Seems very much like indoctrination to get kids to “fall in line” and enforced conformity, to try to remove independent thinking.

I’ve always hated the idea of that. What do you think about it?

    I didn’t have good casual clothes in school.

    On the other hand, the uniforms were priced to the point of extortion, so I’d say they came off as elitist flexing, if not authoritarian.

    The only winner is getting kids decent clothes that aren’t expensive or drab. And yes, there absolutely is a middle ground for that.
