as they used to be. School children used to know that their uniform could be checked at any time and there were often consequences of it was not worn smartly . For all of my teaching career regulation knickers were part of the school uniform. I think that is entirely appropriate for girls

There were a lot of things in school in the old days that would not be appreciated today. More discipline for sure.

I am in the same age group as yourself, but the children I see going to school these days seem far more identically dressed in their uniforms than I remember being. Although we had strict uniform rules everyone tried to circumvent the rules in anyway possible. The result being a similarity rather than a uniformity.

There are two uniforms for the girls at our school. Dresses for the younger girls, skirts and blazers for the older ones. All in our school colours of purple, gold and grey 😕 Thongs are definitely not allowed 🙄

I think in my country children do know what school uniform is. We wear it every day from age 3 til 18. We don’t wear boaters. But most people never did. Only the posh kids who went to expensive schools.

I think my school uniform is different but it is just as strict.
