Most dont

In Germany they're talking about making them mandatory since ages, but it never happens

2019-02-19 17:43:05 UTC  

I remember most of the pro-school-uniform people argued that it would cut-out differences in social status of the children by making them all wear the same, instead of some wearing brands and some wearing cheap clothes

2019-02-19 17:43:31 UTC  

but I was one of those children who always had cheap clothes and was never bothered because of that by other children

2019-02-19 17:43:58 UTC  

I'm not sure how much of a real-world problem it is/was

2019-02-19 17:44:14 UTC  

makes the kids look sharp, has them represent the school and its one less thing to think about

2019-02-19 17:44:41 UTC  

are schools in the UK government-owned or private?

2019-02-19 17:44:43 UTC  

Uniforms are neat.

2019-02-19 17:44:47 UTC  

both

2019-02-19 17:44:51 UTC  

That should be all the reason you need.

2019-02-19 17:45:18 UTC  

do schools in the US not have crests?

2019-02-19 17:45:29 UTC  

I'm not 'Merican

2019-02-19 17:45:32 UTC  

thank God

2019-02-19 17:46:01 UTC  

But, I never heard of a school having a crest

2019-02-19 17:46:08 UTC  

what would they need one for?

2019-02-19 17:46:25 UTC  

dont know if its needed, its just something schools here have

2019-02-19 17:46:28 UTC  

^ in-group / out-group.

2019-02-19 17:46:41 UTC  

"We so proud of our institution, fuck everyone else!"

2019-02-19 17:46:47 UTC  

a crest for our blazers, ties and gym uniforms

2019-02-19 17:47:08 UTC  

and then separate crests for school houses

2019-02-19 17:47:20 UTC  

the house crests would usually be represented in the tie

2019-02-19 17:47:40 UTC  

I fear schools doing things for recognition or marketing

2019-02-19 17:48:32 UTC  

it just shouldn't be needed. When there's publicity and marketing, there's also expenses instead of putting the money into improving the core-business of the school, the education

2019-02-19 17:49:01 UTC  

for example

2019-02-19 17:49:01 UTC  

the school should be recognized for what it is, without any additional marketing effort

2019-02-19 17:49:51 UTC  

In a world where schools are for profit, clients are required. Clients are acquired through marketing (though not exclusively, obviously).

2019-02-19 17:50:07 UTC  

yes schools shouldn't be for profit

2019-02-19 17:50:14 UTC  

iirc schools don't make profit in Germany

2019-02-19 17:50:16 UTC  

I do agree though, merit should be the only deciding factor.

2019-02-19 17:50:17 UTC  

the 3 lions in this one are cute scribbles

2019-02-19 17:50:32 UTC  

I read NOOBIS instead of NOBIS

2019-02-19 17:50:41 UTC  

"lions"

2019-02-19 17:51:18 UTC  

better than Swiss coat of arms with obvious penis

2019-02-19 17:52:11 UTC  

i'll be inheriting my partners family crest too since they're from an old celt family

2019-02-19 17:52:18 UTC  

its a pretty cool one

2019-02-19 17:52:24 UTC
