There is less domestic violence (School Uniforms) and the selected apparel helps to keep gang member colors and clothing from entering the schools (School Uniforms). It is easier to tell when there is an intruder in the school, which means the school get help faster (School Uniforms). Another reason to have uniforms is for when the school goes on a fieldtrip, the teachers can keep the students together easier so that nobody can wander off (School Uniforms). Statistics have shown that there is less bullying too since nobody can judge one another’s clothing (Dress for Success). School uniforms provide a sense of safety which leads to less…
School uniforms will help lighten any stress on students to fit into a certain group. There will be no competition in keeping up with today’s trends and fashion. The concept of school uniforms will help with the safety in schools, decrease the disciplinary issues facing schools, help to promote a positive school climate, and also place the focus of schools back on professionalism and excellence in education.

When students wear uniforms in schools there are positive effects on safety and it raises the esteem of the educational surroundings. Dressing alike in schools deters the wearing of certain colors that can be interpreted as gang colors. Being allowed to wear baggy pants in schools makes it easy to carry weapons onto school grounds. School “uniforms are attributed to decreasing behavior problems by: increasing attendance, lowering suspension rates, and decreasing substance abuse among students” (Gurskey, 1996, p. 46). Students have an increase in spirit, self-esteem, and a feeling of being a part of a group when uniforms are worn in schools (Thomas et al, 1992, 1994). School uniforms will help lighten any stress on students to fit into a certain group. There will be no competition with fashion and everyone will feel equal.…

Uniforms would create a more unified environment. Students would not be able to wear clothing that may offend other cultures, religions or people. Instead, students would have to wear the same thing which may give the children a sense of acceptance. Also, uniforms could solve the problem of judging people based on their clothing instead of their personality. Many students that go to a non-uniform school belong to cliques and those are generally based on popularity which is a concept of how rich or poor someone is.…
Uniforms would help the students lose the thought of competition or peer pressure. A lot of people believe that they need to be the most popular person in the school. That leads to a competition between other students for stupid ideas like, who dresses better? People actually skip school to avoid embarrassment about their clothing. Students would gain self-esteem from school uniforms because they would not have to participate in the “school fashion show.” Dressing alike makes the students learn that it doesn’t matter what is on the outside but what is in the inside.…
The way People look and dress have become a big part in the society we have today. People are being categorized and placed because of things as little as clothing. Uniforms would move things in a more positive direction.The Decision to enforce uniforms at Prosper ISD would be wise because it would decrease peer bullying, increase student academics, and limit distractions.…
Not very many schools around the United States make their students wear uniforms. According to the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, during the 2013-14 school year only fifteen percent of schools required their students to wear uniforms. Some people believe that the use of uniforms will help decrease the amount of bullying and crime in schools. They also believe that by wearing uniforms, students will focus more on their school work instead of their clothes. On the other hand, I believe that the use of school uniforms limits a student's freedom to express themselves. Also, I believe school uniforms don’t help the amount of bullying, it could even make it worse if someone can’t afford a uniform. Lastly,…
Families would save an unbelievable amount of money from school uniforms. Students wouldn't have to worry about buying the newest, hippest clothes which cost a fortune. That would save families hundreds of dollars. Sure, kids would still need clothes other than their uniform, but not as many. Families would also be more time efficient with uniforms. One example of this would be a smaller laundry load. In addition, you wouldn't need to worry about rushing to get something washed for the next day because you already know what you will be wearing.…
First of all, the reason why I think school uniforms would help is because it can deter crime and increase safety. One way it would deter crime is by being able to identify the person causing trouble by their uniform. The reason they would be able to identify them is by their uniform showing where they go to school. Another way it would help increase the safety on campus. It would help easily identify the people that are not supposed to be there by teachers and administration. There are proven statistics…
Imagine turning on the news and not seeing a new story about school violence. Imagine not watching a breaking news about an intruder breaking into a school and shooting innocent students. Imagine not having to worry about what to wear each day to school. All of these things could quite possibly happen if school uniforms were to be enforced. Although some do not think requiring uniforms can solve this problem, school uniforms can be beneficial in many ways. All public schools should require their students to wear uniforms.…
Uniforms will give a sense that everyone is equal and prevent bullying. By having uniforms, students will never feel left out because of their style and what they wear. Everyone in High School is peer pressured to follow the newest styles and buy brand names in order to fit in with everyone else. This can be very pricey and not all parents are able to afford the latest fashion and brand names. When everyone is wearing the same uniform no one will feel left out because of the way they dress or their income level. I went to a uniformed school before, and it was great. All the students looked the same and were treated the same, uniforms will also represent school unity. Its better for SWL to have a uniform so that students can concentrate on learning instead of what everyone else is wearing on a daily basis.…
School uniforms, are they a burden to families in the United States, or are they preventing students form the hardships of being bullied? In a case of a low income family, uniforms are a better choice. Uniforms not only keep a school in order and prevent provocative clothing, but hide a student’s backgrounds from being manipulated by everyday bullies. School uniforms should be enforced in several schools because they teach students professionalism, will encourage teamwork and success in school, and prevent sexual harassment in schools and at home.…
Everyday, school teachers and administrators try to enforce certain rules and regulations on the student body. As if it isn't hard enough for these teachers to go about their lectures and curriculum, but having to deal with defiant students is another issue. If uniforms were enforced, the stress level of teachers and even students would remain very low. Teachers would not have to worry about students being out of dress code and students would not have to worry about their image giving them more confidence. In 2007 a school district in Napa, California stated that they would soon be implementing school uniforms in the district. For the simple fact of uniforms being easier to keep up with rather than a dress code.…
Schools should require students to wear uniforms because it would make schools safer and more secure. Uniforms can cause a decrease in theft and violence among the student body. With regular clothes, there are a lot of name brands and expensive designs that not all students can afford. So a student who doesn’t have the money to pay for those fancy clothes might feel the need to steal them so that he could fit in, therefore causing the theft rate to rise. Uniforms would help solve this problem because everyone would have the same wardrobe so there wouldn’t be anything to steal that they don’t already own. Uniforms can help to prevent gangs presence in schools so that gangs wouldn’t be able to distinguish their enemies in school or keep their group identities. Uniforms takes the obvious signs of gang membership away; such as bandana’s, colors, and other gang images. This gives students who are not part of gangs less visibility. There wouldn’t be fights between rival gangs in schools because there would be no visual “tag” to set them apart therefore lowering the violence levels in school. Lastly, uniforms make schools safer because they can help stop intruders from getting into a school and causing damage. Uniforms would make it harder for trespassers to sneak into schools because you could…
