The unnecessary totalitarianism that is school uniforms.

I think uniform dress codes in all schools thru 12th grade are a good thing. It removes sources of strife and peer pressure.

I agree. There's more than enough time in adult life for running around looking like a slob and not giving a shit that you do.

I agree. I grew up with a dress code in school and it didn't warp my little psyche or inhibit my creativity or sense of personal worth one bit. Just as 'dressing for success' in the business world is a reality, kids who are properly attired, clean, pressed, and with reasonable hygiene simply behave more appropriately than they do when dressed as sluts or hooligans. And in our local schools, and probably everywhere, it became necessary to outlaw gang colors and gang attire in all the schools. Now if they would just enforce a dress code for the teachers. . . .

There is a dress code for teachers at almost all schools.

Personally, I think a "speech code" for students while in school is just as important.
