"Fashion yes, but at what cost...with so much peer pressure to stand out, uniforms could be one way to de-emphasize the demands of buying costly outfits and enable kids to concentrate more on education rather than what Jenny is wearing today."

By the way, many of the 'name bran' that inner city folks buy for their kids, are not what they appear to be. If you get my drift.
