Yet again in the fail a school has had protests from parents (and police presence) due to 50 students being turned away on day 1 for breaching the uniform rules

Aibu to think the rules are the rules and if you want your child to attend that school you adhere to them?

It's also true that children are entitled to opinions - as long as we remember that they usually lack the understanding lent by long experience as well as the maturity to consider complex issues in the round

One of the grown-up pro-uniformers on this thread thinks there's no farming in the Green Belt.

I hated school uniform. Dd is 16 and now in a college where you where what you like to come and go and whatever dance wear you have to hand. None of the business wear nonsense and ds is HS so my days of stressing over finding the particular jumper socks etc. Is overSmile

what you are saying is that rules are rules and everyone should follow the uniform policy like sheep but if you find a uniform policy you don't agree with then it is okay to not comply

Where on earth did I say that?? Quite frankly it's so far from the truth that it almost looks like a deliberate attempt to misrepresent my posts, though to further clarify, if you mean should folk ignore requirements while they're in the process of challenging something, then my answer would be no

There are rational ways to challenge "rules", and it's a excellent thing that everyone has access to them. Sometimes in the interests of the greater good a challenger will get their way and sometimes not, which seems reasonable in a democracy; the rest seems to me to be pointless playing to the gallery

But that's just your personal opinion, Puzzled, in your social and historical context.

And personally, I love a bit of fabric-based rebelliousness because that seems more honest and refreshing to me.
