Forums Forums Local News Pupils Sent Home For Wearing The Wrong Shoes

i suppose its one less thing to worry about susan so i agree with you when you put it that way. At the moment to be fair at my sons school they seem very random on who they chastise and who they dont,

mind you if it wasnt trainers it would be haircuts or rucksacks or something, bullies always find a way and a person to pick on , so like ive already said they need to be firm on bullying rather than enforcing the wearing of cheap clothes/shoes or unbranded items in case somebodys fragile ego takes a bashing, do you all break down in tears because somebody has a jack will t shirt and youre stuck with shopping at primark? isnt that a learning curve too?

and what about school trips such as ski-ing at 800 quid a pop, optional BUT thats because they cant legally enforce residential trips regardless of how educational they claim they are and also do we ban school trips because some cannot afford them, I if i had my way id ban them outright as that really sorts out the hard up from the able and half these trips are subsidised holidays for the teachers if they can flog x amounts with emotional pressure they get so many free places

Id love to know where you are all buying the cheap shoes btw as where I live its clarks JD sports or nothing and as they both charge 50 quid im thinking school mind your own business here

i and many otherS have to wear filled in shoes at WORK FOR HEALTH AND SAFTEY REASONS and because i am from a time were we where brought up to do as we were told i dont have a problem with wearing granny shoes at work, and by the way my granny shoes were £5 in ethel austin

Well no matter what they wear, they are fecking useless, so best to just save the money and not have a national team imho. There is only two "ball" sports that England is good at, and Football certainly isnt one of them lol.

I think the point made about the teachers is very relevant here - surely they have to set the example... how about they wear uniform, with school badges etc...

Uniform serves a unique purpose.

This is not a recent thing. I can remember being sent home from Wirral Grammar twice - once for the wrong coloured shoes and once for the wrong coloured school bag.

The whole school shoes issue has been going on for donkey's years and will carry on for donkey's years no doubt.

i cant see what all the fuss is about, as a child at school you have to wear the correct attire and black shoes and thats it and a parent HAS to send the child to school in the correct attire and black shoes and thats it.
it stands you in good sted for later life when at WORK YOU STILL HAVE TO WEAR BLACK SHOES which i have to in my job

In the United Kingdom, technically a state school may not permanently exclude students for "breaching school uniform policy", under a policy promulgated by the Department for Children, Schools and Families but students not wearing the correct uniform are asked to go home and change. If the school took religious and cultural beliefs into account when designing the uniform and a student still refuses to wear it, legal proceedings may be brought against the parents for not bringing their child to school.

my five years in school was mainly in trainers. it didnt affect me education

I got the joke, I'm only hoping i was supposed to get it.

Not bad for someone who only had 5 years' education, Bert.

When I joined TS Blackcap we were told to polish our shoes on the next visit.We all looked down at our feet."What a load of shite" wellies, pumps that looked like muppets and I guy (still around) had a brown and black shoe. This would be about 1960.These were our school shoes.

One poor lad had to polish his feet.
