Uniforms are as much about safety as theyare about a sense of group Teachers don't have to worry about losing sight ofstudents at the playground or on a field trip Also, when kids wear uniforms,they feel like they are part of the same group I wear a uniform and feel likemy school is one big team I feel included.
Also, when everyone wears the same, you don'thave to worry about how you look Parents can save money as well! And in themorning, I can save time because I don't have to think too much about myclothing.

I don't think kids should have to wearuniforms If students are wearing the same thing, they can't show themselves Kidsshould feel like they can be their own person They shouldn't have to match Duringschool hours, we should also be comfortable.
If we feel uncomfortable in our uniforms,we can't learn very well For many, it can't be more uncomfortable to be in auniform all day Next, parents have to go shopping and spend a lot of money onthe uniforms that we never wear at home.
What is your idea about it? Do you wearuniforms when you go to school every day? Write to our students' magazine andvoice your idea!
