But the inequality isn't addressed! Parent's now have to shell out additional money to buy school uniforms and you can bet that kids who spend their free time around other kids still want to have what ever shoe, pants or jersey is in right now. They sure as hell don't spend their free time in their school uniform! So this does absolutely nothing to address this issue.

And frankly, handling peer pressure is a topic that every parent should properly teach their kids. The solution to this for damn sure isn't to buy your kid what ever fashion trend is in right this week!
