Essay #2..

School Uniforms are in a way very unique and different, but what is really the reason that students should have to wear them? The United States is supposed to be a country of freedom and individuality. Each and every person in the world is different, and by making people dress the same they cannot express themselves fairly the way that they would like to. It is sensible for schools to be able to make dress codes, but telling students they have to all dress the same is absolutely ridiculous. Having school uniforms is not necessary, and there are many reasons to prove why schools should not make their students wear uniforms.
First, I think school uniforms can save time because students, especially girls, don’t have to spend a lot of time trying to choose clothes to wear. In eliminating this time consuming task, students would have a lot more time to do more important things such as eating breakfast in the morning or doing homework. Also, think of all those hours at the mall trying to find the perfect thing to wear. With uniforms, you can spend that time visiting your Grandparents or doing something nice for a neighbor.
Secondly, I believe uniforms can make school safer because they can alleviate school violence and indignant based on the clothes the children wear. This would help kids with less money to elude the teasing they would get if they didn’t have uniforms. In addition, school uniforms would help pinpoint all the hoodlums and menaces that aren’t supposed to be on the campus.
Lastly, with school uniforms, parents wouldn't be steeped with overpriced clothing. Uniforms only cost fifty to one hundred and thirty dollars yearly, plus ten dollars if you want accessories to complement the uniforms, but that‘s always optional. If you compare that price to the price you have to pay buying clothes every other week, you’d be bewildered at how much you can save.
In conclusion, I think students would benefit a lot more if they had to wear school uniforms. Kids wouldn’t have to eat breakfast in the car, parents wouldn’t have to wince whenever they looked at the receipt, and poor students wouldn’t have to be bullied by the delinquents.
