When it comes to school.... no. I don't like it. When it comes to places of business, yes like it was stated, it develops a feeling of professionalism. But in school it takes away the ability to express yourself. Sure, you don't have to worry about what to wear or about being picked on for wearing the "wrong" clothes, but kids need to be taught not to worry about what others think. I certainly don't. And I'm in highschool. If everyone didn't care about appearances, there would be a lot less stress in this world...
