Uniforms create equality- everyone wears the same regardless of income- and subsidised school uniforms (which in the UK they often are)- are cheaper than buying and changing clothes to be worn throughout term-time. In the UK, uniforms are pretty much the norm rather than the exception, though for a while it was only private school kids, like me, who wore the blazer in the Glasgow area. That is changing- parents in school comittees have voted overwhelmingly to have blazers compulsory in the 3 nearest highschools to my home. It means children are smartly turned out and represent their school. But values can differ between countries I guess.
