I Had Or Have To Wear A School Uniform

I don't really get why everyone hates having to wear a uniform to school. Its practical, smart and means you don't have to decided what to wear every day.
It also means that we're all wearing the same so there no pressure on parents to buy really expensive fashion items

School uniforms are very expensive too because suppliers have to pay large bribes ("commission") to school to be appointed "official suppliers". Parents are then required to buy the overpriced uniform from the "official suppliers". The whole thing is a scam.

@Sharon - yeah I can see that, but in general I think a uniform makes sense

@KimberleyAnne I disagree. It stifles individuality and does nothing to improve educational standards. UK teachers waste far too much time checking students are wearing the right colour socks (yes, seriously!) instead of teaching. That's why standards are much higher in the rest of Europe where there aren't school uniforms.
