On grub days (which costs $1 and happens like once a term), we mostly wore sweaters and jeans , if there wasn't a theme (and often there is!). Some people believe that kids should be exploring their interests, trying to find themselves. Well, they can do that after school and on weekends. School is not a place for that. School should be strict, not just in academics, but in what they wear.

Did you go to a private or religious school? The dress codes you described sound like private or Catholic school.
I had a dress code at my private school. The teachers made a big deal if you didn't observe the dress code. You had to either sit in the library or go home and change if you violated it. Personally I would have preferred a uniform because there was too much room for interpretation in the dress code.
