Yeah that's why your "daughter" wears fakes uggs to school with your permission :rotfl:

No offence OP but you really seem to have a thing for posts about school uniforms it's getting a little peculiar :lipsrseal

I'd heard of a school uniform fetish but I thought it meant something entirely different.;)

Absolutely. There's nothing smarter than a teenager shuffling along the street in a pair of fake Uggs or plimsolls.

I doubt they're braking anything.

We've been round this discussion before:

To summarise:
It's not about 'braking' (sic) the school's rules.
It's about damage to your child's feet.

Just because they're not breaking schools rules doesn't mean they look smart......more like the teachers have lost the will to fight a pointless battle in trying to instill some pride in the children

Blazer and Ugg boots, mmm.

Maybe I'm a nostalgic oldphart, but in my secondary technical school from 1956 to '61, we all wore black blazers, white shirts, dark grey or black trousers and ties. The school was a bunch of Nissen huts, being an ex-German POW camp, but the education that I received there prepared me for 3 technical careers and several engineering qualifications. And that is what should concern every parent about the school: is my child getting a good education? The fact is that the schools with the kind of discipline that uniform encourages, are the ones which give children the best education.

Discipline is what is lacking in life today. I don't mean the discipline that is enforced physically, I mean the discipline that comes from knowing where the borders of behaviour are. Teaching self-discipline to a child is the best favour you can give them to map out the rest of their lives. Look around you in your area. How many adults, never mind their kids, never learned self-discipline?

I am going to receive some negative replies about this I know, but I am right. My kids and grandkids are living proof.
