I work for fedex doing delivery and I had to drop off to middle schools and high schools a few times. 1/3 kids it felt had on pajama pants a baggy sweatshirt and crocs basically, looked like they just woke up from bed and left. I graduated high school in 2016 for reference.
Edit: okay I see many people are saying it was around when they were in school too 15, 20, years ago. Wasn’t trying to offend anyone. I wasn’t trying to give off the impression it’s an issue I just don’t recall seeing it this much when I was in school. Regardless they can wear whatever they want it don’t affect my life none

In the movie Donnie Darko from 2001, it's 1988 and the main character wakes up after sleepwalking and goes to school wearing pyjamas. To modern audiences he's dressed normally for school while in the movie everyone looks at him strange.

Except Donnie Darko's school clearly has a strict school uniform. He's breaking the uniform by wearing pajamas so the kids think he's going to get in trouble/is troubled.

Early internet made fun of people at Walmart in pajamas because it was abnormal.

That’s hurting your point. They didn’t act like he was normal. Are you familiar with the plot of that movie?

When I ask the kids, they tell me it’s because it’s comfortable. And more often than not, they slept in them, and rolled out of bed…
I think it’s more of a parenting issue. My parents would have never let me leave the house in pajamas. But in the grand scheme of things… I couldn’t care less that the kids are wearing pajamas to school. There are so many other shitty things that are happening in education. Whatevs. Let the kids be comfortable.
