Well yes, but since I'm going anti-uniform, it'd be a case of each person's preference.
Yes, I know, I'm just mentioning some preferences you left out!
Or just any occasion where you have to meet people?
Of course good grades are important, but going to school and socializing with peers also teaches you, well, how to socialize, and about social norms.
I'm sure there are a million other instincts/social trends, though, that we could argue are pretty darned stupid.
Like sensationalism...
You can argue that they're arbitrary, but that doesn't make them unimportant.

School uniforms? No thanks, they are always ugly (I don't really care about fashion anyways). They also force your parents to buy other for the school which is unnecessary. It would be on top of all the other bullcrap you don't need. In fact, my parents are still amazed at what we must bring to school. In their day, one only needed some pens or pencils and a notebook or two (so they say ).
I mean, I thought I was responsible enough. Every single thing that was once a part of my school and is banned now is prohibited because of kids abusing their rights, exhibiting no self-control or respect for those rights.

Those two sentences, side by side, would seem to be incredibly contradictory. Is there some rationale for them?
I had a school uniform. T'was ok.

Have you never seen girls in hot school uniforms?
Personally, I quite liked them.

I like it. Instills discipline, spirit of unity, pride in association and all the rest of it. Plus you can't tell the lawyers' sons from the miners' sons from looking at them, which is a bonus. Integration and all that, especially today now we have this obsession with branding clothes

Garbage day!!!
You're right. I mean, who the hell needs government and financial sector and all that boring stuff? The entertainment industry and the Internet are enough to hold the power. In fact, I was once in Africa and I asked the natives what did they thought their crappy countries needed to improve their economy, and without thinking it twice, they all answered that what they really needed was
Spoiler :
The internet was founded by the government and its primary infrastructure was created by and subsidized by the government. In addition, the entertainment industry is fundamentally dependent on intellectual property law created by the government - the IP law which is the driving force behind which the entertainment industry has the ability to make a profit in the first place. Finally, teenagers (and children in general) shouldn't be on the internet in the first place. So no, teens are mere pawns.

It takes me anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes a day to get dressed. I would love school uniforms.

I dont particularly like uniform requirements either, but how are they morally and constitutionally wrong?
Also this. I mean, really? REALLY? A high school uniform == institutionalized mass murder?
Also poll doesnt make sense if you already have uniforms? I didnt have them in high school (and not going to have them in college), but I did in middle school(or at least just a really strict dress code). It was whatever. Just a white polo shirt and blue pants (no jeans for whatever reason).

I sort of agree with mechaerik. While I wouldn't like school uniforms (I had them back in kindergarten, at a Catholic School) I'd accept them.
It would also help save our eyes from the girls who like wearing short-shorts but who really don't have the thighs for it.

I am against them, but if they were required, I wouldn't start a riot over it.
EDIT:
EDIT:
Yeah you can, they would hold themselves differently, walk differently, act and talk differently. You spend enough time observing people you will notice differences between social economics and be able to pick them out of crowd with ease.
Edit: Also the lawyer's son will have new fitted uniform while miner/low income worker son won't.

Wow. In Ohio, and I'm guessing anywhere else outside of Missouri, big overcrowded urban high schools are not so nice.
Conformity pressures within and between cliques signaled by clothing style and price can and do result in ostracizing, hazing and humiliation.
When the "uniform movement" began back in the 90's, it also had the effect of eliminating gang colors in the high schools.
Needless to say, Universities enroll adults, where dress codes are much less important.
