[b]No, the kids should not vote. I am against this increasing empowerment of kids in areas which do not pertain to them.[/b] I do not let my 11-year-old kid choose his diet (otherwise it would be all muffins, chicken nuggets& mayonnaise and coke -- despite the fact he's fully aware of what junk food is) .

Uniforms are desirable for aspects that kids do not fully understand: school is a place for learning and not for showing-off, school is an environment where you do not want kids clothing to reflect SES status, kids should not be the target of cunning marketing strategies by clothing firms, etc. [/quote]

+1  Children are not miniature adults.  There are a lot of things that society allows adults to do, which we frown upon among children: drinking, voting, driving, smoking, sex, etc.  Private and parochial schools have been perfecting high academic and behavioral standards for a lot longer than public schools have.  This is an example of a tactic which has been proven to be effective in that regard.[/quote]
