I went to an all-girls Catholic school with uniforms, and I can tell you it's not just the brands of the uniform elements that influenced social standing in the students, but the way you wore it - how much is your shirt tucked in, how much is your collar popped, how many shirt buttons are undone? In a sense that was a way for students to express themselves, but it was pretty limited and "othered" some of us who didn't like that style. Essentially do you remember that Fairly Odd Parents episode where they all turned into grey blobs, but some of them still considered themselves "greyer and blobbier" than the rest? Yeah, that.

My experience in Australia is that uniforms helped to hide the wealth gap because theres only one uniform store that most schools source their uniforms from and for a reasonably cheap price. We'd all style it differently too which is pretty cool. There were school beanies, scarfs, coats, short and long sleeves, pants and shorts, untucked or tucked.

@FaithLavinia Жыл бұрын

Australian as well and found the same. You definitely couldn't tell who had money and who did. As for cost I think his numbers are off. I don't agree with having to buy 6 uniforms. Even now, as a parent, the uniform shop suggested I buy only one winter pinafore and two shirts for my daughter. Also I'm guessing second hand uniforms are a lot more common here. My daughter's school offers second hand uniforms for a gold coin donation and the quality is checked before they're sold.

Ayo fellow aussies, my experience going from a public to a small private school was that you could only really tell the difference the private. My lord the rich kids at my school would always flauunt it with jewellery & watches & other expensive accessories (even though none of them were allowed in the rules). Overall though I really liked my uniform, it was pretty & decently comfy. Plus I suspect the aesthetics side is why so many yanks without uniforms like the outfits they see in anime so much, idk for sure tho :/

Another point against school uniform is that it doesnt offer a lot if options for students with sensory issues, such as autism. I grew up only wearing uniforms in schools ans I hated it, the textures were all wrong, they were too tight in some areas and too loose in others, and they were overall really uncomfortable and hard to wear. now that I'm in college I can wear what I want, and the lack of sensory issues makes it much easier for me to want to go to school, without a constant assault on my senses

This is a great point! As someone on the spectrum myself, I have often disliked the feeling of long-sleeve shirts and always go for loose-ish t-shirts. In the few cases I have had to dress formally, it has always been uncomfortable. I can hardly imagine having to wear that kind of formal wear every day regardless of weather while focusing on classes.

Here in Argentina we essentially use lab coats as uniform, you can wear whatever you like under it but you have to wear the lab coat above it. As far uniforms go, I think it's not that bad, it's only one very simple piece of cloth so you can get one pretty cheap, it's used above your actual clothes so no need to wash it that often and since underneath you can wear whatever, you can go to school with really comfy clothes. It's also just a lab coat, there's little room for "my blue skirt is better than your blue skirt"

Another thing to consider is that by allowing kids to choose their fashion it also helps those kids find others who share their interests. Wear an anime shirt one day and you can find a couple of other kids who also like anime as well and next thing you know you've made friends. Uniforms prevent that natural socialization, thus reinforcing the isolation that a lot of kids can feel.

The points on individuality vs unity is amazing. I’m from England and all schools have a required uniform (excluding a handful of outliers), and the difference is baffling. When I left and went to college, my wardrobe exploded. I was finally able to ditch my blazer and tie, drop the smart shoes, and finally express myself. I went from a blazer to denim jacket, shirts to tie dye and crop tops, I even got a pan flag belt to replace the black belt I had before to properly express myself. I always recommend schools to remove uniforms in general. My confidence soared when I left school, and I partially thank being able to wear my own outfit for that.

@moreaugriffins2494 2 ай бұрын

As a brit, working-class kids still got bullied with uniforms. Schools didn't require kids to have clothes that fitted, so some parents would by oversized clothes to last longer, or a younger child would wear their older sibling's old uniform. Other students would notice and bully them for being poor because of it. (in private schools ive even witnessed some kids being bullied for wearing uniform items from cheaper stores?? it was insane) Richer kids could also flaunt their wealth in other ways - their school bags, makeup, accessories, shoe/trainer brands, etc, and they'd always make sure to let everyone know about it.. i guess when you're all wearing a uniform, it's the smallest things that begin to matter - but then again, it's Britain, and we have a major classism issue

@Cr0ut0n Жыл бұрын

I went to a K-12 school where uniforms were required, and everyone I talked to hated them or at least disliked them. Students absolutely found ways to differentiate class, such as designer shoes, bags, headbands, and jewelry. There was still appearance-based bullying, and many girls’ self-esteem suffered because the uniforms were ill-fitting. The uniforms had to be a particular brand, and we would be punished by teachers if we were wearing the incorrect brand, so it was also very expensive. There was a uniform resale shop at the school, but it was in a room off of the main hallway and being seen going into it could be a point for bullying. Personally, I also took a while to develop my sense of style after being out of school, because I never got to develop it while in school.

