because a child doesn't need expensive uniform to learn, its to expensive for some families and uniform doesn't make a child learn better, especially in these uncertain times where many people have lost jobs due to covid 19 and schools are moaning about a child wearing a blazer when parents could just buy a jumper like junior school with a polo shirt and still learn the exact same, our children are suffering without the added pressure of a expensive blazer.
