In the UK, you wear a mandatory uniform to school from the ages of 4 to 16, but when you go to sixth form or college from 16-18, you can wear what you want (some sixth forms have uniforms, but not many). SInce college is meant to be a transitional thing from secondary school to University or work, you get some....interesting characters who try to express themselves. In my politics class there was a guy who wore edgy t-shirts and a trench coat and tried to edgelord out everyone by yelling about socialism and anarchy and the revolution. One day the teacher told him to knock it off and he punched a filing cabient and ran out and didn't come back. We found out that his parents were doctors, so he was very wealthy and middle class, just bad at hiding it. Other people in the class included a literal Nazi apologist, a spoiled rich girl who would whine about her parking space and gay people and a guy who thought it was funny to run across the tables. The teacher was a very nervous man who would come in late because he was smoking, rambling on about anything but the work and eventually left six weeks before the exam and was replaced by a turkish nationalist who would go on and on about why Turkey was the best country in Europe and how the EU was keeping them down. Somehow I passed that class. I was very glad to leave college and go to uni. Apparently it wasn't just my college, most of the UK colleges are full of odd balls trying to express themselves for the first time in a semi-adult enviroment.
