I have never worn a uniform. My father had a navy uniform. I didn't mind though I don't like military uniforms. Uniforms are useful in case you are looking for a policeman, a nurse, a fireman or a priest for instance.
Ann - there are several schools of thought on school uniforms. I think the most telling one is that if everyone is wearing (more or less) the same clothes there is little room for rivalry, envy, one-upmanship - though to be fair there can then be competition over shoes, hair slides, trainers and so forth. Well done to your son :-)
I wore a school uniform when I was in grade school and high school back in the 1960s. They did make getting ready for school easy. Happy ABC U day... Shserry
What a variety of uniforms, love the school photos. I remember we had to make a summer uniform skirt in sewing lessons. Small pink check. What were they thinking, good job it was a simple design.
Q - uniforms certainly take away decision-making in clothes! Joy - LOL! I remember making a sundress at school when I was about 10. It was hideous, took forever to finish, fitted where it touched and I never wore it - AND it put me off needle crafts for years! Tumblewords - thank you!

I was thinking about your question and realized that I have never ever worn a uniform, neither in USA nor Israel.

a useful umbrella of uniforms. uniforms both take away freedom and instill it, I find.
ReplyDeleteInteresting observation Roger!
