Never had to wear a uniform, and I'm for them. And not just because I got teased about my clothes. (My parents valued savings accounts and having my mother at home over stylish clothes, go figure. *g*)
Uniforms are a part of life. I work somewhere with a relaxed dress code, on account of working via phones and internet, but even so our clothes must be cared-for and "nice". Everywhere from McDonald's to Wall Street has its dress code, formalized or not. So getting kids used to the idea seems reasonable to me
And there is more than enough to worry about in childhood without throwing fashion into the mix. Kids can still wear their "individualized" clothes outside of school, can't they?
