Every argument that I have seen saying that teenagers should have uniforms can be disputed.
Equality despite money issues-one, if the student is poor, then they will only have one uniform, bad shoes, bad jackets, etc. Two, people are not characterized as equal or not no matter what clothes they wear. It's their personality that people pick on them for. A geek will always be a geek, and a jock will always be a jock.
It prevents students from bringing weapons to school: b.s. Anything can be a weapon. A pen, a pencil, hell, duct tape if you know how to make a point.
It will keep students out of gangs: where did you get this one? Ted Bundy, who was a very attractive man and appeared well dressed and groomed, was a serial killer. Clothes don't really matter.
Casual clothing makes students feel less open to learning: One, do students want to learn anyways? And two, students don't get many free dress days, so when they do have one, it's like a hay day.
