In the student essay, United Uniforms, the writer tries to persuade their audience to support the introduction of standardized uniforms for public schools in the United States.

The opposings say school uniforms cure violence and gang prone violence, prevents in-school bullying, and equalizes students, however there has been little evidence that they provide those or any benefits at all.

So under those circumstances, students can simply borrow a few uniforms for the year if they meet the requirements, then they can return them until next year. This helps the parents and their budget issues, since this could be possibly available to the parents they don’t have to pay unless they damage the uniform or lose it. Not only does uniforms prevent bullying, uniforms can also decrease chances on school shootings/attacks occurring. Uniforms allows the staff to see if there are any intruders because the intruder simply does not have the uniform, which guarantees more safety.…

"If it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require school uniforms"(Woolley). Former President Ronald Reagan said this in 1996 during his presidency. The issue of schools across The United States of America having mandated school uniforms has been on the rise, but the controversy over whether or not uniforms actually accomplish anything is far from over. School uniforms first originated in Baltimore, Maryland at Cherry Hill Elementary School in 1987, believing that it would lead to better students with better grades, attitude, behavior, and self-esteem (Brunsma). This idea that started less than thirty years ago is now increasing steadily.…

School uniforms should be required in school systems because they increase attendance, create a safer learning environment and resist peer pressure; that all play a role in benefiting ones academic achievement. School uniforms are not enforced as a punishment to students, but instead are benefiting them in ways they might not see.

Uniforms also create a safe environment for students to learn and not worry about gangs and violence because of administrators being able to pin point suspicious activity. An unsafe school environment could interfere efforts towards improvement in student achievement.…
Wearing the uniform is also brings safety for students. Students can avoid kidnapping. Nowadays, there are many kidnappers who want to take or hide children for getting their purposes such as getting money from their parents, revenge, or protest again their parents.

Witnesses will inform immediate to those schools or police so that students will be rescued without any harmfulness.…
Other elements that link truancy to the lack of a uniform are the pupils own perceptions of the learning environment, students can easily be distracted with one another’s clothing, so therefore as stated by ,The Understood Team, their report claims that unfocused students are more likely to skip class, thus the implementation of a uniform limits the distractions within the classroom, or as Janet Adkins says, “school uniforms help create a positive learning environment, because it removes distractions”. Finally, there is the issue of safety. If a pupil, or group of pupils are playing truant, then no one of authority knows where they are or what they doing, if said students are wearing the schools uniform then they are easier to distinguish and the correct people can be informed if the situation arose, non authorized persons on the schools premises is also addressed if all students are wearing the same uniform, California Legislative Information states that “Many serious crimes of violence are committed on school grounds by persons who are neither students nor school employees and who are not otherwise authorized to be present on school grounds, reports that…
Today students often care more about fashion than getting an education. For many years, people have been arguing about the idea of making school uniforms mandatory.

School uniforms should be required because it saves time and lot of money for the parents, reduces peer pressure and bullying, and helps prevent the use of inappropriate clothing in a formal institute.…
It’s a regular Wednesday at school where you’re striding through the hallway trying to get to class and along the way, you witness students having aggressive combative fight and you think, “Oh how typical!” To elaborate, if you read or catch sight of the news, you’ve probably viewed a multiple amount of school to the point where you notice gruesome and disturbing incidents of students stabbing, shooting which, leads to severe life threatening injuries and even, death. Momentarily, I strongly suggest that our school board should validate of instituting a school uniform policy in order to cut down these problems seeing how it’s not healthy to view violence as a typical scene in school. Moreover, the idea of school uniforms may create a substantial…
School Uniforms School uniforms have been a controversial subject on whether students should wear them or not. There are many ways students can be conservative for school other than wearing a uniform. Therefore, I don’t think uniforms are necessary. School uniforms should not be mandatory because students should be able to express themselves, you pay more for certain uniforms, and it can affect one’s self-image. Students should be able to express themselves and uniforms take away their originality.…
In Miami-Dade County Public Schools Office of Education Evaluation and Management stated that fights doubled when the uniform policy was enforced. I would have notice something on the news saying that when school uniforms became mandatory, those violent school attacks were up. As well as students grades drop due to their new clothing appearance at the school. A study would have been done for all schools that made the wear of uniforms mandatory. Students feel like if they had to wear school uniforms restrict students' freedom of expression.…
