    Teens and kids should wear school uniforms

    In reply to your previous pints made in the last round: 1. Do you have a source for this? I am just curious because the source I had listed the opposite; that clothing had no effect on behavior or academics. Also from my own personal experience, if there is any focus on fashion at all, it happens in the halls or outside of the classroom, rather then when the students are trying to learn. 2. It may make mornings easier, but unless a kid has a separate uniform for every day of the week, then it will be a hassle having to wash two or three pairs of clothing repeatedly. 3. It may be avoided partially, but staff often has to monitor students even more closely due to them having a strict dress code, and any students not dressing in an exact way will be written up. In my experience of going to both a school where a uniform was required, and when I went to one without, I saw way more students being written up for getting their uniform wrong, then when I went to a non-uniform school. 4. Where is the source for many experts? 5. This point is not valid because just as many normal clothes are required for Also from my own personal experience, if there is any focus on fashion at all, it happens in the halls or outside of the classroom, rather then when the students are trying to learn. 2.

Where is the source for many experts? 5. This point is not valid because just as many normal clothes are required for school, as uniforms would be, so you would not actually be buying fewer clothes. Also uniforms often end up being a lot more pricey than normal clothing. People don't often find uniforms at goodwill or any cheap store like they can with clothing. This makes it an issue for lower income families. 6. This point requires your premise no. 5 to be true, which it is not.
