Its not ridiculous its about rules and following them. The headmaster is there to improve a failing school and it starts with following rules that are entrenched in common sense
well done him welcome to the real world pupils |

This is all getting out of hand ffs. What is actually the purpos of all this?? What on earth does it add to a child's education?? Those shoes look perfectly line to me smart, sharp and clean looking shoes what the hell is their problem? I'm all for children having to dress smart and wear proper uniform but this to me is just pointless.

I wonder if theres anything anyone could ever post on tibb and there wouldnt be a person with an opposing belief. Being denied an education because you bought black suede instead of black leather is obviously ridiculous, what a weird argument to fight.

There are better things to worry about than the bloody material of a school shoe.

The head teacher looks bloody scruffy to me his ill fitting suit and choice of boots rather than a smart shoe is more offensive to me than a girl choosing not to wear leather shoes. Maybe he should lead by example and get his **** together and not come in looking like a junkie serving his court date.

------------------------------------------------------ "Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it's hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you're dressed exactly the same. In America, where a majority of schools do not have a uniform, roughly 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. This might not be directly linked to what they're wearing, but having a uniform can be a safety net for many students who might otherwise suffer from bullying. A strict uniform gives the impression that rules are strict too, perhaps helping maintain a sense of order at school. https://www.theguardian.com/educatio...school-uniform |

LT is of course correct. All we are seeing is people moaning and trying to play the system so that they don't get educated. Blame someone else .. its not my fault is the common mantra .. just get on with it and do what you are supposed to do .. learn

He's hampering learning by sending them home from school. That's more severe than wearing some shoes that aren't allowed on a basis of opinion.

I think this is ridiculous. Uniforms are also generally ridiculous and don't aid learning in any way.

It's stupid af and there's no defending it, it's pedantic bull**** that's interfering with these kids' education for no good reason and the headteacher should be disciplined for disrupting these kids' education.
The two main reasons that always pop up to support these stupid decisions are: 1. Kids will get bullied and the uniform is somehow meant to prevent that. Bull****. Bullies will always find a reason to bully someone, uniform or not. It does nothing to prevent bullying and it doesn't aid the education process in any way, in fact, depending on the uniform and the weather it can actually decrease concentration. 2. The idea that uniforms somehow prep kids for working life, news-****ing-flash, if a workplace dictates that black shoes must be worn then chances are they won't give a **** about what they look like as long as they are black shoes. The headteacher is a power mad bureaucrat who has just shown that he shouldn't actually have any authority because he has abused it in this situation. Education comes first and this headtwat's forgotten that. |

When I was at School no other students even paid attention to what shoes people was wearing to "mock them" as that will be the excuse that the Teachers will use for the rule being in place, so why should it bother them? They're black shoes which is apart of the School rules.
