I will start with saying that I hated uniforms.
Well, they weren't even uniforms, more like uni-shirts.

Anyways...
I was unlucky enough to be in school when they first started with this.
They sold us very cheap T-shirts and sweat shirts and made us wear them.
The shirts were shit, but at least the school sign thingie was small and located on the shoulder.
It was changed in the second year of the new regime.
At least we were allowed to buy and imprint our own shirts later own.

I remember protesting against this in all kinds of ways.
Not wearing it, writing compositions against it and so on.

The whole thing was utterly ridiculous.

Now I wear whatever shirts I want and I'm very pleased about it.

Yes, I still have to wear it everyday. I guess it's a good thing, makes things more secure, because people will know where are you from. Like, if we were allowed to wear normal clothes, strangers could come in the school and no one would know. They could do whatever they want.

I guess the girls wear too short and tight shorts. They even make it look shorter. The chairwoman already said they should be bigger, but they just don't care. The same happen with their shirts.

During elementary school I did and I sure as hell loved it. I'd always thought the dress or pleated skirt options were cute. In fact, I still think they're cute.

I never had to and I'm glad. I like choosing my own clothing; wearing the same thing all the time would get old very fast.

I had to wear a uniform in primary and secondary school, I didn't have a problem with it, but I didn't particularly like it.

In HS there was a rule about indecent skirt length, but they weren't really specific, so it was kinda dependant on the opinion of the teachers you had. Breaking any of the uniform rules normally gave you detention, though I only broke them once, because I wasn't wearing black shoes.

No and I'm glad. lol
The closest thing I had to a uniform was for Sunday School and everyone had to wear the same shirt. Also a strict dress code for middle school, other than that, nope.

I didn't wear them, but my brothers did; as they went to Catholic schools for most of their lives.

I never had to wear a uniform in school, expect for P.E. we all had to wear the same t-shirt in high school. Now that im older i think i would have liked to wear a uniform in school, I'm in college now and i enjoy wearing a suit on occasion so if the uniformed looked like a suit i think it would have been fun to wear when i was 16.

Nope never had to. We didn't even have a dress code. To only thing we couldn't wear were hats. During class. Otherwise we could wear whatever we wanted to wear.
I would have liked to wear a uniform. It would have been better. A lot of kids got bullied or teased because of their clothes. A uniform would have solved that problem.

Yes... in primary school* and secondary school*. Boy, did I really hate it. There were so many school rules about hair length, hair color, type, color and length of socks, how you wore your pants(guys) or skirts(girls), hair accessories, nail color and length, color of bra(for girls), etc., etc.

Everything was all about conformity and if you tried to rebel and break the rules, you got into a lot of trouble with the teachers.

*In Singapore, compulsory education is 6 years of primary school, followed by 4 years of secondary school.

O_O HAIR?! FOR REALS!? Kay, that sucks.

I had to wear a uniform for the three years I was supposed to attend in my original high school, but I left it for a different one without uniforms. As for the strict rules for hair, nails, etc. Some school don't allow students to dye their hair, paint their nails and such. Luckily, the school I attended only said we needed to wear a uniform. I only saw two girls with skirts. I broke the rules by leaving my top shirt buttons undone and I left my collar open. The teachers never said anything about it because they were a bunch of lazy slobs who barely taught us right. My second school allowed me to wear what I wanted, so I wore my usual track pants and sleeveless shirt with a light fabric jacket over it.

Yes, including the kind of hairstyles you could have: nothing too fancy and so on. Plus, all Asians had to have black hair. Though, there were the few people who were either Caucasians or of a certain mixed heritage, so exceptions were made for them.

And even if your hair was naturally wavy, if it was overtly so, you'd have to go and straighten it out 'cos all Asians are supposed to have like... straight hair. So, hair that was too wavy and/or curly was out. Also, females couldn't have hairstyles that were too short... their hair had to be a minimum of ____ length. Oh and there was that parting thing: i don't recall what the student handbook said about side partings but i think for all hairstyles, the fringe couldn't cover your eyebrows.

Then, there was that eye color thingy... you could wear contact lenses but not colored ones...

And for school uniforms, there was that "sleeve" thingy... your sleeves couldn't be too long or short and there had to be some sort of measurement or something. Same for skirts and pants: there was a minimum and maximum length sort of thing.

For shoes, only plain white shoes were allowed and they had to be the type of shoes with shoelaces. They also could not be too loose or something like that. And they had to be totally white... not dirty at all.

Well... it was kinda tough and annoying. But that was life in 80s to mid 90s. I think things are a bit different now. Though last I heard, school was still quite strict.

And of course in high school... i got really irritated with rules and broke almost every one of them.

im in a Catholic hs so uniforms everyday, rarely dress down days. Every grade has their own colors Our polo shirt with our school thingy on it Girls can wear the pants or skirts uniform and everyone had to wear black formal shoes unless you had an injury,black sneakers
