    That is indeed a possible benefit, however, why is most of the developed world capable of educating kids to a good standard without the need for school uniforms?

      Because they haven't got such a highly developed sense of fashion. They all tend to dress like Beverly Hills 902****.

        Ignoring the irony of the Anger management snide, I will, also, ignore the inarticulate, humourless and less than bright dreamer from now on too.

          They have plenty of chances to accessorize to show of their wealth, shoes, phone, bag, laptop etc.

          All the third world seem to take a pride in their uniform, I thought Japan did too. In Thailand it is 'normal' for a teacher to cut a chunk of hair off if it is too long (girls and boys).

            Given your stance in another thread, I find the above comment surprising.

            Personally I would much rather some nonce topped himself rather than kids get molested. Clearly I am old fashioned.


            What's the difference between some 40 year old being interested in 15 year old, and you being interested in a 21 year old?

            Apart from a larger age gap in your case?

              One is illegal and the other isn't. Aside from that, quite similar.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
