They choose their own outfits though? Usually it just has to be formally dressed. They do it for someone's business and get paid as well... if for some reason they didn't like the dress code they don't even have to take the job. It's still perfectly free.

Also, over here it's not a case of "Wear it because your parents chose this school" the vast majority of schools have uniforms. It's the "norm" funnily enough.

Because what the students are wearing doesn't affect their train of thought so why is the school implementing this? (but in some rare cases it
can negatively affect their learning if they're distracted with how uncomfortable they are or how much they don't like it tho - or if they become rebellious from it)
You're acting like my argument is against students learning because uniforms are a necessity or something. Uniforms don't make them smarter or learn more efficiently.
And it became the norm but that doesn't mean it was or should be, normality in life is: Person buys & chooses their outfits to wear. That's how society works

People aren't forced to do anything.
If you think uniforms are good then so be it but at least give me some reasons then

Erm, no, I'm asking why you think uniform is a bad idea, your answer being that it stifles them creatively and as individuals then in the same breath saying "So what if there's no uniform it aint a big deal". It's either a big deal or it isn't, you can't use both arguments.

It does limit them creatively in one of the
many ways you can express yourself creatively. They can still be creative in other ways, that's why it's not that big of a deal when it comes down to it, but I don't see why they should be restricted in how they can dress as long as it's not too revealing... Again, I'm not making some big psychological argument where the kids won't develop properly if they're wearing school uniforms like you're trying to make out lol.. But if little Jimmy would like to learn in sweat pants & a hoodie or their favorite jeans that should be all cool and dandy IMO. They'll learn just the same if not more relaxed & focused.
Some may like the uniforms, some may not... it should be an option at least
I'm asking you why it's a good idea and you're giving me nothing.