We are unconscious when we are asleep or fainted. When we are unconscious, we have no thoughts, no emotions, and cannot see the world. When we are conscious, we know everything. Consciousness is thoughts, emotions, and everything in the world. This consciousness is one. Will consciousness be split in two? Consciousness is not divisible. Do you feel two consciousnesses when talking to a friend? Consciousness is felt only as one. Consciousness is one. I am Conscious and I am the World. Gospel of Thomas "For many of the first will be last, and will become a single one." Jesus said, "Two will recline on a couch; one will die, one will live." "For this reason I say, if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness." Jesus said, "Why do you wash the outside of the cup? Don't you understand that the one who made the inside is also the one who made the outside?" Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." A [person said] to him, "Tell my brothers to divide my father's possessions with me." He said to the person, "Mister, who made me a divider?" He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I'm not a divider, am I?"

12:20 Agreed. When I went to schools with uniform policy, it honestly did not change much about bullying and wealth gap- it's just that kids were able to detect wealth/poverty in other ways. From brand name school bags (and whether you bought a new backpack every year or not), to winter coats, gym shoes, school lunches, what you did on the weekends, etc. It didn't matter if it was a school with a specific uniform store, vs having a general wardrobe guideline like khakis + navy blue polo, if there's a wealth gap then it'll be figured out eventually. Poor kids that had to wash the same 2 shirts also definitely stood out from rich kids who had 7 to rotate, as the poor kids had shirts that were rattier looking and more yellowed.

I started at a NZ school recently this year after coming from America and I honestly believe that a uniform is okay as long as it’s done well. Our school uniform has many individualizing qualities so that students can still have a say in how they stole their outfits. For example, we have the base uniform of a shirt, skirt/shorts, socks, and black shoes (everything from the uniform is from the uniform shop except for the shoes). In addition to these required elements, there are also a few jackets to pick from that students can stile however they like. Although most girls wear the skirt with the shirt left out no jacket and ankle socks, i wear the shirt tucked into the skort, with the long navy socks and rain jacket. When it comes to the PE uniform, it’s just the shirt and shorts with the student’s choice of sports shoes. The shirts flip the other way around to show the whanau (family in Māori) colors, Honda like the houses from Harry Potter. In conclusion I don’t think uniforms are a bad thing as long as they’re done well. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk. GOODBYE!

I had uniforms in part of my elementary career and I remember how much they were a problem for my family. We weren’t super well off so my mom would buy a few versions for the year but it was always a big budget consideration. The point that you had to buy two sets of clothes was so true. Also there were only certain places that actually sold these items. So instead of going to one store to do all the back to school shopping we had to go to multiple. Also the uniform store was more expensive than buy like tshirt and jeans at Kmart or something.

I wore uniforms in elementary and middle school. 1. No one bought 5-6 uniforms, they bought perhaps 2-4 and washed them constantly. 2. While the school did sell the uniform themselves, you were allowed to buy whatever solid color collar shirt (white, navy or light blue) and solid color slacks (dark blue or black) Taking those variables into account you can totally thrift shop and save Note: I commented early, so point 2 is moot.

Uniforms are all fun and games until the school tries to make you change a fundamental part of your personality. I grew out my hair because I had grown sick and tired of buzzcuts, while I went to a private middle school that had a standardized uniform. The school wasn't the most strict but during 8th grade my hair became "Unacceptable" to the school. I was repeatedly told that I had to cut my hair, but since I was leaving at the end of the year I never did. The schools can't even let students be unique within the confines of the uniform and try to stamp out all possible cases of individuality.

Gotta add my info as someone who was in a school that required uniforms. I went to a school that was too focused on the school uniform. What was required of me: button up/polo that are the colors of black, white, red or navy blue with one one color and no logo or design. Tan, black or navy blue slacks with the shirt tucked in and, finally, a belt. One day, I woke up late and had to rush out the door. Well, as I'm running late, I can't find my belt. It reaches a point where I can either keep searching for my belt or I can go to school without one and hope no one notices. I decided going to school was more important so I go without a belt. I got through 3 of the 5 periods of the day when I got caught. Not by my own teacher mind you, by some random teacher whose classroom I had to walk past. They stop me and ask me why I don't have a belt. I explain that I couldn't find it that morning. What does this teacher do? THEY TAKE ME TO THE FRONT OFFICE WHERE I AM KEPT UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY! The uniform was considered SO IMPORTANT to this SCHOOL that the fact that I was missing a BELT meant that I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GO TO CLASS! I WASNT ALLOWED TO BE EDUCATED AT MY SCHOOL THAT DAY BECAUSE I WAS MISSING A PIECE OF LEATHER AROUND MY WAIST! The fact that the uniform took precedence over my education is ridiculous.

