WOWWW that is scary !... of course it does work well for the Chicoms doesn't it?.. In other words what your saying is an American citizen should not be afforded there rights until adulthood hey?...
I attended Catholic schools intermittently until I reached high-school age. Some Catholic schools, particularly those in Louisiana, required uniforms as a condition of attendance. As private educators, they could do this. Boys wore all khaki with white crew-neck T-shirts (so the teachers could see that they had them on); girls wore white blouses and knee-socks, with dark blue skirts, beanies, and bandannas.
The reasoning was that wearing uniforms had a leveling effect, which would reduce snobbery and resentment while encouraging students to pay attention to the person instead of the wrapper, and to eliminate the distractions, as you say, of fashionability and the chance for display. I personally found it an agreeably level-headed approach to education.
I never felt particularly put-upon by differently-dressing high-school classmates, however, or by the lack of a dress code in the Northern Catholic schools and public schools I attended. Students 40 years ago still didn't display that much variety in cost and quality in what they wore.
