I’m of the opinion that school uniforms are generally more expensive, considering you do need to still buy normal clothes. Since uniforms are uncomfortable typically, most kids will change into something else when they get home, meaning more laundry as well. However, it definitely does avoid the hassle in the morning of deciding what to wear, this is true.

But uniforms suppress individuality. It’s like declaring that all music must be of one genre because everybody has different tastes.

We had navy or gray pants for boys and pinafores or skirts for the girls with blue or white shirts and usually blue or gray sweaters over top.

We all looked sharp not matter the income of the family.
