They didn't exist when I was at school and we wore uniform.
My children wore second hand and the cheapest I could find and were bullied by other children wearing expensive, branded, labelled clothing that the schools banned yet the parents kept buying.
Why the fuck and who has the money to put £100 trainers on a child?
Label snobbery drives me fucking mental. |

"High Schools" weren't a thing when I went to secondary school!

"High Schools" hadn't made it across the Pond then.
School blazer, white shirt (probably M&S), school tie... and cap, and flannels. |
