If schools insist on hanging on to the archaic 20th century habit of making students wear uniforms, maybe they should supply them? Parents could pay a bond at the start of the school year. So when students return their uniform items at the end of it, parents would only have to pay for items that got lost or damaged.

"Wellington woman was horrified when she was handed the bill for her son's uniform this year and discovered she had to pay more than $1000.

... She said every uniform item had the school's crest on it so she could not buy a cheaper generic version. The uniform was bought from the school's uniform shop."

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Yoon, J, Rei, and Liz-- Rock U (Orig. KARA).

Normally I am not so keen on chants, but what precedes and follows here is some wonderfully melodic writing from Sweetune, providing a context that makes that chanting quite winning. I love the production, and think all the girls’ voices work well together here; Yoon and J are always favourites of mine. For this stage, the school uniform look echoes without replicating the the KARA stages of long ago.

Where would Kpop be without school uniforms, especially the “Clueless” variant? There’s probably an article, or even a book, to be written on this topic.
