    Agreed. The argument that it’s an equaliser is delusional and clearly made by people who didn’t have to wear 20 year old hand me downs for their uniform.

        I don’t know why you think that would be the case. Uniforms were way cheaper when I was a kid in the 90s but my parents still couldn’t buy me two sets of clothes. At least when I wore my own clothes I felt like me.

      Recently saw the average parent has to pay £350 for secondary school uniforms.

      That is more than I spend on food for the whole of winter for myself, and more than my entire wardrobe.
