So France is starting an “experimental school uniform program” Sauce Do other countries also have that trend were conservative push for a school uniform rather than letting kids wear what they like ?

    It also stops pupils from being singled out for not being able to afford expensive clothing, apparently.

      I’ve heard the opposite. Apparently most uniforms have to be bought by the parents, and you can see a difference in whose household is wealthy and whose isn’t by how worn down or well-fitting the uniform is. Kids can be so mean…

      Yes, I believe that’s true. With the exception of the make of your shoes and whatever (non uniform) coat you might wear everybody looks about the same. Almost like all children are equal…

      I went to school with a girl who never wore the same outfit ever until like her junior or senior year when she got in trouble for something and got cut off. The word was she said something like “What am I going to do!?!?”

      That’s far more fucked to and sick than just having kids wear a uniform. Granted most kids aren’t rich enough to have that situation even happen but still.
