I like the idea of uniforms, too, though a coat & tie is a bit too much for me. Basic uniforms AND GROOMING resolve a lot of issues at schools and for parents.
But you can put a goddess in a garbage bag, & most of the boys will still have their eyes (and thoughts) glued to the bag.
I do not mind the idea of uniforms in a private school, but uniforms in a goverment school? no way, its too much like the Adolf Hitler thinking.
I believe in a dress code, but not uniforms, and dam sure not suits and ties.
