“Oooh but anxiety can be triggered in many ways, but that doesn’t mean uniforms have a direct correlation. Kids can’t be wrapped up into a ball their whole life!” Yada yada

On the grand scheme, uniforms aren’t a stepping stone for a child, they’re not a learning enhancement, none of that... so on the grounds of being free why shouldn’t they choose their outfits for school? It doesn’t mean they’re spoiled or something if they don’t like it.

And what’s your point exactly? A lot of things can have an effect on a kid’s anxiety, a lot of things can psychologically affect someone in a negative way, yeah duh. Why were you denying uniforms can possibly do this until now? You tell me rules or guidelines implemented in schools that might trigger anxiety or depression... I’ll answer if I think it should actually be necessary in schools to improve the students’ education and well-being or if it’s more inclined to being a possible detriment that isn’t worth it! Pretty sure something that triggers anxiety etc. is typically looked into and potentially changed no matter how minor it is, or how ridiculous you might take it to be. But we’re talking about rules/policies in schools here not anything else. Are uniforms flat-out necessary? No. So if it’s simply possible to cause negative psychological effects, that is something to consider if it’s worth it if you ask me.

Your sarcastic exaggerating post leads me to believe you think I would be against say, school group projects, because it’s something that can effect or trigger these anxieties/conditions. No, because that is actually beneficial to the educational system and a student’s learning & communication skills, ie growing as a student and person. Pretty fundamental and necessary in life.

Yada yada is all you have to say to a valid counter-point?

I haven't denied uniforms do or don't do anything. I've denied that uniforms (out of every other thing in life) have been proven to have such an effect on a lot of students' development and lives that it's a valid argument to put forth against them. I've been asking you to explain a wild and ridiculous comment you insisted was "fact" and after all this time continue to fail to do so.

I haven't exaggerated anything. That's what's so funny.

"Pretty fundamental and necessary in life" Yeah, like wearing jeans to school I guess.

If you're entire argument is predicated on "Can this thing possibly cause a negative reaction?" and "Is this thing necessary?" you'd be sat at home eating food inside a plastic bubble.

I don't really care, nor see the relevance in listing every schooling policy to see if you deem it necessary. The topic isn't "What Jersey deems necessary". But thank you.

You've also answered your own question. It hasn't been found to be so detrimental to the kids' mental wellbeing that it's been withdrawn. So that's not really supporting your argument.

But you clearly don't understand a word I'm saying, hence random comments like "An intruder can dress as a student and enter the building". So, it's all yours.
