I think kids do pick on other kids but some kids rise above it .. the picking on and the being picked on .. I hope earnestly that my children are those types.
If they are not, and are picked on for their clothes I wish them the strength to just shrug it off
whichever way I won't get pulled into this is what happens hence it is important that their trousers are a certain length because I don't think kids notice .. certainly not 6 year olds .. I think parents notice and talk about it in front of their children making their kids aware of differences .. and that is the bit I find sad about ALL of this thread
it is our fault for perpetuating the thought that what you wear is important .. as long as you're clean that should be enough ..
the whole fashionista thing doesn't exist when a uniform is there, at least not to such an extent
