In my area, they just ask that we don't wear tank top, pajamas, or see through shirts...not at all strict to me since none of those generally interest me.

I have no idea what each school has as a dress code. There are hundreds of thousands of schools.

They should be tougher. Never would have thought so as a kid (wore a "Disco Sucks" t-shirt in high school that the principal made me turn inside out) (lol). But now I'm older, wiser, and watch parents nagged to death by kids who want $100 sneakers and $200 jeans and have absolutely no idea how long it takes to actually earn that kind of money. The whole uniform should be created and maintained. From the shoulders to the feet. And no hats, either.

I am (shockingly) in agreement with this stance myself. Kind of removes the "class war" aspect of schooling. Only 2 problems I can see are: 1. Could this be considered a regressive tax for poor areas? 2. Doesn't in-classroom advertising like "Channel One" defeat the purpose?

schools here don't really have dresscodes.

Mine went to a public school and they had to wear the school white polo shirt and/or a royal blue jumper with a logo. They were able to wear jeans and joggers.

The PTA in my school kept us out of uniforms (saying it would stifle our creativity), and the kids were terrible fiends, they continually flauted the teachers authority.
