Re: Uniforms: yes or no
Uniforms at school curbs a kids individuality. It also takes away most fundamental right of freedom of expression. If we want to teach kids to respect other people rights then their rights should be respected too.
There should be a dress code but no uniform. It also puts extra burden on parents to maintain two sets of clothing for kids one for home and other for school.
Many more arguments can be made against school uniforms.

uniforms..
Re: Uniforms: yes or no
Mirch.....why you make a valid point about stifling creativity by imposing a uniform, I believe that there are many other avenues for them to exercise this freedom.
I also believe that encouraging a sense of equal footing with one's peers is much more important in the development of a child's personality as compared to allowing room for creativity.
Furthermore.....if I use Catholic schools as a benchmark then there are enough children getting 'creative' with their skirt lengths and blouse necklines even with the uniform!

I presented three argument and I could make many but that will require an essay , then I though someone might have written one so I found one and posted the link. It has some very valid arguments.
