There are some clothes that are so cheap you wonder if the materials themselves are worth more (even in a damaged state.) I don't know why they exist.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

THEY'RE FUCKING HORRID. EVEN MULLETS HAVE AN APPEAL. THOSE THINGS HAVE NOTHING.

Interesting. Apparently, all skorts have the flap thing going on. Skants are the ones that look like skirts all the way around.

No one I know has ever called either of those things anything other than a skort. I will not as it will just confuse people even more.

That, and "skant" sounds... sleezy somehow.

We should wear borderline useless eating utensils?

Skant....wait, is that what Scanty was named after?

Signed: Probably not, she was named after the word Scanty and the fact that it rhymes with Panty.

Re: 192

I thought I rebuffed those assertions already. Or am I missing something?

You tried, but I still haven't agreed. I don't think we have anything left to say though... Unless you want to annoy whichever mod had moved this thread and talk about anime school uniforms.

Did my arguments not make sense?

I didn't think they didn't make sense, I just didn't agree.

But to be honest, uniforms are not really high on my priority of things that are an issue in schools. I'm much more concerned with pedagogy and curriculum, and class size and such things. That's probably what annoys me most about the uniform debate: It tends to be one of the things people latch on to when it comes to school reform, when there are other far more important things to deal with first. Create a school with a strong pedagogy, and then look at whether uniforms can improve or hinder that.

Fair enough.

I don't really give a shit about school uniforms; it's just people who automatically react to school uniforms with OMFG YOU'RE STIFLING THE KIDS INDIVIDUALITY AND CREATIVITY AND FREEDOM OF SELF-EXPRESSION OMFG YOU HORRIBLE HORRIBLE AUTHORITARIAN PERSON that pisses me off. For reasons that I've already explained above.

Good! We've agreed that uniforms aren't that important. Yay progress. :P

So, what now?

Given that the point of this thread is to talk about school uniforms...

Well then... I wonder what kinds of school uniforms there are other than the usual American polo shirt stuff, the British schoolgirl look, the sailor fuku stuff... Is there anything that isn't based off European clothes?
