School Uniforms

The introduction of school uniforms in the public school system would make a positive change for the students and the entire school. A common argument today is whether uniforms should be introduced to the public school system. I agree for many different reasons. The main reasons for having uniforms are that it would prevent bullying, create more school pride, and make school a better learning environment.

An important reason for uniforms is that it would prevent bullying in school. There are a number of students around the country who are fearful of going to school every day because of being bullied. Just because they don't wear the latest fashions, they are insulted constantly. In a lot of public schools, in order to be considered popular, it is important to wear the latest clothing styles. A way to fix this ranking of students by their clothes is school uniforms. If uniforms were worn in public schools, students wouldn't have to worry about the newest clothes or what they wore at all. They wouldn't be able to be picked on because everyone else would be wearing the same thing. Students would look at each other as equals and not bully less fortunate students.

Another reason that uniforms would be beneficial is that they would create more school pride displayed by more students. In public schools, it is hard to find school pride in every group of students. There are always the groups of kids in public schools that spend their nights at home, or other places, not at the sporting events. Many don't even wear clothes that have anything about their school on them. This is just another thing that uniforms could fix. Wearing uniforms would make kids feel united. It would make them feel like it is their responsibility
