School Pupils Should Be Required To Wear School Uniforms

I was shocked to see that one of the most contested opinions on DDO were that pupils should have to wear school uniforms. I'm from the UK -- most schools require a uniform to be worn -- and this isn't even considered a debatable issue. I'm interested in hearing someone's opinion on this topic. School pupil: Any student below the age of 16 You will be Con -- against school uniforms. I'll start this off with a quick list as to why I believe uniforms are beneficial. 1. Creates a school identity/team spirit 2. Kids can focus less on fashion and trends, and more on education 3. Rich or poor, everyone is equal 4. Sets the pupils up for adult life; office jobs, uniformed work, dress codes etc. 5. Kids do not need to 'express themselves' through clothing; this is not appropriate in many jobs 6. Kids wandering out of school without permision can be easily identified and the school informed -- this prevents possible abductions and other incidents where the child can blend in without bring detected
