School Uniforms


In the past, only students in private and religious schools wore uniforms to school. Today, many states are changing. Many public schools require students to wear uniforms to school. Some people like uniforms, but others don’t.

There are many reasons to have school uniforms. One reason is to decrease theft. In some schools, people steal expensive clothing. Students do not think about their expensive sneakers when they wear uniforms. A second reason is discipline. Principals and teachers think students pay better attention when they wear uniforms. A third reason is safety. A security guard can easily see a stranger in the school. Another reason is for school spirit. When all of the students are wearing uniforms, the students feel part of a group. Finally, for students who don’t have much money, uniforms are cheap.

Many students don’t like school uniforms. They want to decide what to wear to school.

Do students wear uniforms to school in your country? Do your children wear uniforms to school here in Chicago? Do you think uniforms are a good idea? Why or why not?

First because is discipline.Second reason is safety. students don't talk about another student who don't have a good clothe or a good sneakers, for students who don't have a lot of money.

Well in my country every student uses uniforms... but the thing is that ALL the public schools wear the same color (navy blue pants, white dress shirt) and trilingual schools (private) wear their own uniform different from each other. I think uniforms are good because many students may only focus on what to wear (if it does combines, if its designer cloth etc...) if the opportunity of wearing normal cloth is given
