My mom sent me this video. Kind of puts it into perspective. Just an interesting video. I have always supported school uniforms, never thought of this though.
I'm for dress codes but not uniforms. Simple guidelines that people have to dress within allow freedom while respecting dignity. When I went to private school and they had uniforms, some families had a hard time buying an extra week of clothes. Plus there are more important areas of discipline than the color or collar of a shirt, as long as it's modest.

Well I am not saying "Dress Code" as in hardcore uniforms. But, business casual would be fine. Slacks, black/brown shoes, black/brown socks, solid color polo or button-up shirt. And they aren't that expensive. Go to K-Mart or Wal-Mart, you can get all that for a total of about $30-$50 for a kid. The "can't afford it" is an old argument, imo. When these people can buy designer jeans, expensive tennis shoes, team-sport shirts/jerseys, cell phones, IPODs, Latptop computers, etc....they can spend $30 on some business casual dress.
But, if school truely is to prepare you for life, shouldn't it be more realistic...I can't wear baggy pants and sport jerseys to the office....

I just wonder after pulling all of that out from his waistband how his pants didn't fall down. But yea, school dress code is something worth consideration.
