If schools insist on hanging on to the archaic 20th century habit of making students wear uniforms, maybe they should supply them? Parents could pay a bond at the start of the school year. So when students return their uniform items at the end of it, parents would only have to pay for items that got lost or damaged.

"Wellington woman was horrified when she was handed the bill for her son's uniform this year and discovered she had to pay more than $1000.

... She said every uniform item had the school's crest on it so she could not buy a cheaper generic version. The uniform was bought from the school's uniform shop."

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Yoon, J, Rei, and Liz-- Rock U (Orig. KARA).

Normally I am not so keen on chants, but what precedes and follows here is some wonderfully melodic writing from Sweetune, providing a context that makes that chanting quite winning. I love the production, and think all the girls’ voices work well together here; Yoon and J are always favourites of mine. For this stage, the school uniform look echoes without replicating the the KARA stages of long ago.

Where would Kpop be without school uniforms, especially the “Clueless” variant? There’s probably an article, or even a book, to be written on this topic.

1966 A Group of Men in Uniform at the Bottom of Stairs, 1966

The image shows a group of young men standing in front of a large building.
They are all dressed in school uniforms that include blazers, ties, and sweaters with crested badges.
Some of them have short hair, while others have longer hairstyles.
All are looking towards the camera, and one of them is slightly off-center to the right, giving an impression of movement or a casual pose.
The background shows a tall building with multiple windows, suggesting that they might be at a school or a similar institutional setting.
There is no visible text on the image to provide additional context.

"There are several steps the New Zealand government could take when it comes to school uniforms, including making subsidies for uniform costs more accessible and less bureaucratic. The government could legislate state funding of school uniforms for high-need students."

... or we could just admit that school uniforms are a pointless hangover from the colonial era and ban making them compulsory. If not get rid of them altogether.

We also keep hearing about how schools need to prepare children for the world of . Let's kill two birds with one stone. Jobs that require uniforms provide them for free. To prepare children for the workforce, schools should also provide uniforms for free.

@SkepticalEye #schooluniforms are a spectacular idea but that idea is totally ruined if it's different between students.

every student in a school should wear the same standardized uniform options; the only differences should be in sizes.

everyone wins! much more affordable for parents plus there's no social status defined by fashion. eliminates so many problems.

have the staff wear uniforms also (albeit modified versions), let them win as well.
