Bullying and classism is worse here because we are an incredibly spiteful, classist and all-round cunty country.
Social mobility is marginally (by a very small amount) better in the U.S. than the U.K. and worse by a rather bigger margin than most of Europe. They have class distinctions as much as anywhere, just a cultural myth that says different - one that's as much a lie as the myths that fuel their worship of guns. Probably the main reason Trump has the following he does.

Imagine how much worse the bullying and classism would be if everyone wore their own clothes to school. It was bad enough on non-school uniform days, can’t imagine how hideous that would have been spread across the course of a whole school year.
Broadly speaking I’m in favour, as it cuts out some of the above and also makes it easy to deal with the logistics of getting your kid to school. Schools that get mega hung up and fussy about it can gtfo tho.
