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 ?

Is the cost of the uniforms on the students or institutions?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The public school uniforms are heavily subsidised and students parents tend to buy them for them. If a family member cannot afford one, for whatever reason, they can have a confidential meeting with a yearmaster and the school will buy it for them (it's the same uniform, the school just sends someone out to the uniform shop to buy a uniform of the correct size), but that rarely happens, as it is cheaper than buying the kid a shirt and shorts that aren't a uniform. A lot of kids just live in their uniform weekdays, as they're cheap hard-wearing clothes the parents don't have to pay as much for.

No idea about private schools, but they're probably richer families, I guess.

That is better, I just had some flashbacks to my highschool that had some kids only having one outfit/hammydowns that had small tears and such, which ostracized them a bit