Some are forced and unhappy with it, so they try to make the most out of their authority like some police officers or army sergeants.

In the school I went to, the boys uniform was black trousers with a button-down shirt, a colour-coordinated tie you could only buy from the school and a blazer (either one made by the school, or another one with a patch ironed onto it) When it got hot in the summer, it was extremely difficult to cool down, especially in class because you had to keep your uniform on entirely. Luckily the sixth form had a slightly less strict policy. The requirement was you had to wear a 2-piece or 3-piece suit to school every day, and had to come in for the full day every day, even if you didn't have classes that day. Needless to say, there were the same difficulties with temperature. They also regulated what coats and bags you were allowed to have. For context, I went to school in England

My kids go to a lower income, high minority elementary school that has a uniform and last year they floated the idea of eliminating them. The parents were overwhelmingly against it. The uniform is like 3-4 colors of polo and blue or khaki pants/shorts/skirts. I'm not sure how it is in higher levels but for us with kids under 10 it has made getting dressed way easier because there are very few options. This causes way less fights over clothing compared to days they don’t have to wear the uniform like weekends when they can wear whatever they want. It also has made shopping easier at least in the choice option as the only thing that can fuss about is which color to go with. My opinion may change as they get older but at least for now I’m glad we have the uniform requirement.

It also did contribute to a sense of school pride, especially if you are taking the bus or subway, you kinda get a sense of whose school’s territory you are entering at each stop, judging by the uniforms of the students coming on board. Our uniforms were all made of the same materials, but we did personalize which item to wear and how they were worn, which was kinda fun. And again, they are super comfy. I still wear them as my pajamas lol.

I suspect China has a more 'community' focused culture vs the US emphasis on individuality? I think I'd be fine with a comfy uniform that can be mix and matched a bit, but only if it was part of my whole educational culture, not something just a few school age groups wear. I love that you still use the uniform for pajamas!

The cost of uniforms gets even worse when you take into account that lots of private schools call for both a summer and winter variant of their uniforms. On top of that the income gap between students becomes obvious the moment the uniforms begin to show wear and tear, the lower income students cant afford to replace their uniforms and all the other students will notice, speaking from experience. That's not even going into the pressure on low income parents to buy informs for more then one kid.

as a Dutchman, here in the Netherlands we don't have school uniforms aside from the really expensive private schools *perhaps.* As a victim of bullying myself, clothing doesn't really matter. Bullies are always going for the lowest-hanging fruit, the most obvious 'issue' you have. For me, that was my hair colour (dark, blazing red, aka the rarest hair colour in the world) and my ADHD. If your appearance is not abnormal, they will focus on your behaviour. A boy in my class in middle school was bullied because he would bite his pens to the point of them spilling ink all over him... *constantly.* A girl in a side class of mine in high school was bullied because of her voice and the way she styled her hair.

At first my family got around the recurring cost of our uniforms and PE kits with hand-me-downs, until our primary and high schools both got into the practice of changing their uniforms and kits ever so slightly every few years. Even when the change was as trivial as slightly tweaking the arrangement of the logo, teachers would drop detentions on you for daring to use the old uniforms, truly the most egregious of crimes(!) With 4 children going through school and each needing a uniform and PE kit, our parents were buying anywhere between 2 and 8 new school outfits every few years, with the old ones being made valueless so the most we could do was give them to charity. Unless those schools were getting pay cuts from the uniform suppliers' soaring profits, they were lying through their teeth about their uniforms being a cost-saving measure; it was all a disgusting waste of money that badly needed to be spent elsewhere.

Another problem with the Uniform statistics you didn't mention is selection bias. i.e. the places with Uniforms are often wealthier school districts, particularly private schools. Studies have long shown that students of wealthier parents tend to do better in school, while students from poorer families tend to do worse. So a lot of the statistics that make Uniforms look effective are really only showing that wealthier school districts do better than poorer school districts, something that we already know.

In public schools, you can pretty much get away with a cheap polo shirt and pants/dress in the relevant school colours. Walk into any Big W or Kmart and you’ll find an area in the kids clothing section full of the local primary school’s colours. Private schools are more like what’s discussed in this video - private schools with strict uniforms you must buy from their vendor.

We had to buy the uniforms from one specific store that would sell them for around $100, and would give you detention if you wore some not from the store. We had only a few outfits that we had to wear outside of school because we didn't have that many clothes outside of uniforms. They were bad quality and would rip and tear fairly easily, but we couldn't afford new ones so we had to deal with it. Instead of being bullied for what we wear, I was bullied for my size, still giving me self esteem issues to this day, and would actually cause me to miss school more often for fear of being bullied.
