School uniforms are generally associated with high-cost schools. 21 states have now passed policies requiring schools to wear uniforms. School uniforms should be worn in schools because it identifies student with school, prevents gang communications, and takes less time for students to get ready in the mornings. Uniforms identifies student with school because students are to wear school uniforms when attending school, representing the school, or when participating in a school- organized event. They promote a sense of pride in the school. On the other hand, uniforms do not teach children how to deal with people that are different then themselves. Kids need to be taught to be open to all sorts of people. Student safety is a top priority for all school district leaders. School uniforms remove some of the causes of gang activity, crime, and violence within schools. Uniforms help prevent gang communication because it helps reaffirm the districts position that gang activity will not be tolerated in schools or in the community. However, students will find ways to separate themselves into groups, and no amount of clothing will stop that from happening. It isn’t the clothes that cause it, but the clothes are just one method of expressing it. Uniforms will improve self-esteem in the students because they will not feel pressured to dress a certain way.Poor students wouldn’t feel excluded because they were not wearing name brand clothing like the rich kids.Parents will no longer have to spend a fortune on school clothes. Although some people think uniforms can decrease the students comfort level and attentiveness while attending lessons. I believe that uniforms will improve students’ individuality because they will have to express themselves through their personality and attitude. I believe school uniforms should be worn in all schools. Wearing uniforms is a minor change but one that needs to be made. This has been a reoccuring issue in many schools. They help identify student with school, prevents gang communications, also improves students’ self esteem.
