I have to wear a school uniform (But only for 31 more days!). I hate it. It's maroon and sky blue, and, as our school is private, we emulate an english school uniform, and hava a blazer andlong sleeves in the Australian Winter and Autumn (It's still hot), and a tie + long trowsers all year round.

I envision a small device, worn round the neck. You wear normal clothes, and the device. When the teacher or a visitor looks at you, the device projects the image of a uniform directly into their visual cortex. No more uniforms

Pseudouniforms are worn at public schools, and even non-state schools in areas like mine.

As for the idea, projecting an image into ones visual cortex? Do you think that teachers would consent to brain surgery in order to be duped? I wouldn't. Now under the guise of incredible super powers...

I'm on my last 6 months of being a teenager, I'd give anything NOT to have to grow up...

If this came to fruition it would certainly beat picking away at your tie with a compass to customise your uniform. I still have disagreements with my boss over what constitutes "smart-casual" , so it goes beyond adolescence for some of us.
