I'm talking about parents who decide on a secondary school for their kids...knowing the uniform etc and THEN decide that they don't want to follow the rules?
It makes me want to scream.
Our school uniform is:
Black trousers (which can be bought from asda/matalan etc for under £10)
A white shirt (Packs of 3 can be bought from asda/tesco for under £10)
A school tie (£4)
Black Shoes (£20?)
School blazer (ok, rather pricey at £35)
They KNOW the uniform before they send their kids there yet as soon as their kids are confirmed a place they start with:
"Oh, well I can't afford that blazer, he'll be going in a normal blue jumper"
"He won't wear trousers, it will have to be black tracky bottoms"
"Schools shoes? he can just wear his trainers can't he?"
"He doesn't know how to fasten a tie, surely it won't matter if we don't get one?"
ARGH!! stupid, stupid bloody people. IT MAKES ME SO CROSS.
