This is up there with school uniforms as bad ideas.
What's wrong with school uniforms?
There's nothing individualistic about what adolescents wear.
The adolescents think there is, and self-perception is important at that age. (N.B. I've never felt and still don't feel obliged to strong opinion on school uniforms as such.)
I'd make the argument that uniforms place less burden on the poor. Eliminates designer labels, allows for Two or three school uniforms to be used by a student, and often times they are cheaper and have assistance programs
Not to mention they erase overt class differences.
