School Uniforms; Good Or Bad?

            Most students would always like to be free of rules and regulations. They want to go up with the fashions. There are some students who face certain problems to stay up-to-date with latest fashion. However, it doesn’t affect the majority of students. School uniforms are raising up as a big question in front students' parents and school administration. There are some people against school uniforms but most of the community responds in very positive manner.
            There are several issues students have now a days about fitting in with the right styles. Some issues are, some students think they should be able to dress the way they want, but schools should have the right to set standards and create more of a dress code, not a unique uniform that each student must wear. Initially, it was a good concept of a school uniform, but there are some flaws and specific items that go along with it that people dislike. If a dress code was created, the same objectives could possibly be achieved as through a school uniform. This dress code wouldn't be extremely tight where the students involved would become upset over the issue. With a moderate dress code misconduct and student conflicts would decrease, because the students would be able to dress closely to the way they want, yet taking away some brand names or unpleasant apparel that satisfies the school district. Misconduct will always occur in schools not matter what type of clothing students wear, students who are problems will always seem to be a problem. This dress code may decrease misconduct but I doubt it would eliminate it.

              Now on  to the positives. Uniforms help prevent dress code violations and they help prevent school violence. They also help students prevent harassment. Less harassment, leads to less fights. When everyone is wearing the same clothes, people can't judge on what others are wearing. Also they let people see who belongs to the school and who doesn't. What that means is that it is easier to spot kids out of uniform that don't belong in that school, then it is to not spot them when there is not a school uniform involved.
