It's not just CVs you can't read properly then.

One is illegal and the other isn't. Aside from that, quite similar.

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?

a 21 year old teacher ....

My she was pretty though. I loved my 6 weeks off and picking him up at the school gates every day. Made me wish I was in her classroom.

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.

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).

Apologies. I will just ignore the humourless pedant with anger-management issues from now on.

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

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****.

One of them is to remove an escalation of what kids wear in relation to developing peer pressure to wear the latest and most expensive clothes. Poor kids look the same as rich kids. parents are not under constant pressure to buy their kids what everyone else is wearing.

I am sure you can look it up for yourself. I take it you do not have children. As for whether it works I do not know, but as a parent I support the logic behind it.

I didn't say he did wear a uniform, he does. Parts of it are optional and certainly not as strict as other schools.

But does it (the uniform) have a positive effect on their achievement or is it just some type of social experiment?

Yup. They just need to get a room.

At the Travelodge, Bridgwater?

They are children, so your liberal ideals do not apply. Children need to feel a sense of belonging as do all human beings. They need to feel included.

I'm a liberal now am I, I thought I was a leftie?

You do realise that having been to school several decades more recently than you, I can remember what it was like rather than have to theorise about it?

Creating divisions and barriers according to what they wear is highly divisive.

Like having different schools in a town each with distinctively different uniforms, you mean? I suppose it is perfect way to educate children to hate people they have never met based on what colour shirt they wear. It works perfectly for football fans in Liverpool and Glasgow after all.

Muppet. Heard of the Hitler Youth?

You're on.

Ok. I'm watching you.

[sasguru]

Betcha can't help rising to it though

I'd suggest that'd make you the bigger man, yup. Betcha can't help rising to it though
