Uniforms require the entire student body to become monotonous in terms of appearance. This may be beneficial in that it may help squash any animosity or hatred associated to appearance. A sense of equality is spread throughout the entire class, thus bringing everyone in a figurative horizontal line socially. No one person is better than the other in terms of how they look. Unfortunately, this obvious manditory conformity can most definitely cause problems from the inside-out. Once you leave the confidings of your private school, a sense of freedom rushes you and it can be overwhelming most of the time. I dyed my hair blue about a month after I got out. Of course, that would be strictly forbidden at the private school I attended. But the new sense of liberty drives people to do things they wouldn't normally do. Many of my former friends got involved in drugs and other illegal activities as a result.
A point your opponent may make is that private schools do not prepare any student appropriately for the real world; i.e., they are encompassed in a world of uniformity, cleanliness, and obedience. However, we all know that the real world is not like this in the least bit - maybe some corners that I have yet to discover. You may rebuttle this by explainin that public schools drop students into the real world before they are able to handle it. If placed into a functioning society on their own at an older age with more education, it is assumed that they will obviously have an easier time acclamating themselves to their situation. However, too early of exposure may lead to a "sink or swim" effect, where either the subject fails at becoming a functioning member of society, or they succeed. Private school is a safer bet in that sense.
I'm not sure what else to say about this. Really, I could talk for hours; but I'm not sure if that would be relevant to your debate. I really hope that huge chunk of information and opinion helps you in your debate. Feel free to use me as an example if you wish. I give you permission.
