This will probably be an unpopular opinion but there should be school uniforms like they have in Japan. I can not believe how little fabric girls wear in their "clothing" (if you can even call it clothing) at the public high school. Boys aren't dressed appropriately to attend school either. This would cut down on the "gang colors" baloney, the drama between the "haves" and "have nots", and give the young people an inkling of what the future requires in terms of attiring appropriately for a particular venue (i.e. proper job attire).
It doesn't seem to hurt the young people in Japan and I don't think it will hurt the young people in the United States either.
Not unpopular and you make good points. I think it's something that should be discussed and considered while revamping education in the country - although with control removed from a centralized federal (corrupt-destructive) DoE it's likely to vary state-by-state.
I didn't grow up with school uniforms, but this was when parents used to actually act like parents and wouldn't allow their kids to go to school in "inappropriate" garb. Also, back then clothing manufacturers didn't market to kids so there was no pressure to be clad in "popular", "fashionable" clothing. Kids don't need to focus on their superficial appearance nor their parents' financial status while at school; they should be focused on their education. I suppose it's going to be up to parents in individual states to determine the values they want to have instilled in their children.
Some of the cheerleading routines they put the girls through nowadays seem more along the line of "burlesque" shows as well. Definitely need cleanup there, what exactly are we teaching the girls?
