    I’m in two minds about school uniform. I don’t like the concept in general, but in my own personal experience, I was glad we did have it. We didn’t have much money, and my mum was really strict about western clothes. I would have been picked on for not having any designer clothes/branded trainers (good old 90s) and wearing Indian clothes.

    We didn’t have those stupid logo rules though. As long as it was the right colour and we had a school badge attached to the jumper, it was fine.

      School uniforms aren’t a thing outside rich people schools here in Denmark.
      In all the schools I went to no one gave a shit which brand of clothes you wore and no one was picked on for being poor.

      An alternative is to just have a more strict dress code (eg black shirt, no logo) rather than specific items sold directly by the school.
