Does Barack Obama want kids to wear uniforms at school?

Answer 1

President Obama has not taken a stand on this subject, since it is not really a national concern, but rather, it's a local decision, often made by school committees in a particular city or town. The president has expressed his belief that schools should have a curriculum that challenges students and inspires excellence, and he has expressed his views on what makes a school effective. But issues like uniforms are not something he has discussed.

Answer 2

He does not believe there should be a federal law about them, but he has agreed that they can be a good idea: there are studies that suggest uniforms promote a sense of order, pride, and discipline in a child's school. However, the president does not believe school uniforms are a magic answer to a schools' problems. he has said there are many factors to having a successful school, including involvement from parents-- he has said many times that parents need to mentor their children and encourage them to turn off their devices and Video Games and spend more time studying.

Answer 3

Yes. He endorsed school uniforms in January, 1996 - in his State of the Union address.
