should schools make it mandatory for students to wear uniforms during school time.

Intro: I age with many people that wearing what I want is great, but wearing uniforms is only in school also the benefits of school uniforms are numerous, and many schools nationwide have adopted a uniform policy in public, private and parochial settings. Not only do school uniforms help reduce the cost of a growing child's school wardrobe, but uniforms assist with discipline and behavioral issues. cont 1: School uniforms ensure people don't label others What I am saying is that with school uniforms kids will open up to each other. What I mean is that in school lets say a kid dressed in preppy clothes sees a kid with ragged like clothing or Goth clothes, he will not interact with him or make fun of him. IF all kids have uniforms they will get engaged with each other and not label them in a group. Another example is when you see kids sag their pants or whatever you assume their dumb ghetto kids which isn't' always true. Uniforms ensure kids are not labeled and ensure a higher unity amount the kids in the school. cont 2: benefits of uniforms "Preventing gang colors, etc. in schools "Decreasing violence and theft because of clothing and shoes "Instilling discipline among students "Reducing need for administrators and teachers to be 'clothes police' (for example, determining whether shorts are too short, etc.) "Reducing distractions for students http://712educators.about.com... Conclusion: As you can see uniforms have many benefits that are worth considering. I admit I like my own clothing but it would also be real nic eto have a school environment where people are treated more equally due to same outfits Response: My opponent's full main argument is that kids are limited in creativity they can express in clothes, is true but again it is only in school and they are not limited in the creativity they can exrpress in the mind. Also benefits of school uniforms outweigh the cost.c
