THIS is why uniforms must be abolished!

Wednesday, 9 September 2015

Have a look at this article. Seriously. Just read it HERE.

WHEN are the British school bodies going to realise that uniforms cause more trouble than they solve? Don’t believe me? Let me run it down:

Advantages:

• Cheap to maintain/acquire
• Consistent dress

Disadvantages:

• Subversion of free expression, a basic human right
• Authoritarian in nature – leaves little to no room for flexibility, and missteps are met with harsh punishments
• Inhibits personal creativity and undermines one’s individuality
• Highly counterproductive to school/academy unity and wellbeing
• ENFORCES rather than encourages loyalty
• Waste of money that can be spent on more productive and practical things (engineering, medicine, etc.)
• A relic from an archaic and atavistic past
• People are treated like SUBJECTS, not students
• Encourages fetishistic fantasies (but then, so does nearly everything, but school uniforms are the worst offenders)

You want to run a school efficiently and effectively, headmasters? Read and understand this:

RESPECT YOUR STUDENTS’ WISHES!

Face facts: Uniforms are repressive and a waste of effort – get rid of them at once. You might as well give each pupil a serial number. Britain is obsessed with this “spare the rod” mentality and it MUST. END.

Permanently.
