Comment on Child’s school updated the uniform policy

The motivation of the head of that school … looks fundamentally-wrong.

However, there actually-is a valid reason for school-uniforms:

a principal of a school who’d had problems keeping drug-dealers off the playground, told the world that with school-uniforms, it is easy to see who shouldn’t be on the grounds.

Otherwise, you can’t.


the whole business of proving-insitutional-importance through abusing all who are subject-to-the-institution, though, that’s just middle-class/upper-middle-class bullying.

Avoid capital-cities if that bugs you: they’re made of it.


Do ranked-lists of the problems facing the school, get input from other parents, & do it for each dimension that’s pertinent.

Make it obvious that this institutional-ego forcing-others’-expendatures bullying isn’t what ought be the school’s priority.


The problem is that it’s sociopolitical: it’s the schoolboard who’s got leverage, and … they’re almost-certainly of the same ilk.

Which means that you’d really need to get them replaced, in order to get this school-head replaced…


Whatever, don’t give-up, push even if the results seem insignificant ( the habit-of-pushing is itself worth something meaningful ), & I hope you get progress.
