taxes don't pay for private institutions (at least not in Michigan, we don't have vouchers--yet) 
just thought I'd throw that out there, but good point--both of you.
Oh and faygo, I didn't mean to jump on you so harshley, I just needed to vent because so many people lately (not here, but in my hometown) have said ignorant or not well thought out things and not thought one second about what they are saying before it comes out of there mouth.

wear a uniform to school? HA! never happen with me, unless it was a pair of OD green combat pants so I could work on the schools irrigation system during lunch. yep, OD green pants combat boots, and an ALICE pack, thats what I had for high school. now this was a public school too, and all the teachers and admins knew me pretty well too, so I never really had much trouble with any of them.
Trying to get students in ANY public school to wear a standard uniform is a total waste of time, they'll dress how they want, and do what they want. I know I did. of course some of the students idea of "good taste" is pretty bad.

I went to a school that had uniforms for a year when I lived in New Zealand. The schools I went to here in the states didn't have any restrictions, really, just that "Outfits may not cause a distraction or detract from the learning enviroment". Hats were allowed, as were coats (Damn right coats were, they refused to turn the heat any higher then 60f in most of the school, I swear), and there were no restrictions on hair or anything. Which was a good thing, for most of high school I had my hair in big spikes, or dyed various weird colors.

I'm kinda like how you were, mabey.
I consider myself quiet, inpersonal, and stealthy.
I found who keyed my truck (anyone who follows my threads knows i want happy)... I'm waiting. Paciently, and quietly, but once the moment strikes, They'll know it
Uniforms would be an improvement to our school...
Less thug/goth wear...
Blue jeans, t-shirts... Sweet

as far as preparing them for the real world, i don't think much preparation is required for uniform stuff, someone should have the common sense by the time they get out school, let kids be kids a little, the world isn't that dang bad.
the solution is not a uniform but just a dress code, i.e., no offensive languages, keep pants up, no hats etc etc....
i think polo shirts are the most ridiculous looking thing, where do they even get that design from? i call it the american uniform, everyone wears one with a little hanes shirt under when they feel they need to "dress up" along with some cheap slacks.
i still think schools need to return to concentrating on learning and not being a dang social program, thats what parents are for, don't worry GOV, i am capable of teaching my kids a few things also.
