00:00I do, I wore, my whole school wore jeans through, well, like black jeans, through secondary school, it was to
00:08keep girls safe, I think, especially on stairs and things like that. I think it was a very wise thing
00:17to do for my school.
00:18I'm pleased you've mentioned this one, because my son's in high school, he struggles to regulate his heat, gets very
00:25hot, and last year he was not allowed to take off his blazer, and this was when the weather was
00:33heatwave, so he was actually quite unwell when he got home, because he didn't have much water at school, and
00:40he was very dehydrated through sweating as well, so yeah, I don't agree with the rigidness,
00:47I don't think in school to be any better of a person, I think that's values, morals and power.
00:53I was going to say, it should be as rigid as the staff, what they're allowed to wear, so they
00:56can wear a little bit more environmentally suitable than students should be.
01:01I always wore quite a strict school uniform, which I did think was a levelling thing, because everybody wore the
01:08same, it was not particularly pretty or glamorous or anything, but at least everybody was the same,
01:16and then outside of school you could express yourself more with your clothes, but I do think times have changed,
01:24it was very expensive to buy, a lot of people were put off.
