Should school uniforms be a definitely in schools?

I can deal with the issues on individuality and such. I can understand that it's to prevent people from dressing like whores. I also realize that they want us to look nice and uniforms are really the only way.

What I really can't stand about uniforms though, is that I have to freeze to death in the winter because of them . At my school we're on a campus. We're only allowed to wear the outerwear for the school. The jackets are around $65, then you can order sweaters, but they don't keep you very warm. So, I have to first spend a ton of money on the kilts, socks, shoes, and shirts. Then buy a $65 jacket or freeze to death! If you wear a jacket that isn't from the school you can get a detention for it. A detention for trying to keep warm.

Also, even with the jackets your legs are still cold. The girls are allowed to wear slacks, but they're really uncomfortable. So, for girls, we can wear normal sized socks, knee socks, or tights. The tights bunch up your skirt and make walking uncomfortable. The knee socks don't keep your knees or thighs warm. As for the normal socks, nothing stays warm.

Not to mention we have no heat in the high school building. Since we can't afford to fix the heater we get these little things that keep 1/4 of the class warm. Except they make a lot of noise, so they don't get turned on!

They're pretty impractical when I already own stuff to keep warm that I'm not allowed to wear.
