AIBU to think schools should not allow students to wear black trainers all day, every day?

after a broken leg its advised by NHS staff to use crutches, not everyone needs to do this though

I'm just after going to a podiatrist who specifically recommended trainers.

YANBU
It us a drop in standards.
Trainers are actually not very good for your feet.

Of course it does. How many times do you see kids wearing suits and ties causing mayhem on the streets?

Yes aged 2, the school year they will turn 3.

I don't think I ever felt like I was doing something awful putting my boys in a shirt and my daughter in a blouse and pinafore. They would wear similar to a party anyway so it wasn't that alien.

They looked gorgeous and also had excellent manners from early on.

My child's high school is allowing students to wear black trainers all day. I think this is bad for their feet, more expensive for parents, and a drop in standards.

AIBU?

Sod standards. Overly restrictive blazer and tie combos with no permission to remove in hot weather combined with dress shoes is crackers for full day wear.

Bring on the drop in standards with trainers! Our school allows joggers and a hoody … comfortable kids can learn better.

What people wear has no bearing on their manners. Surely you can see that.

Age 2? 😱

What kind of idiot does that to a child?

Their language skills would benefit from it, so why not.!

Our school has strict uniform. The head wears a skirt and blazer. They start uniform aged 2 and the girls wear knee high white socks until 14. Boys in shorts and shirts, no trainers, no silly hair cuts. They look incredibly neat and well presented. The parents wear dresses / chinos and shirts to sports day/ prize giving/ the Christmas concert. You can see everyone understands that how your present yourself reflects your attitude.

When I see children in trainers, half shaved heads, parents in tracksuit bottoms etc. It just gives of a sense of not caring. You don't carry yourself the same way or show discipline and hard work when you look scruffy.

Im not sure who you think you are? Teenagers wear what they wear. I’m 30 now. I went to a school that decided I have to wear black underwear to which I replied “you gonna pull my skirt up and check”?
yoh don’t get to decide what kids wear after 7/8 years old. That’s where you allow the kid to develop a personality and hope that the world (I.e. you.) don’t beat them down at every turn. They are already being told in how many ways by their peers that their body/style offends them. As long as it’s not skimpy skirts and low cut/crop tops, why are you bothered?

‘A drop in standards’ - oh God. I bet she’s mustard keen on them learning Latin
