It also helps kids who can afford the cool name brand shirt feel better because they are dressed just like everyone else.
That's one reason why I wouldn't be extremely mad if my public school would have to wear uniforms. But I just wouldn't like the idea of a strict dress code. I mean what if someone didn't have any jeans without holes in them?
