Rejected petition Make schools non-school uniform/relax uniform standards to PE kits

make school either non-school uniform or relax the uniform a lot more e.g. polo shirts and leggings/joggers

More details

school uniform is expensive and pressurizing. not only are students forced to go to school (which, lets be honest, most don't want to go) but they're forced into uncomfortable, often expensive uniform which you probably wont need to wear until you're an adult. Its distracting, pointless for a good ten years, and doesn't let kids and teens express themselves. I understand the idea of school uniform, but BLAZERS, SHIRTS and TIES on kids? No thank you.
