School Uniforms Will Lead to more Sucessful Students
While research on the effectiveness of uniforms is still ongoing, they have been proven to raise test scores, boost self-esteem, reduce violence and crime, and create a sense of newfound pride in students. They help children to focus on learning and schoolwork, not on what everyone else is wearing or whether or not they fit in. Uniforms are not the solution to all of the problems that teens, teachers, and schools face today, but it is a step in the right direction. Uniforms is a cheaper alternative for struggling families and can help improve the behavior and risk of peer pressure of students. Schools can work with companies like Wal Mart or JC Penny to make uniforms and usually receive a bulk or school discount. Uniforms are customized by the administration and can input the school colors making for the increase in school pride. In the midst of losing one self expression, the students have the right to accessorize with uniforms.
