It's not as though kids trying it on is anything new. Almost every student has pushed the boundaries of uniform to some degree. My deputy head made a mistake in once mentioning that I could wear a white shirt as part of my school uniform when I was in the fifth year, the mistake being that only prefects wore white, everyone else wore blue. But he said I could, so I got a white shirt. When other teachers complained I gave my reasons why and ended up wearing the white shirt for the rest of the term (hardly fair to make my parents get a new shirt due to someone else's "mistake"
)
This was back in 1989, so nothing new. I was one of the high flyers at school, but I behaved in a way that lots of people here automatically conclude is indicative of "chavness". I can assure you that I was not, and have never been a chav. Don`t assume that those who push the rules are automatically the dregs.

Can you hear the echo of that sentiment throughout history? Why should it be an accurate statement now, it never has been in the past? BTW, I assume that this "foot putting down" would require acceptable shoes.

If you allow yourself to be afraid, alternatively you could just adopt a realistic outlook.

Society is not etched in stone, it is fluid, it evolves after time. If you acknowledge you are in the minority then is it not the case that your kind are an evolutionary dead-end? Perhaps society has moved on, do you need to catch up?
