Did the children in France in the 1800s wear school uniforms?

Answer 1

French students don't wear uniforms any more since the end of the sixties. There is some talk at times about bringing uniforms back in school, to give a greater sense of equality between students, but it is unlikely that parents will be convinced.

Answer 2

French children dont wear a school uniform because these were phased out by the government in the seventies. Back then it was thought that wearing an uniform was hindering the ability of pupils to be creative and open-minded. Now there is some talk to bring the uniform back to reinstate some sense of equality in the classroom (plus some sense of order)

Answer 3

The younger the schoolchildren, the more likely it is that there is a school nearby, so most of the younger ones walk to school. There are less high schools and still less senior high schools, so in secondary education, students are likely to get to school by bus.

Answer 4

School uniforms have been dropped out in the 1970s in France. That was judged as bad for children's liberty, creativity and the like. Nowadays French schoolchildren can wear whatever clothes they want, provided they are "correctly" dressed (you could not wear a bikini to school, for example). Some people want the uniform policy to come back, saying it will boost the sense of order and promote equality among youngsters.

Answer 5

Normal stuff like converse shoes jeans and t-shirts (believe me I'm 11 and I'm french!)

Answer 6

In military academies, yes. Other schoolchildren wore a blue smock, un tablier, over their clothes.

Answer 7

There are no schools uniforms in French schools, but there is some talk of making them mandatory to help with discipline and avoid craze and fashion fads between students.

Answer 8

It is forbidden to wear provocative or indecent clothing, but there is no school uniform in France.
