As soon as the Christmas decorations fell, the back-to-school sign in the shop window stood up.
Two to three weeks before the start of the semester, a mailbox packed with children\'s flyers in their original new uniforms reminds many parents that the biggest budget is January instead of December.
I am totally in favor of wearing school uniforms.
It looks smart and removes the social impact of the fight for clothing and its associated status.
It makes sense to have a wear-resistant wardrobe for all.
While \"fit for all\" is questionable as uniforms are rarely fashionable or flattering.
Maybe that\'s the point.
Children learn, think, entertain, make friends at school instead of attending fashion shows.
Although I go to school myself, I am not a person who violates the rules of school uniforms as a parent.
If you register for a school, you agree to comply with its rules.
That\'s why I supported Hastings college last year, which has long beenhaired 16-year-
Although it was part of the school rules, old Lukan batthyson refused to cut his hair.
Battison brought the school and board to court and won.
The judge ruled that the hair rules were too vague and uncertain.
According to last year\'s verdict, there seems to be no precedent for students or parents to bring the school to court.
There has been no running in court for students wishing to wear more jewelry or sports tattoos.
Law firm Beattie Rickman Legal is one of several lawyers who have expressed their views on the Battison case, and the court concluded in its analysis that the court has \"inherent power to supervise the use of public power, to ensure proper use of public power.
While in this case the public may not agree whether Lukan should bring his school to court, the fact that he has at least the right to do so cannot in any way cause controversy.
\"Therefore, the school has the legal right to make rules --
In this case, for example, the hair rules.
The rules of the school are still in compliance with the law.
Education Act 1989 (\"Act\")
It is stipulated that the board of directors may establish rules that they believe may be necessary for the control and management of the school.
Beattie Rickman pointed out that the principal can suspend the student \"if it is reasonably certain that the student\'s behavior is a dangerous example for others.
What does this have to do with the school uniform list in January?
Last week, the Herald reported on Sunday that retailer Postie Plus launched a cost-effective universal school uniform series, the Schoolzone, offering a range of T-
Shirt, polos, skirt and shorts in School color but no school logo.
The report quoted Postie chief executive Richard Binns as saying that parents can buy high quality school uniforms for less than $50.
It attracted Melissa Morris, Papamoa\'s mom, who said in the report that the new series was a \"great choice \".
Two of her four children studied at muntema gannoi College.
Morris wants the school not to be too strict to allow the normal items of post to enter.
\"If I can save $20 on a pair of shorts, then I can buy his school shoes. \" Makes sense.
Like Morris, I like a cheaper uniform option.
Like many Bay parents, my children go to school and the school rules that uniforms must be purchased at a particular store in Tauranga.
As far as I know, there are two main stores in the bay that run the uniform business, active school uniforms and New Zealand school uniforms, as well as national chain stores.
The problem is that if the unified business is provided to a small number or even a store, there will be a potential price monopoly.
As a shopaholic and label lover, I like to read clothes labels, including where the labels are made and how the fabric is made
Above the clothes.
Questions every parent should ask
Is there any difference between this $100 expensive shoe or skirt or jacket from the required uniform store and the more generic item from Postie or warehouse?
Yes, the uniform supplier may have the school logo and I like it because it adds a sense of pride and a sense of belonging to the school community, but the high price of the unified store proves the reasonableness of this logo.
In many cases, the price is more than double that of the normal version.
Just in my informal shopping survey this week, a white shirt needed was almost $50 and a similar generic version of Postie Plus was $17 or $2 and $30.
One of the school shoes I need on my list is over $100, but I can get similar shoes in the warehouse for $25.
Yes, I, like the parents of Lukan batthyson, signed a school contract to comply with the uniform rules.
My mom thought maybe I should suck it up instead of shaking the boat and buying the damn shoes.
But my reporters and consumers are screaming no, it\'s wrong.
What is the real difference between a cheaper version of warehouse or Postie? In some cases -
I pointed out again in the informal survey --
For example, the origin of this garment is made in Fiji.
Or have the same fabric.
I purchased regular items from Postie and the warehouse, and in terms of washing and wearing, I didn\'t notice a little different from the more expensive items.
Children grow up easily and are dirty.
I question the logic of having to buy five times more than what I can buy, even morality.
The cost of education in books, after-school activities, sports and fundraising has been a huge burden for many New Zealand families.
Schools need to recognize this and give priority to important issues in education.
I wore a $20 white shirt from the warehouse, instead of a higher-priced designated item, showing the behavior of \"being a dangerous example to others, or is public power not properly utilized?
Parents need to ask the school-
People negotiating with unified suppliers
Have we made a fair deal?
