My Dad did too. Does he think secondary modern kids don't wear uniforms? Go to school in rags and holey shoes?
-
They can't always afford the FULL uniform
-
Both my kids at grammar schools (because that's what they wanted). Not a posh area and uniforms no more expensive than other local schools

My dad was a labourer and I went to Grammar school. Some of my peers from the poorest families I’d ever come across. Buy uniform, not iPad.

Since we’re doing personal experience over factual evidence, my big bro went to a grammar and onto Cambridge. Is firmly against grammars.

Exactly right its the only way to ensure poor (like my family were rip) to get their bright kids a good education, & social mobility.

But as socialism is the politics of envy, they dont actually want social mobility, they prefer dependency addiction and envy to keep voters!
