Why should kids wear uniforms to school?

Answer 1

School uniforms raise the school image in the community ('posh' looking uniforms imply intelligence, or so they say, and also prevent kids from running wild because they need to take better care of more expensive uniforms).

School uniforms allow shopkeepers (and police) to identify students who should be at school by law. In the case of shopkeepers they may just refuse service to those who don't have permission to be in a shopping centre during school hours, like the shops near my old school did. It kept kids from bludging.

They also prevent kids from escalating the schoolyard harrassment issues by only allowing casual clothes on a few days of the year. If a kid whose parents only bought them cheaper, uglier clothing wore casual clothes every day to school, they would be insulted and rejected much, much worse than with their cheap uniform. Trust me, I speak from experience, and neither situation is desirable.

Remember that word's can't break bones, but they can sure as hell break a person's self-confidence and self-esteem for life. Don't ever let this happen to your kids. Ever.

ANSWER kids shouldn't wear uniforms because kids hate it and when we buy them uniforms they always get dirty and it's wasting our money because my little sister needs long sleeve shirt and they only sell long sleeve shirts for boys and that's not right, and just because 1 school was breaking the dress code doesn't mean that all the Dothan city schools has to wear uniforms!!!!

Answer 2

Because schools force them too. Most kids don't enjoy it.

Every school has a different reason. Some have a lot. Most school have it so everyone is more equal and don't make fun of each other's clothing.

Also, not every school forces the students to wear uniform.

That is a very interesting question. It is mainly in case the children get jealous of each other and in case they run around and catch this and that. It is also because the school might want the children to represent there school and get more students and more people come to the events especially good children because if they do something good like helping an old lady across the road then the old lady might think I'll send a thank you letter to the school!
