Fashion

Not once in the article does it mention how having a school uniform that everyone must wear would stop the problem of 'fashion bullying' in schools.

To be honest I think it is absolutely stupid that people would go out and buy expensive clothes to wear for school. "Oh noes! Someone might see me without my expensive tack on whilst we're all learning! Powers help me!". You're at a school to learn, not preen yourself and try to look the most expensive.

All these brands are a distraction when it comes to school. Make everyone wear the same uniform, and they're not going to be looking at the other kids thinking "Where did s/he get those clothes? I want them! Oh noes, my tack looks bad compared to hers!".
