OK, I get your point, but wearing a uniform to school is a rule to be adhered to just like the laws of the land. If you don't abide by the law you get punished, if you don't wear a uniform to school or wear the wrong thing you get punished, if you don't wear a suit to work then your in the office etc, etc. Yep, kids should be taught individuality and not to jump off a bridge just because their mates do but adhereing to a rule, from an early age, makes them respect authority rather than go against it.
