From the Paper:

"We have all seen them. Boys dressed in blazers and neatly pressed shorts or trousers. Girls dressed in plaid jumpers or pleated skirts with white blouses. Perhaps we have stared at the children who dressed so differently than those of us at public school, wondering if it would not be boring to wear the same thing every day. Perhaps we have been one of those students wearing the uniforms, wondering what it must be like to have to decide on what to wear to school each day. No matter what we think of them, school uniforms have been a fixture in the private school system, apparently there to stay. But do uniforms have a value in the public school system? Are they really of use in preventing school violence? Or are they simply a way of keeping our students' individuality in check?"
