: Wearing the uniform correctly is traditionally viewed as a "visual index" of a student's moral core and potential for good citizenship.
However, the reality is more complex. Indonesian youth culture has rebelled in subtle, fascinating ways against this uniformity. Since they cannot change the shirt, they change the style .
