uniforms would only be one element of improving today's public education system. So yes, it won't fix everything. However, it will help improve some situations. Clothes do create some solidarity and they allow the kids to focus less on style at school. Also, wearing certain clothes and uniforms do have an effect on how people perceive themselves.
I speak from experience. Two years NJROTC in high school (uniforms twice a week). Two years military boarding school. Five years military college. Uniforms work and they do make people more equal.
