  1. School Uniforms Today By: Anna Dawes

  2. All schools in the United States, both public and private, should require their students to wear uniforms. Thesis

  3. Promotes unity • Less expensive • Less distraction in the classroom Reasons why…

  4. Schools give their students limited choices of the uniforms that can be worn. • With limited uniform choices, students look professional and put together. • In 2009-2010, approximately 57 % of public school principals reported that their school enforced a strict dress code, an increase from 47 % in 1999–2000” (NCES). • Inner City schools example UNITY among all

  5. Research has shown that “keeping an only child properly dressed to age eighteen will cost an average total of $22,063, according to the USDA” (American FactFinder). • Argument that initial buying of uniforms is expensive • With uniforms, families can budget their money elsewhere. • Uniforms can easily be bought at stores like Target, Kohl’s, and discounted stores as well. Cost$ and benefit$

  6. My personal experience • Since there are only selective styles and colors that most schools let their students wear, more focus is put on school work and learning. • Elimination of “label competitions” - uniforms set the tone for a proper work attitude in the classroom, reduce behavior problems and improve student performance (Why School Uniforms 1). • Argument of INDIVIDUALITY Fewer distractionsin the classroom…

  7. In conclusion, I feel that schools in the United States would benefit much greater in academics and learning if there was a requirement for students to wear uniforms during school hours.
