The importance of school can never be ruled out, it's a necessity.
In my country schools are different from other countries' schools. We don't wear uniforms. i think it is not good. School would be more attractive if children had uniforms.
Uniform would contribute in bringing harmony among students and making the school ground a fair place for everyone but it's also fun where there's not. There plus and minus for both policies anyway.
I'm sorry about not having good class mates , you sure must have miss some fun part as well.
