These days I've been wondering if uniform dress codes would not to good here in California. When the bell rings and they get home the uniform comes off and they can dress however they want. The part I don't agree with is the hair part. That is something that grows out of your own body and it takes years to earn. I find it too oppressive and controllive to have hair-length regulations in the school uniform/dress code. When I was at secondary, then high school, our dress codes did not include uniforms or hair-length requirements. They seemed more worried about obscene/profane/offensive messages on clothing, etc. In other words, they had the Puritan poll shoved. They also banned spikes, etc.
I don't know about Britain, but I can see how here, a dress code that required uniforms would have avoided alot of unnecessary problems and would be more conducive to the functioning of a scholastic environment by eliminating distraction.
That's what I have to say about it, anyway.
