Bristolians Answer: With back to school season on the way, how do you feel about school uniform rules?

With back to school season on the way, how do you feel about school uniform rules? Many schools ask for certain brands/logos on every item, which can get expensive - should rules be relaxed to allow for shopping around to keep costs down? Should they be relaxed to allow greater freedom for kids, or are they a good thing for discipline?

00:00100%. Obviously everybody's in sort of different circumstances. I completely get the idea of
00:06a uniform, so nobody's coming differently. You don't want, you know, obviously some people
00:11wear and design and some people can't, but I feel like it should be cheap and I feel
00:15like it should be all brought together.
00:18School uniform. I never liked it when I was a kid, but I feel like once you get to that
00:24certain age of going into college and being able to wear your own clothes and express
00:28yourself in that way, I feel like that's a big breaking point in someone's life.
00:33And lots of schools ask for certain brands or logos on every item, which can get pretty
00:38expensive. Do you think rules should be relaxed to allow for shopping, keeping costs down?
00:44Yeah, definitely. Like in terms of like buying the right shoes and stuff, when it comes to
00:48like trainers being allowed and certain materials and stuff like that, styles, I feel like it
00:54should just be more open so that everyone can get what they need and not what they have
00:59to have.
