I know that it amounts to being preparation for the workforce to a certain degree. I just think that justifying forced conformity based on that reasoning is somewhat foolhardy. There is a difference. I could be complete ass to any of my high school teachers and as long as i did it in the right tone of voice i was untouchable. You can already get away with so much in school that you could never get away with at a job. The two things really don't compare when it comes to certain things. Anyone with half a brain knows that most workplaces won't allow you to have blue mohawk. This is common sense in america. We all learn by inferrence that conformity is one of the most important parts of being a social being long before we get through elementary school. I know that i have to take out my earrings if i want a better chance of having a successful job interview, despite the fact that my school allowed me to wear them. Seriously, how is letting someone in elementary school or high school look different going to effect their job prospects at all?
