I myself was born and brought up in the United States but I'm Indian by origin, and I go to a public school where uniforms are not mandatory and you can where whatever you want to, as long as they follow the school codes and aren't inappropriate and stuff of course, lol.

I grew up in India where uniforms were mandatory. That makes everyone equal. No frills and no show offs. One kid need not feel inferior coz his parents did not make him wear expensive clothes, like few other kids. I really agree with that, but I think that people should think past that, because in the real world there will always be people richer than others, and with more expensive clothes and stuff, and so even if you are jealous or it brings you down, you shouldn't let that affect you. I think that if your used to that from school, because no one wore uniforms..it tends to make it easier for one who has less than someone else when their older!

I also feel that wearing uniforms makes the kids focus on other important things which are much more important while growing up, such as playing with your peers, crafts, arts etc.

If children wear casual clothes especially expensive ones, they wont feel as free to play on the school grounds. In this manner, they miss out on some of the fun days of school life. I remember playing for hours in school wearing uniforms. We werent bothered about spoiling our clothes or getting them dirty...😊
But on days, where kids usually play and stuff..like field day and stuff, kids always wear extremely casual clothes and people always wash their clothes. And people dont wear like laways extremely formal and expensive clothes to school. It tends to vary.

There is all the time in life to wear casual clothes...! Plus, it saves the parents so much money that they can utilize on other important stuff. Everyone needs variety in their wardrobe, kids are not different and would want to revamp their wardrobe so often as well!
Okay, I understand what you mean with the money thing. But kids have other clothes besides uniforms to wear anyway, plus dont kids usually get other clothes on their birthday and other occasions?

And thanks for replying! I really respect your opinion =)
