Can't speak for the States but I defo approach this from a 'parent' standpoint. It's a good leveller. School has one badged cardigan which is £11.50 new (we have most of them second hand) and everything else can be bought cheap from supermarkets. They run a secondhand uniform sale once a year as well where you can grab a few bits for pennies. Defintely appreciate it as a leveller and avoiding morning clothing arguments with an opinionated 6yo.

Maybe not, and yet bullying and classism is far worse here than in the American and Canadian school systems. (Anecdata; I attended schools in the US and UK)
