This isn't very intuitive, by the way.

Children from wealthy and impoverished families attend the same school, but everyone wears the same uniform. This promotes social tolerance. Children are less likely to bully those who are less well-dressed. As a result, they grow up to be slightly less aggressive.

On the contrary, the more ripped your jeans are, the more authoritative you are; it's obvious.

Unlikely. Seriously, I often see such arguments, but I've never seen children compare clothes. Phones, as Ples suggested, maybe. Clothes? That's just ridiculous. On the contrary, the more tattered your jeans, the more authoritative you are; it's obvious.
So, rather, they grow up narrow-minded and insecure because they can't wear what they want.

But the children look the same. This potential psychological barrier has been eliminated, the idea that "he is different, not like me."

Or, on the contrary, it might exacerbate the situation. Everyone looks the same, which means people with quirks will stand out even more. And again, it will be the same old story: "He's not like us, we don't want to interact with him." Besides, uniforms have the annoying habit of wearing out, getting stained, and tearing. So, as a result, the wealthy will often wear new and good-looking uniforms, while the less fortunate will wear patched and stained ones.

If a child has a "quirk" like picking their nose in class or bothering boys, whether or not they wear a uniform makes no difference.

Children grow faster than uniforms wear out, I assure you. Unless they're wearing hand-me-downs from older siblings.

So, what kind of "elimination of the psychological barrier" are you talking about in your previous post? Leaving aside the fact that the things you mentioned are hardly quirks. But someone quiet and uncommunicative, for example, might be ridiculed. Someone who walks a little strangely. Someone whose last name is "funny" (for example, the last name Vagina for a girl).

I assure you, it all depends on the child, but the uniform usually lasts for at least two years. Sometimes even longer. There may be exceptions during puberty, but on average, it's as I said. And, of course, it can be worn for longer.

But let's consider the situation. A uniform is introduced. And a poor family buys this miserable jacket and trousers for half their salary, while a rich family buys it without a second thought. But the children look the same. This eliminates a possible psychological barrier, the idea that "he's different, not like me." The social divide is partially smoothed out.

Will children be "inhibited and have complexes because they can't dress in what they want"? Please. What nonsense. A child must be psychologically stable enough just to attend school. So, whoever becomes inhibited because of such trivial things will have a hard time in life anyway. Moreover, children can wear whatever they want after school.
Of course, many people don't like uniforms; that's normal. But to develop complexes because of this is an exaggeration.
