Arguement for the Use of Uniforms in Schools

Determining what to wear to school is difficult for the majority of middle and high schoolers. Wouldn't it be simpler to just have a set outfit planned for each and every day?

The only alternative to mend this situation would be to enforce school uniforms. Not only would this decrease dress code violations, it would lessen discipline referrals, improve students' self esteems,

For quite some time now there has been an ongoing discussion about students wearing school uniforms in public schools. Is students in the public-school system play a major role on them academically? Is making the students wear uniforms unfair or does it show equality? What image does it set for the schools that do have a uniform policy?

Imagine this: Money being put in the hands of people instead of their necessities, teachers stopping kids in hallways, covering up the issue instead of eliminating it, and kids being forced to hide who they are, to make another kid unprepared. Because it makes our wallets slimmer, wastes the time of students and teachers, hides the issue instead of taking care of it, and forces kids to no longer feel accepted to be themselves, uniforms should only be worn in private schools.

I then realized that disagreeing was not going to work for me; therefore I needed to think of something else. As a result, I used critical thinking by making a list and thinking of positive and negative outcomes uniforms provided.
