…When I was young, when I attended the Chaturamit event We think as children that our school is the best. And one thing that defines the prowess is the school uniform of KAT where the students wear black pants. different from Assam (blue) and certainly different from khaki. (Thepsirin)

It is proud that we belong to a private school. rich people school Different from government schools, temple schools, it’s different grades, and it makes me think that We get a better education, go to school, the teacher trains, the teachers are more considerate of the Bangkok children (because the executives give food to the trainers), because even the code of arms that it tells us what school we come from makes the uniforms that it’s all the same back can be different

…not just different school uniforms even in the same school The inequality was high. even though the school uniform is the same But why don’t we have expensive watches? wear like our friend’s Why is my friend’s school bag made of genuine leather? Ours is plastic. Why are our shoes canvas? But my friend’s is an Italian movie. Why is my friend’s eyeglasses brand name? But ours is unbranded. Why why why?

…..The argument that school uniforms create equality is a myth. that it is more than a myth It is a discourse used by totalitarianism to persuade parents to believe that In this tyrannical world everyone is equal
