One of the points of uniforms is to level out students in terms of appearance, all being seen as equal etc. Surely as the daughter of a dyed in the wool (hah) commie, she would go for this? I’ve been a teacher and you can still tell whose family only puts on one weekly wash and who has 5 spare shirts but still, I like the fact it keeps you all on an equal footing. Non school uniform days can be really hard for those who don’t have any up to date/decent clothes. I remember people getting taken the piss out of for having value crisps or carrying the wrong plastic bag around ffs.
I also have to say that in my dating life, any military officers have all been to private schools… kind of like a pipeline to privilege, one could say?
