i'm kinda on the face about it, but leaning more toward agreeing.

however, both the article and that ban e-mail were so poorly written, jesus christ. the headteacher couldn't get either of the brand names right, wtf. :koons:

I can see why. I went to school in an upper middle class area in the UK and kids would make fun of other people if they were poor or looked not as groomed.

But banning children from wearing jackets based on a price point is just stupid.

Just abolish school uniforms. Trust me it isn't fashionable to walk around with huge brand names on your clothes. It's actually more of a sign of poverty if you do.

Poor British kids. I could go to school in my joggers :whitney:

Uniforms. Every school should have a set uniform for everything that is allowed to be worn.

I bet the parents are the same way.

Clearly there was multiple incidents involving coats for the school to ban designer ones.

We had a set uniform and my school banned expensive / labelled coats and trainers.  This wasn’t because of “poverty shaming” though, my school was in a poor area and these items were always being stolen from changing rooms and some parents weren’t learning so the school banned them.

I support the ban, children have no need for an expensive coat to learn.

The irony of this is that many of expensive coats these days are designed to look like worn coats that a homeless person would wear. :lmao:

Nobody would know that your coats is actually branded and costs $10,000++ that way unless you ask, meaning; wealthy kids will still able to wear expensive coats regardless, and keep the less fortunate kids at bay by making them comforted thinking the coat is super old hand me downs or bought from charity shops:lmao:
