Should we, as students in a public school, have to wear uniforms? I think the answer is obvious. Of course we should. Many hours have been wasted on trying to inform disinterested kids that you can't have spaghetti straps, or have your pants pulled down to your knees. Obviously they don't care what adults have to say. It has always been a problem in the past, and will be in the future. Rips in the jeans, inappropriate t-shirts, and too low cut shirts are all problems that require the student in question to change their attire, or go home. This is a waste of resources, both on the schools part and the students. Whether it's on purpose, or an accident, these students, many who are repeat offenders, will continue to break the dress code and wear these restricted clothing articles. If we only required students to wear uniforms, this problem would be solved. Although there may be, and most likely will be, those who still break the dress code, there would be no question of what was wrong and what was right.
And what about all of the time teens waste on trying to pick out an outfit? No longer a problem. And no longer would students have to worry about being bullied or picked on for what they wear. Everyone wears the same thing, every day. Many armies throughout history have used uniforms to great affect. Nothing looks better than a group on people with the same uniforms on. It would also give the school a sense of pride and honor. Sport teams wear uniforms every match and every practice, this is not only to identify the players of the specific teams, but also to give a sense of team to the players.
Regardless of what a school does, uniforms or no uniforms, it has been proven time and again that uniforms are a good thing to have. Eliminating the many problems that are caused by being a teen in today's America is just another bonus.
