In the school system I attened from Kindergarden till the end of Freshman year we didn't have uniforms, then I changed schools, and now I do have them--- a maroon sweater, gray pants, skirts or skorts, white shirts (oxford or golf style).
Honestly, I really do prefer them to the way it was b/f I transfered schools. We still do have major ways of expressing ourselves, that is never a problem. It's actually A LOT cheaper to have uniforms, at least for me, because I've had the same ones since Sophmore year and haven't needed to by any new school clothes at all, where as I often had to in my old school... this gives me MORE money to spend on regular clothes throughout the year.
It also grounds people, b/c the really rich people can't go bragging about their $300 tee-shirts duing school!!
