"So basic". Maybe if more schools had uniform, kids would come up with less "basic" phrases.



If your "own person" is in a pair of jeans you need help IMHO.

How am I taking it serious? I'm just saying how I feel about uniforms and I have people like you & Ant saying it's invalid. When it comes down to it I just think students should wear what they want in school. Are piercings / tattoos / hairstyles / etc. not a way for people to express themselves and show their own creative/unique style? It's the same thing with clothing.

Also "Maybe if more schools had uniform, kids would come up with less "basic" phrases."

You might just be sarcastic, at least I'd hope, but what a basic way of thinking. Uniforms have nothing to do with a kid's learning. The only thing it can possibly do is hurt their learning/attendance if they don't like the uniforms and/or don't feel comfortable in class. It's like Jason saying that wearing uniforms will make students more inclined to dress better in the future for job interviews. That's not true, students can and should easily learn what they should/shouldn't wear for a job interview & job/business/formal setting on their own. It doesn't mean they need to have a restricted specific outfit for school every day to learn that.

I don't think there's a benefit in it for the students outside of it being easier for them to pick an outfit in the morning (since they literally don't have to make a choice). So why do it if no real benefit? That's just what I think.

A school might prefer it to "look better" or be more in-sync and that's why I think we do see schools with uniforms but that doesn't mean everyone has to agree lol.
