Uniforms should be mandatory in all of the public schools of America

Thank you for initiating this debate. I believe children should be able to express themselves. School concepts are already similar to those of a prison, adding the mandatory dress code is basically saying, "Your clothes are more important than your education." It isn't! Cool, you want you them prepared for job environments, but parents are always telling their children to not grow up too fast, so why are we forcing them into something that they possibly won't be happy with? I know from personal experience that dress codes are really strict, even without uniforms. Plus, you can still get dress coded in uniform, all because you didn't wear the right color shirt, once again from experience, that's even worse than getting dress coded because you're wearing a tank top. Some schools also make you go to a specific location to buy your uniforms, also from experience, and they don't always sell school uniforms for people of all sizes, my sister was proof of that. It made her even more aware of her size, which made her somewhat depressed and resulted in her putting on more weight.
