Teen #1 (in "cool" garb): Yo, dude, what's with the school uniform?
Teen #2: It's a self-esteem thing...when every student wears the same thing, there aren't any class differences, everyone takes pride in their appearance free of the dictates of fashion, which allows us to excel in our studies!
Teen #1: It also indicates that you attend school in the slums.
Teen #2: And it helps the cops know who to arrest! _____________________________
Actually, the elite private schools use uniforms too.
