I believe that it does uniform-wise. Using uniforms does help with the school to limit out who is supposed to be there or not, but the thing is, everyone is the same. Schools are setting us up for being factory workers, making us sit in straight rows and stand in lines. Making us do this and that, when in reality none of us want to be some silly factory worker. We want to be artists, scientists, actors, etc. There are clubs for that but it is limited to how good people are or how well they do in something. Back to the clothing, what about people who want to be designers one day? Aren't they going to want to practice what they love? They can't even show what they want to show because of school! Oh well, that's just how it is.

Forcefully is the correct answer
