Re: School Dress Codes

Oh god, this was the case at my private school. (I was there for about... a year.) Summer uniform for juniors (grade seven to ten) was a striped, logoed, collared, short-sleeved dress, white socks, black shoes, logoed blazer, and logoed panama hat, winter had long-sleeved white shirt, logoed woolen sweater or vest (guess who has a lanolin allergy and would return home every day with bright red wrists from where they were longer than my shirts!), tartan skirt, logoed tie, navy stockings or knee-high socks, black shoes, and the blazer and hat again.

That's not including the sports uniforms (summer and winter), swimming costume, and any extra costumes, like my gymnastics uniform. Oh, and there was also the mandatory schoolbag. And the only place it could be bought for was the on-campus uniform shop.

Whole kit and caboodle could run up to $1,000 a year, and yeah, I can't imagine having more than one daughter there. (All-girls school. Actually, never mind that, I can't imagine the sheer unadulterated horror of being trans, nonbinary, or otherwise gender-nonconforming there. I was already branded a freak and various other homophobic remarks for not having a desperate desire to get a boyfriend from the nearby boys school - not that my bloody classmates were a much better prospect! - it could have been a lot worse if I wasn't cis.)

There were uniform prefects. If you were caught out of the school yard in anything less than full uniform - including the freaking hat and blazer, IN SUMMER, AT FOUR O'CLOCK ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON, you got an instant after-school detention.

I'm so fucking happy I left over just after a year. *broken sobbing*
