All across the world many private and public schools implement the use of uniforms. Some psychologist who say that the use of uniforms is a good tradition and a necessary tool, in order to maintain discipline and order of students in the educational institution, others say that it is a violation of the individuality of each kid and that the use is an that its utilization is an outdated habit (Wilde, 2016). There are many different opinions and points of view that support or counter argue this.

On the other hand, I believe that when clothes, no matter what society says, do describe who you are and how you are feeling. I believe that everyone should be allowed to dress how they want, but I do agree that the use of uniforms can help a school be a more serious place and can help students get through their high school years with less pressure of impressing their other class mates.
