That may sound like a lot to expect from simple white and black outfits, but you’d be surprised by the depth and breadth of their meaning. Learning to dress the same teaches discipline . A sense of duty is inculcated in appreciating that although on some days you may not feel like wearing the same outfit as others, it’s your duty to do so (like putting on a work outfit and shoes instead of just sweatpants and flip-flops to go to work). Tradition is handed down by people born before you, and if wearing student uniforms didn’t kill them, it probably won’t kill you.
