    Yeah this is all wrong

    1. It won’t be clothing can just get at Walmart, is practical, and comfortable. It will be polyester Landsend shit that is too expensive, rips easily, takes weeks to get there, and feels like steel wool on your skin. Meanwhile teachers and admins will continue to wear what they want.

    2. It won’t promote equality since the poor kids will just have ripped up stuff and the rich kids will load up on the accessories

    3. Fucking deal with it. You should be able to handle not having the best clothing in life. I did.

    My school tried a uniform for a few years and I have never once forgave them for that. I won’t allow my kids to be punished the same way. Also someone found their old uniform in the attic many years later, shredded it with a knife, and mailed it to their former principal with a note that told them that’s what I think of your messed up uniform policy you forced on us.

      You aren’t well informed and just are going off your own personal experience.

      I worked for a school district that implemented school uniforms after a kid attempted suicide for bullying.

      The dress code required polo shirts from multiple companies including target, Walmart, Costco house brands and slacks or black jeans with no rips. Bullying drastically dropped across schools in the district (there were 9 schools)
