My fourth grade year was the year my school district decided everyone had to wear uniforms and it was that way all the way up until high school where we could finally pick our own clothes.
Well growing up as an underprivledged member of an impoverished family i only ever had one "set" of clothes at any given time. I wore the same thing every single day until i outgrew it ( and sometimes long after that ) before replacements were purchased.
It was much like a uniform and i always thought of it as such.
Never.. Just as long as drugs, hate, profanity was on the visible shirt.. Or it was too revealing.. Outside of that nothign really.. Looking back at it.. I really think a stricter dress code would be put in favor, as close to a uniform as possible but not a uniform.. Clothing, something extremely meaningless when going to school becomes the forefront of many teens that get teased if their parents don't get them socially acceptable clothing thats expensive enough. I personally only had this happen in Middle School, but I can see how such a ridiculous thing looking back can be a serious fear/concern for many teens.
The closest I've ever been in a uniform was in 6th grade. You could only wear 3 colors of polo shirts (red, white, and blue), two colors of khakis (blue and, well, kahki), and a belt.
Yes, and I hated it. Looking back, I was just reacting to the class struggles inherent in a middle class kid attending a wealthy private school. I rebelled, and part of that rebellion was complaining about the uniforms.
Yes in primary and secondary school - no in 6th form. It was then I realised that having a uniform was a good thing as I woke up every day having no idea what I was going to wear. I have a uniform at work too which I'm thankful for!
I kinda wish I had, because when I look back at my pics, I had no sense of style or matching until I hit high school really. Who knew you could clash things with blue jeans, right?

That's pretty much what I had, but our school color was maroon so we got that too. We also had a light blue.
Yeah I did when I was put into a private Episcopal school when I lived in Pasadena as a child in order to avoid the forced busing action that had been implemented. We wore some kind of itchy faded yellow shirt and blue pants I believe but my memory is pretty fuzzy on the whole episode.
Nope. Went to a private school for K-8th and we never had one. There was a dress code though. And my public highschool never had one either. I wish they'd ban flip flops though, so girls have ugly feet. *shudders*
In the UK here we have to wear school uniform mostly until we go to college/sixth form which I guess is the equivalent to high school? The year or two before you go to University? I have no idea to be honest :P
