Uniform is a sign to the environment that the person who wears lt is a student, l would not agree to causal wears ln schools, because it doesn't promote anything rather than fashion which should not be the case ln schools, as that place should be just for learning.
The deals is, mixed wears ls going to make a lot of differences but none of lt are going to make up the school.
Even in the Higher institution the culture of uniform is still practice, although lt ls not to the large drop, but we still finds it on departmental days, where all students must appear on their departmental attire, yet, ln the university, students wear mufti but can't wear it when it's on departmental days.
what that shows to the entire school ls the department a student belongs to.
ln my secondary school times, there was a thing that i noticed, students were competing to wear the best sandals, and costly materials of the school uniform, then, there was a principal that was posted to head the school, once he entered his office, the first thing he address to.
was to stopped students buying the school uniform and sandals outside, because in the school, lt was like most of the students were wearing different thing entirely from what was the real school uniform, although some students did not see what he did as a good thing, he did implemented it.
The change leads to a lot of students changing school but what comes up was that, there was uniformity ln the school and students were not wearing left and right as their uniform, later on, some parents who didn't like sending their child to that school start making admissions entry for their children and so was how the school becoming the best around the place.
Uniform in school to the outside world sent a lot of good things than we ever think of, and apart from that, lt eliminate unnecessary competitions among the students on who wear the finest sandals and push their minds to think of studies.
Although there are a lot of schools these days which authorized students to wear any clothes they like, personally, I do not like that kind of school for kids.
understanding that school sole purpose ls to educate the students on what is best and will help them as they grow up, will make us to realize that lt does not make any better lf they wear difference types of clothes, because a group ls beautifully known through their uniform.
Assuming l sent my child to a school that wears different clothes what am l trying to teach that child, so I would not do it, l prefer a school where uniform is maintain, even as the students sees themselves on the same uniform that also promote togetherness among them.
