Me and a friend also once got threatened on the way home from school for wearing a uniform of a certain school that had a certain reputation or w/e, and in year 10 we were all banned from going to the towns mcdonalds because a few kids caused a scene lololol guess trying to enforce collectivism and destroying any sense if individuality instead of just trying to, ykno, install good values really paying off lol

And I think with certain schools you can tell they only care about how they look and this is further enforced through uniform. Like they only make an effort ofsted days and spend more time teaching you how to pass an exam and giving you past papers then teaching you the syllabus properly so they can fill certain quotas and get better budgets.. this ends up pissing a lot of teachers off too because they get no freedom and are basically told to only focus on exam prep and homework instead of creating lessons. More indulgent with how their school looks rather than whether they make well rounded children and adults that’ll do well in life
