하지만, 네티즌들은 학교에 특정 브랜드 옷을 입고 가지 못하는 것에 대해 엇갈린 반응을 보였다.
한 트위터 이용자는 "비싼 겉옷을 금지하다니 정말 터무니없다.
가난한 아이들이 있다는 것은 인생의 사실이다. 받아들여라"고 지적했다.
Expensive designer coats ban at Merseyside school
A school in Merseyside has banned pupils from wearing expensive designer coats in a bid to stop "poverty-shaming" among its students.
In a letter to parents, Woodchurch High School in Birkenhead said pupils would not be allowed to wear branded coats such as Moncler, Pyrenex and Canada Goose.
Head teacher Rebekah Phillips said pupils and parents supported the move.
However, some people on Twitter have called the ban "absolutely ridiculous".
The labels banned by the school include children's sizes which sell for between £400 and £1,000.
The ban will be introduced after the Christmas holidays.
Peer pressure
Mrs Phillips said: "We are very concerned as a school about poverty-proofing our school environment and, as such, we met with groups of pupils and made the decision in consultation with them.
"The pupils spoke to us about the pressure on families and the pressure on themselves to wear particular branded coats. A few years ago we introduced a school bag for the same reason.
"We have had parents approaching us asking us to introduce a ban prior to us writing the letter."
Woodchurch High School Bans Canada Goose Jackets To Stop 'Poverty Shaming'
Moncler and Pyrenex jackets are also being banned
A high school in Birkenhead, England has banned its students from wearing expensive jackets because they perpetuate inequality between classmates. It's part of the school's goal to end "poverty shaming."
Woodchurch High School told parents about the ban on Canada Goose jackets, along with ones by the brands Moncler and Pyrenex, in a letter, Global News reported. The letter urged parents to be mindful that students who saw their peers in expensive jackets often pushed their families to purchase similar items, even if the price was too high for them to afford.
"We are very concerned as a school about poverty-proofing our school environment and, as such, we met with groups of pupils and made the decision in consultation with them," Woodchurch's headteacher Rebekah Phillips told BBC News.
