Comment on Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform
MBech@feddit.dk 2 hours agoThere was no doubt in my school in NZ who was poor and who wasn’t, based on how someone’s clothes fit them or how worn they were. The youngest in a poor family would have some very worn clothes that had been passed down from their siblings. Often 2 sizes too big or too small.

right, which is a real issue for the parents having to buy the uniforms every year. Im wishing for an ideal scenario where the school is tasked with trading in/out uniforms year after year and the parents just wash them

Will not stop wealthy parents buying new.
Will just take burden of poor while continuing to hilight the difference in quality.

I agree it wont place a top cap on wealth displays, but it will raise the bottom cap
