“I looked at the prices of the uniforms. Horror, even to use after 50-60 euros asks, and still a single set would not be needed, won’t you use the same for weeks? How happy I am to raise my two children without them, ”Jūratė wondered.
A woman is not in favor of the idea of uniforms.
“It is a myth that children are bullied because of clothing. Maniacs are really” immature “, they usually dress, but everyone else is similar: jeans, blouses, etc. By the way, where there are no uniforms, too There is a certain dress code, children should dress decently, not in training or challenging clothes, ”said the interlocutor.
The uniform costs almost 100 euros
Another Delfi interlocutor, Laura, the girl’s fifth grader, revealed that she saw a hiccup when she saw the prices of the uniforms.
“The school has a contract with a company, where you can buy a uniform, it becomes like a monopoly. The school needs an outfit: a skirt, a polo shirt, a jacket and a shirt. The jacket costs 49 euros, the sweater 39 euros, the skirt about 20 euros and the polo shirt is only available in three colors. “I bought one of them, it cost 10 euros, but I still found white elsewhere with a share – 2.99 euros per unit,” said Laura.
According to the woman, the prices are cosmic, especially considering that COVID-19 leaves unclear how many of those uniforms there, especially the jacket, which is mainly worn during the holidays, will be needed this year, and a year later the child will grow up. clothes.
“I generally support uniforms, I like the idea because you don’t have to worry about what to wear every morning, but the prices are completely illogical. Okay, I can afford to buy a kit once a year, but let’s say where we live, We really see people who can’t afford it. How will you explain to the child why they rip their skirt, pull up their pants or something else? “said Laura.
She also mentioned that before the school year, there was a market at her school where parents sell old but unworn clothes.
“There I bought my daughter a jacket for ten euros, instead of 49 euros,” said Laura.
The uniform will be worn for the second year
Mother Agnė said that she bought a uniform for her first-class daughter last year. The girl has not grown it, so she will wear it this year too.
Agnė’s daughter’s uniform consists of a sarafan, a long-sleeved and short-sleeved shirt, a sweater, and an emblem. For all this, the mother paid 60 euros. Agnei doesn’t seem to be priced that high.
“If we calculate how much we spend per year on clothes that a child is supposed to go to kindergarten in, it would definitely get more expensive,” he said.
In addition, it is convenient that the mother does not have to think about what to wear the child every morning.
“I think that in the forums or in the schools themselves you can find parents who sell cheaper adult clothes,” Agnė said.
The uniform is a matter of agreement with the community
Kęstutis Mikolajūnas, representative of the Lithuanian Parents’ Forum, said that, in general, whether a uniform should be required at school is a matter of agreement with the community. In reality, however, that pronunciation is not always effective.
Kęstutis himself said that his son at school just saw an announcement on his website that the uniform is changing, and this year it is a transition. Her son was going to fifth grade, so he would have had to change his uniform anyway.
A spokesperson for the Parent Forum hopes that the coronavirus, at least for beginners, will not stop the educational process this school year.
“I would like at least elementary school children to go to school, because they can receive a higher education than their parents and need direct contact. Older people can study somewhat independently,” said K. Mikolajūnas.
According to him, a uniform set usually costs around 70 euros for beginners and a little more for older students.
“If there is a problem for someone, it is the secondary market, and it is really quite active. It is often necessary to meet the groups and not be afraid to ask, because used clothing is given away or sold at a nominal price, ”said K. Mikolajūnas.
