Looking back, as someone who was in High School in the early 70's, I think uniforms would have been a great idea. You aren't in school for "self expression" - you are in school to get an education. I think students would moan and complain for a couple of weeks and then they'd get over it.

My only hesitation is that the people on the selection committee would select something really goofy. Perhaps at the high-school level, they could have the students vote on the design.

Cataholic - I know what you mean sometimes - my life was much simpler when I worked at a grocery store - white shirt, dark pants - I shopped at Goodwill and was able to spend my money putting myself through college.
