How about actually tackling inequality instead of trying to hide it?
Education is, unironically, the best tool to combat inequality, but the effect only kicks in after the students have finished school.
In the meantime, uniforms cut down on bullying. What else do you want them to do? They don’t have a magic wand, nor do they have magic money to hand out to struggling parents.
Edit: unironically some of the dumbest takes I’ve ever read on the internet in this thread.
What else do you want them to do?
How about working with troubled kids to address the underlying issues?
You think schools don’t have councillors? What do you think these “underlying issues” that contribute to inequality are?
In the meantime, uniforms cut down on bullying.
Do they? I don’t think so, people are just gonna get bullied with different “reasons”, it’s not really about the clothes after all.
I never saw someone got bullied for their clothes in my environment.
But kids got bullied for wearing glasses, let’s hope they ban those then. Also, better to not let kids with weird accents in school. Wouldn’t want to provoke the bullies.
