Is there a dress code for young people in high school who just want a part-time job when interviewing and then working? How about when they graduate from college et al goes for an interview? Do you believe in the new service requirements for high school graduation?
A dress code isn't the way the real world operates and a concern of all educators should be to prepare a student for the real world. Whether you accept it or not, school uniforms
diminish free expression in our youth at a time when young people are trying desperately to establish who they are as an individual. There's no shortage of collectivist thinkers in academia. They tend to go hand in hand these days. So something like the importance of individuality goes over your head. That is why your support as an educator for forced uniforms doesn't come as any surprise. For it is a stellar example of collectivism. Unfortunately collectivism produces followers not leaders. Pity you don't want to take the effort to nurture and encourage individuality for that is where leaders and innovators arise.
