Posted: 8/20/2008 12:28:32 PM | Ive just been reading some of the posts on here.....and boy are you guys lucky over there. The only thing we can buy in a high street shop is the shirts, school skirts and the boys trousers. Every school here has a different uniform, and they are all logo'd....even the tracksuits, which are 60 euros each for my boys and 40 for the girls.
My sons school jackets alone are 60 euros each. Its an absolute rip off here...so much for free education!! | |

When I was at school the only thing that had a logo on it was a blazer and you bought that seperate and sew it on yourself..
Cant parents make a stand and ask why every piece of school kit has to have the school logo on it...Sure would make buying shirts, tops etc a lot cheaper and easier . | |

If its an issue you feel strongly about perhaps you should consider joining the committee assuming of course (and yes I know its a big assumption) you have the time/transpost/childcare arrangments to attend such meetings.
Personally I would do away with the damn things altogether. I mean one of the original "justifications" for having a school uniform was the (rather dubuious) assumption that it was cheaper than ordinary clothes but clearly this isint the case in a lot of instances. | |
