In Australia, almost all public schools have school uniforms. My school had school uniforms, all the neighbouring schools had uniforms, in fact, I couldn't think of a school that didn't have uniforms.
The presence of uniforms didn't lead to rebellion in other areas, nor did they lead to exceptional academic results. Indeed, about the only real affect that it had was in the stimulation of debates such as this in social sciences classes.
Seriously, uniforms are just uniforms. It's just clothing. In my opinion, it's better for schools to have uniforms, because it makes the students appear more professional to the local community, it tends to be cheaper than keeping up with latest fashions and it's simpler to enforce than an arbitrary dress code.
