School Uniforms

You are an eleven year old girl. You come from a rather poor family and you cannot afford all of the fancy clothes that some of the other girls have. At school your are bullied and made fun of because of your clothes. If only your school had a set school uniform you wouldn’t feel so out of place. I believe school uniforms should be endorsed by schools on a national level because they make everyone feel the same. The issue that most people have with school uniforms is that it would infringe on their rights as American citizens. When in fact, as minors we do not have many rights that legal adults have. By having children wear uniforms, they are being prepared for having a job. Most jobs, no matter what profession, have some kind of dress code. It also teaches responsibility because students have to make sure their outfits are clean the following day and remember to wear them every day. Also what you wear won't offend others if they're wearing the exact same outfit. So in conclusion it is in the best interest of the United States Educational Systems to standardize school uniforms so that everyone is more focused on education and not on clothing.
