So I’m curious about this, why do the majority of American schools not require a school uniform?

It seems unnecessarily stressful to have to think about what to wear each day.

Uniforms were mainly brought in to stop class distinction and stop bullying however it failed . Its now moved on to other things like who has the most expensive mobile phone or the most popular person etc . Kids will always find something to bully others about . Sadly this is learnt behaviour from adults normally the parents and society in general . Sadly if your not what society calls normal then your gonna get picked on . If your shy or a loner or stand out in any way your a target .
@Rhode57 You make a good point. At my daughters school the latest things are these ridiculously expensive “Frank Green” water bottles.
Humans always find a way of establishing a social hierarchy I guess

@Notladylike Sadly yes but if adults changed their behaviour so would kids they learn by example and as long as you have a society that does not accept all you will have bullying in schools . Learned behaviours change when adult example and adult behaviour changes .
