Well reading trough all the replies, there are some good points in favour of uniforms and some good against.

I do agree that schools should be able to ban inapropiate dressing but thats about it. Personally I haven't seen much kids dress like that and I've been to quite a few schools..

And then there is the thing that some kids won't be able to afford expensive clothes. True. However with or without everyone wearing the same clothes, bullying will not stop or become less. So this, seeming to be the biggest reason why kids should wear uniforms, to me is not a good reason to wear uniforms.

I guess it is also depends on what u are used to. In some areas almost all schools have uniforms and you wont even think about it. Where I live not one school has uniforms. So to about everyone in The Netherlands it would be a big deal! Thinking protestwalks, collecting signatures against it etc. Either way I don't think uniforms solve the problem.
