Expensive school uniforms don't make kids better at maths, so why are schools so focused on them? (www.abc.net.au)

That’s some serious graft. But nothing to do with uniforms as a policy. My daughter’s public school has a uniform of sorts but it I just color and style based, not specific required brands

Uniforms as a policy enables the graft. It has everything to do with the policies.

Try and have a logical discussion. Graft is the problem and a system that allows it will produce it however it is easiest to express.

A uniform is just an idea. It can be an excuse for graft, or it can just be a simple dress code with multiple competing vendors. I’m sorry your system is corrupt but many aren’t.
