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.

When I was in school the idea of public school uniforms for our school was one of those that they'd float around to the kids to practice a pro vs con kind of debate and it was almost always a very unpopular idea to the students. I imagine the parents wouldn't really be all that enthusiastic about having to pay for a uniform every year either.
@DDonde I can imagine the uniform idea wouldn’t be popular with students who aren’t used to it.
I wore the uniform my parents purchased for me all through my five years of high school . Skirt was a bit short by the end 😂.
They tend to get slightly bigger sizes when purchasing so you get a few years wear out of them. Most schools also do a second hand shop so you can pass things down or pick up stuff at low cost.
To me a uniform seems more economical but I guess that’s what I’m used to.
