I don't think schools have the authority to enforce the level of control required for uniforms to be effective though (and I really don't think the teachers and administrators would go for it, either). I also think the half-assed attempts they can make do more harm than good. I'm also not too sure if the "faceless cog" mindset that makes uniforms work is something I want being taught anyway.

I agree wholeheartedly. For uniforms to be effective, ALL uniforms have to be, well, uniform. You cant have people walking around in cloths from goodwill while others are wearing $400 suites and say everyone is equal. It only puts more uneeded attention to cloths since suddenly the admin are paying more attention to what people are wearing rather than what they are learning. To be effective they'd have to spend way too much attention and investment that it simply isnt worth it. Remember by the time people are upper-classmen they're supposed to be adults afterall.
