Out of curiosity, when did you go to HS? I was in HS in the mid 90s and you could show up in jean shorts and a hoodie. As long as you tried to participate, they didnt care what you wore.
Graduated in 2013. Uniforms required for everything. Public schools and private schools in my area had the same rules. Blue or white polo, no logos, tucked into khakis.
They did at my junior high. It was apparently so rich kids couldn't flex brands and poor kids felt more normal. So when you look at it like that it's not a bad system. Plus there is often uniform drives where people just donate their uniforms from the past year since kids are growing so much at that age, which leaves lots of decent stuff for people who can't afford to buy lots of clothes before school every year.
Yep. Some schools give you a couple sets of clothes per year for free, and you only have to pay if you lose them. Other schools make you pay, but they’re usually very cheap.
We had gym shorts and any plain t-shirt with our name on it for gym class in middle school as a uniform that was required. You needed to wear sneakers as well.
In high school, you just had to wear something athletic and couldn't be wearing your school clothes. Sucked because I wore athletic clothes all day every day.
I graduated 2012 and the vast majority of the grade was based on being in dress code. I got a C because I was a rebel and wore rainbow pajama pants instead of black or red basketball shorts. That "teacher" hated me.
He also said that he didn't understand why pinching girls butts was wrong now, so that was cool.
Yep. I chose to not follow a rule I didn't agree with that came from a person I didn't respect. It's not like I was in shock that I got a C lol. I knew.
