Individuality is seriously overrated.

I wore a unif-form and I t-turned out g-great... :blink:

No, but seriously, if kids relly on their clothes to express individuality, the free speech, art and music aren't working hard enough. I mean, seriously, does it really matter? When I wanted to express my individuality as a child, I wrote music and joined the Communist Youth. Letting kids be individuals based on how they dress is just going to make them lazy.

The school uniform I had was (by British standards) pretty much the embodiment of "posh schoolkid" status, with shield logo and grey trousers.
Still, there's no difference between students having a uniform and NHS workers, ambulance-drivers etc. - sort of an indicator of status in society (no, not that kind of status... the other kind, i.e. group you work for)

I have multiple puppets here; only a select few are used to represent the continent of Astholm; others used represent Westholme, and do not artificially boost my nation's statistics.Previously i used puppets with nation names that did not identify as Astholm (e.g. Australis Australia; now all new puppets use ASTHLM, NORTHLM, SOUTHLM, WESTHLM (HLM denoting The Holmes.
NOTE: Other uses of Astholm here have a different continuity and refer to work created by the user Astholm, not the nation

If it generates debate again, it is no longer a grave dig. Either that or the mods are just lazy when that happens.

They're lazy anyway. The only issue I see in this respect with regards to uniforms is a depletion of mufti stock, as it were, for the child. This is more an issue for the less, er, advantaged.

Zombies in school girl uniforms...
