I’ll explain why in a few reasons. Blazers are expensive, with families on average spending £100+ per child on uniforms, with blazers up to £40+.  A solution for the schools should be to print the logo onto jumpers instead. Another reason is that the blazer affects children, with it being uncomfortable and children refusing to wear it. We shouldn’t be annoyed at going to school for such a little item of clothing that doesn’t affect us. Please consider.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2025-11-19T19:04:28.988Z","updated_at":"2025-12-16T10:31:58.454Z","rejected_at":"2025-12-16T10:31:57.044Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-11-19T19:17:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"Decisions about uniform are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
