I agree that uniforms do have an effect on the mindset of people at school. I am not really sure how to explain it, but people seem less violent when they are all dressed the same in simple, plain clothes.

On the subject of punishment, I myself have recently seen the same three people in one of my classes blatently lie to the teacher about where they have been if they were late, they swear in the back of class non-stop, and one of them even pulls out his scrotum, fools around with it on the surface of his desk, and has people look at it by saying it is gum that was stuck there. They have all been given detention, and eventually suspended, but they would continue these behaviors. Maybe they NEEDED to be smacked a few times when they were younger, but they are rich brats, and they have NEVER been reprimanded.

It all falls back on the parents eventually. It is the PARENTS job, not the teachers, to discipline their children. Poor parenting only leads to nasty kids.
