I'm similarly annoyed by "[Vietnamese] Street Eats" sold in shops. Doubly annoyed if they are "authentic".pblakeney said:
The use of the term "street food". No, you are a kebab takeaway. That's what you've always been and all you will be. Don't blame the shop for trying but do people actually buy into this nonsense?0 -

That such a supposedly brilliant headteacher should so wildly underestimate the collective cunning and wit of pupils in challenging or winding up teachers, especially ones they don't respect. And not forgetting those who make vindictive false accusations to get back at teachers they hate.
I'm reminded of one spat in a local Exeter school when the dress code changed to stop boys wearing shorts as part of the uniform, so they wore the school skirts instead, until the school saw sense.

If the photos in the local press were anything to go by, let's just say that that seemed rather unlikely, which made it all the more amusing.0 -

Why is it that generations of teachers try to impose utterly pointless uniform rules? Do you have an Arbitrary and Unjustified module in the PGCE? Or do they still mourn the passing of national service?briantrumpet said:rjsterry said:

Also, a second hand market is created with uniforms making them a bit more accessible to those who haven't got the readies.
I actually am intrigued by the to-ing a fro-ing between old-style uniforms (shirts/blouses, blazers, and polo shirts/sweat shirts) around Exeter. Some of the high schools with a, er, 'reputation' have gone for uniforms more like posh private schools. I do see them as levellers though, and would probably go for the cheapest/most practical if I were deciding (and that wouldn't include blazers etc, and would be effectively unisex).
Seeing pupils come out of school in France is both refreshing (I'm not a fan of uniform necessarily, per se), but you can see how the ability to afford in-vogue wear will be obvious to those who pay attention to such things.
(Side note - these days, when choosing concert wear for events, I'm increasingly going for a simple "all black" for men and women for serious classical gigs, whereas not that long ago I'd have said "Suits/white shirts etc for men, and erm...", realising that dictating a sex-specific dress code is increasingly - and rightly - problematic. Jazz, on the whole, the more mixed the better: I've got some seriously good - or that might be 'bad' - 'jazz shirts'.)0 -
Primary school clothing for my two are Polo shirts, black trousers/skirt (girls can wear either!) and black shoes, so really not extravagant in any way.briantrumpet said:pinno said:

Yeah, that's how it should be: the school's buying power should be used to minimise cost to parents, and keep things simple for everyone to follow/enforce.0 -

We had uniform nazis of the highest rank and even the wrong shoelaces was enough to get you a kicking. The uniform gestapo was always one shoelace behind.
I assume teachers never actually went to school. Or there is a memory wiping module in the pgce.

I've spent quite a bit of time this year in a school with a very high proportion on pupil premium... in fact (I think), the highest proportion in the whole of the South West, and yet I had no idea from their appearance that more than one of the pupils I was working with had at least one medic parent (and therefore probably reasonably well-off). Genuinely I can't tell - they just look smart in their simple uniforms.0 -
Not to sound arrogant, because I refer to the following in a very narrow way, but it wasn't helpful to be smarter than the entire teaching staff.
I accept that it is irritating to figure stuff out without having all of the information you are supposed to have, and ask questions you don't have the answer to.
The solution to this sort of thing is enforcement of uniform rules.0 -
