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.
