My school uniform wasn't so bad except in the summer where the black Blazers made it difficult to wear, quite a few students fainted in our school assembly meetings during those really hot days. The jumpers really itched as well but you didn't have to wear those if you didn't want to.

Also near the end of each semester we got to wear our regular clothes in what the school called non uniform day and trust me the students looked so much more cheerful without the uniform we were different.

Oh and I and a lot of other people, hated the school logo.

yeah uniforms are a ***** but hey it is better than having to think about what you will wear in the morning (yeah i am that lazy!)
SO true... GIVE US NORWEGIANS SCHOOL UNIFORMS DAMMIT *Cries*
Or German school uniforms. Understandably they are rather sensitive about a 'uniformed youth'.

Well when I first started it was a blue or white shirt and dark blue jumper, tie, black pants or skirts and shoes. We could take our jumpers off in the heat though, and sometimes they'd let us take our ties off if it was too hot.
The year I started sixth form where you could wear what you wanted as long as it was smart, they changed the uniform to a shirt, jumper AND blazer. Made no sense to me, most of the kids used to carry their jumpers around with them.
I saw a school girl on the bus once and she was wearing the most tightest excuse for a school uniform ever. When she stood up, her arse was hanging out and the skirt was really clingy. It just barely covered her lady parts, she looked like a right scruffy tramp. I suppose she'd be even worse if the school didn't have uniform though.

I liked my school uniforms. It was easy to get dressed in the morning, I never had to worry about picking out something nice to wear, and it was reasonably comfortable.

It also made social cliques a little less pronounced so people could drift from group to group.

My school's unifrom was a polo shirt and navy pants or shorts. I enjoyed the uniform. I could mass wash them with not problem. They were all the same colour.

Had a school uniform when I went to Catholic School. Only thing nice about it was that I never had to think about to wear. Hmmmm let me think, light blue polo with dark blue pants or should I have the light blue polo with the dark blue pants?

Oh and some girls really like the whole school boy thing. I wouldn't be too quick to toss the uniform. Although I must admit, after I got to public school and could wear jeans and a worn t-shirt I never went back.

School is not, and should not, ever, be about "expressing yourself" or any of that garbage. You can do that when you're earning your own money. What it should be about is preparing you for the real world, and in the real world you have to do what you are told sometimes, even dress as you are told, no matter how you feel.

I had a uniform all my childhood since I was schooled in the UK. I am also heavily goth in the way I dress and have been since I became a teenager (I'm now in my thirties). Several jobs I've had required me to also wear a uniform, and none would allow me to dress "how I wanted" because that's not what it is about. Uniforms, in school and in all settings, are about making sure that we are a united group and that people from outside that group are obvious.

No offence mate but it's you what is talking garbage! All I can say is you never got dissed etc for how you had your Tie or worse wearing a Shirt from say the George Range at Asda for School as opposed to a BHS or even a Ben Sherman one. I sure have known a few in this boat, until you can show sympathy to these guy's I feel you are out of your depth here mate - sorry.

My whole school life my uniforms came from second hand stores, or the school store where they sold subsidised uniforms to families who couldn't afford it properly.

If I was forced to wear my outside clothes, they would have come from "The Sack"... a huge bag of clothing my parents picked up every few years from jumble sales which consisted of every piece of outside clothing other than birthday or christmas presents. As a child, and a teenager until I earned my own money, I had to chose between gifts or non uniform, new, clothing.

I have more sympathy and knowledge of not being able to afford new clothing than most people, however, uniforms should combat that by providing a situation where all clothing worn by students is identical and not subject to trends, or fashion.

Im glad we have uniforms in aus...clothing can actually be a pretty big deal...you can get picked on if your "not" wearing the right ones...which is annoying if you think the "right" ones look fucking stupid

I went to a private school..which ment our uniforms were turned up to 11
