Landon Stewart Mrs. Luker Government A4 10/23/12 Cons of School Uniforms There are many schools in the U.S. that require their students to wear uniforms, and there are more that don't. I believe that school uniforms should not be required for a few reasons. Uniforms take away from a person's individual identity and freedom to express himself or herself. They can be costly to people depending on a family’s financial status. School uniforms can also be a very uncomfortable fashion that students would not take a liking to.
Student Uniforms Many school districts have made uniforms an important part of an overall program to improve education, safety, and discipline. Quality education is critical to the future of America’s children. However, we cannot educate our children in schools where weapons, gang violence, and drugs, threaten their safety. In this essay I will look at both sides of the issue and show why school uniforms are important in public schools. I will also look at how implementing uniforms affect violence and educational concentration.
Why Students Should Wear Uniforms in Public Schools Many students believe that school uniforms should not be introduced, because of the limitation of their freedom. I believe that introducing a uniform to the school would decrease the diversity between each student, and it will be the solution for many problems. Taking this issue in to consideration, I wish to explain the benefits/ advantages of wearing a uniform to school. I personally think that a dress code enforces discipline in learning by changing a person’s attitude toward success. Students generally act the way they are dressed.
Huss also believes uniforms will decrease the discipline problems. Moving on to my second point, uniforms make the school more secure. Should all the students wear their own clothes, it would be much easier for a terrorist, to enter the school. If the whole school wears different clothes, sneaking

Many critics rebuttal that uniforms “infringe on student’s First Amendment right of free expression” (Kelly). Although the use of uniforms might take away some of a student’s freedom of picking what new outfit to wear every morning, to exercise the use of uniforms in a school environment gives the students more time to focus on their homework after school rather than
I think if all school has uniforms system than students will more focus on study not on fashion. Everyone have their own points of view. For example, as it mentions on article that some believe on students can wear whatever they want because they believe that will help them to get some information. Also they can easily communicate with the other students. I think in some points dress code is the best way not to discrimination between poor and rich.
With teachers now carrying weapons on campus the disgruntled students would be less likely to try to bring a weapon of their own to school. Mentally disturbed former students and previous employees would be more hesitant to try anything as well. It would even allow a quicker response to any incident that would occur, instead of having to wait for emergency personnel. A teacher who tries to do something would be rapidly subdued preventing a more serious problem.
In addition, some school heads believe that school uniforms vanishes social, economic and class divisions and inculcate a sense of pride in students(McCarthy, Lisa). A way bullying can be minimized is by enforcing the use of school uniforms. This way all students are wearing the same clothing, leaving no room for judgment. A large fraction of class time is
Having a mandatory uniform limits teenager’s creativity and their expressive side. Lastly, the uniform can be harmful to schools image because some schools may have nicer uniforms than others causing other schools to envy them and not feel equal and uniforms are all about making everyone equal. Students will most likely be in their uniforms after school hours. If some students are caught up in bad behavior it can make the school look bad and gain a reputation. Also, when students don't agree with the uniform they wear many of them alter
“Forcing students to wear school uniforms only aggravates their rebellious spirit.” More fights will start over pointless school uniforms. If everyone is dressed the same, and basically looks the same. Making students wear uniforms takes away student’s individuality and this want let them explore themselves to really see what they are. “Schools are now making students wear khakis and a shirt”.
