One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey because 247 wants to look different 248 the other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they 249 to be, because this new kind of uniform is one that the children like, not something they have forced to wear, and it is also 250 cheaper than school uniform used to be.
