We have stupid rules about our blazers this girl didn't bring her blazer to school and was taken out of lessons, how on earth will taking a student out of lessons make anything better?

All the schools in my area (Not sure if its most of the Country too) have their uniform consisting of shirt, tie, blazer etc. Not many people go to work now a days wearing that, even important business people. They don't wear a blazer, or even a tie sometimes. Lots of people wear Smartish jumpers with a shirt, I think that uniforms should be modernised

It's annoying in my school you're only allowed black hairbands it's stupid imo. It does not effect your education in any way :S

I agree that uniforms and these strict rules are a good idea. As someone said previously, if the school gets a visitor and students are walking around with big ding-dong ear-rings, tie slacking, pink hair and orange skin, it's not really going to look good.

My school has now allowed Years 10 and 11 to wear make-up because they have "earnt the privilege", I think it's a bad idea (all the Year 10's look like tangerines) but hey ho.
At the end of the day you're at school to learn, not to look good. In 20 years, it won't matter what your hair looks like or what shirt you're wearing, your exam grades will though.
