I Had Or Have To Wear A School Uniform

Did anyone else ever wear their school tie short with a fat knot? I don't even know why we did it, it was just the cool thing to do. Then one day, the school decided it wasn't a cool thing to do and we started getting punished for it.
How unfair!

@SW-User I'm sure she has changed.
Do you ever see her? Tell her that we are wishing her well, if she seems to have lost her arrogance.

They crush your individuality 😠 At my old school girls only got to wear ties during my last year, so we did not have the chance to experiment like this.

@TammieBear oh ok. Thanks

@TammieBear [quote]No, it was only during my final year that girls in any part of the school could chose to wear ties.[/quote]
I find it strange that you could choose to wear a tie. When I was at school we were all required to wear a school tie and could be severely punished for not wearing one "correctly". Given a choice, I doubt any of my peers would have opted to wear one. Thanks in part to equality legislation, men are dumping that silly, potentially dangerous, fashion accessory. For a while, schools started to abandon that type of stupidity too but now the new "academies" seem to be bringing it back. I've even heard of students being put in isolation or excluded for wearing the wrong colour socks!

@Sharon It was because of equality that we were given the option of wearing one, but boys did not have the option not to wear it 😕 I did not have one and I agree that it is superfluous and slightly dangerous as they were often used to tie smaller people up 🙄
we wore a ribbon, no tie lol

School uniforms were too expensive. Most families in my town couldn't afford them. So the school didn't uphold it.

I had a clip on and I still refused to wear it. It always felt too constricting

@SW-User I don't blame you, clip ons look awful, and you can't do anything with them! They brought them in at my school, but luckily they did it the year after I left so I never had to wear one.
SW-User
@sarahinthecorner, they just made me feel incapable of breathing. So I refused. I got away with it tho

Yes I remember those days
