In most countries, students wear school uniforms , but in America, the majority of schools let students wear regular clothes. This is largely because of the U.S. cultural focus on individuality and self-expression, as well as the belief that uniforms can be restrictive or unnecessary. But here’s an interesting downside without a clear dress code, it’s much harder to tell who’s an actual student and who isn’t. In theory, someone could walk in wearing casual clothes and blend right in. Some schools try to solve this with student ID cards or visitor passes, but the lack of uniforms can still be seen as a security gap compared to countries where every student is instantly identifiable. In 2023, a 29-year-old woman enrolled at New Brunswick High School using a fake birth certificate and attended classes for four days before school officials discovered the deception. She was arrested for providing false documents and the district reviewed its enrollment procedures afterward.
