Good point.Blazers and ties as part of school uniform.
Unnecessary. Expensive. Uncomfortable. Not reflective of what people wear in the real world, working or otherwise.
A polo shirt & jumper much cheaper and comfortable. Or does wearing a blazer and tie make you learn better?
Here it's just a school polo shirt and sweatshirt for winter with shorts at every age.

Paper and rubbish blowing into my front garden.
My local school has commissioned a blazer made from denim which is cheaper and hard wearing.Blazers and ties as part of school uniform.

In contrast, my grandson has just started school and is required to wear a uniform. Madness.
The formality of school uniform is strangely archaic and out of touch. As a parent the expectations also cost a fortune and the current standard simply seems to be a case of "but it's always been like that."My local school has commissioned a blazer made from denim which is cheaper and hard wearing.

I understand the need for some level of uniform for consistent standards within a school, and a free for all with clothing with subsequent have's versus have not's bullying needs to be avoided. But there's got to be a better, cheaper, more comfortable way.

The work place is now less formal as well, I think Covid was a catalyst for that. As long as the work gets done and everybody applies effort, what they wear is mosty irrelevant.The formality of school uniform is strangely archaic and out of touch.

Although, I still think there should be a standard in place (smart casual). I can't take somebody wearing a super dry hoodie, jeans and battered trainers seriously.

School uniforms back in the day so you can’t differentiate between the well off and the poor……..free school meals were a giveaway though…..Blazers and ties as part of school uniform.
