Uniform
We’ve got it arse about face in the UK
School kids should attend
in their own clothes
University students
should require a uniform
Why make them wait
for a cap and gown?
Teenagers shouldn’t
be cloned drones in brown
but unique sorts with
critical thinking skills
savvy about finance
and money,
responsible about
relationships.
If they get to
University then they have earned the right
to wear a uniform to
let them stand out.
They can carry their
student debt about their neck
on a chalk board
Anybody would think that
"Schools teach against the individual"
“You need to fit in
rather than stand out”
The ones who survive
into adulthood
are the canaries they
sent down the coalmine.
They still sing and
dance and express creatively
but behind closed
doors.
You’re top of the
form
if you wear a uniform
but your job
(which
you know)
is to rebel.
