Puclic Schools Should Require Uniforms

Over time the uniforms would indeed help save money for parents and prove to be lucrative for schools. Over time. Nothing can happen overnight. When kids can get away with wearing the same uniforms for upwards of three years, parents won't have to buy them school clothes. Yes, they'll still have to buy them some regular, expensive clothes, but not as much as they would if the schools permitted students to wear their own clothes. There will of course be an initial price the school must have to pay, but the same can be said for any investment. The uniforms would be an investment that would over time prove to be lucrative. The struggling parents would have to buy their children clothes either way. These uniforms would take care of clothing five days out of the week. Parents are going to have to spend a plethora of money of their children's attire no matter what, but school uniforms would help reduce this cost, for parents wouldn't have to be fishing for money as their children pick of the latest trend of expensive Ugg boots. Children are by nature expressive creatures. Think about how many jobs require a set of standards one can dress by – it's almost the same thing. Men will wear suits. Women will wear dress pants, skirts, etc. There isn't much room for expressing oneself in the future, either. Catholic schools almost always require uniforms, and there have never been reports of those students being less able to make decisions or simply being followers. In fact, maybe uniforms are part of the reason why catholic schools tend to encompass students with higher scores. Children are expressive, no matter what, they can and will be able to find ways to express themselves. There is also a constitutional right of free speech, but that doesn't mean students can run around threatening and cursing off faculty, would you also say that breeches free speech? There will always be repercussions. Because these schools are run by the government, there are limits to what can be allowed and what is appropriate. Nowadays, children are subject to bullying in so many ways (i.e, in person and through the computer). Children are ruthless. Requiring school uniforms can help cut these tragic bullying numbers down for children won't be able to make fun of one another for what they're wearing. It may seem silly, but children can be incredibly sensitive and bullying about their attire can really affect them even later in life. If everyone is wearing the same thing, no one can be bullied for what they wear. Children also won't have to fear being left out because their parents can't afford to shell out hundreds on the newest fashion craze every other month. They won't be teased for wearing out of style clothing as readily as they would if regular clothing was permitted. School uniforms in public schools would help keep students safe.
