I think everyone should wear uniforms. Save a lot on the clothing budget and reduces competition based on who can afford the latest doodads. I went to Catholic school and of course we had uniforms. To this day I have a fear of navy blue...
We also had a principal who dragged a girl out of the hallway and washed the makeup right off of her face. And another nun who whacked girls with a yardstick if their skirts were above the knee. Good times!
I remember thoses days well, but I still love Navy Blue and White. My first job even had a uniform. I loved it. I am all for school uniforms.
Nuns did like rulers. And they worked! LOL
I remember what a relief it was when I found out I wouldn't have to wear a uniform in college!
Actually, the prep school uniform wasn't terrible. We wore suits - hot, wool suits in DC - but it was the bobby sox and saddle shoes that made us cringe. This was in the late 60s when everyone else was going hippy and relaxed. We looked like idiots and throwbacks to the 40s. Even the other Catholic schools let their girls wear nice knee socks and penny loafers.
