We have a full length mirror in the lobby that has a sign next to it that says:

I agree with you here but the wear of uniforms must also be implemented as part of an entire program uniforms alone I feel do not instill discipline.
Many people seem to forget that there a some very non professional organisations that wear a manner of uniform street gangs I see a uniform as way of showing that you belong to a group be it a school,an agency,the military,an institution(prison) not necessarily a sign of professionalism.
I think that grade schools should have something similar to a roll call in the military each morning ( done in the military at the start of each shift) one of the purpose of a roll call is to establish
discipline and command it establishes order and respect it is also a time to announce important information.In some nations like Japan they do this at school they also sing a song as a group before beginning class this is all done in one gathering not over an PA system.
Schooling should prepare a student with the fundamentals to allow them to be a productive member of society I think most American schools fail at this goal.
