Uniforms… yes? Or not? There is a never-ending discussion in schools across the country about school uniforms and whether or not they provide a better experience at school for students or just teachers. Those in favor of uniforms insist that uniforms will allow families to save time and money on clothing. This is because nowadays children often get ready themselves, because their parents usually go to work before they wake up for school (Linder-Altman). The uniforms give the parents of these children the assurance that their child will go to school looking quite dignified. It is also argued that uniforms will reduce the amount of bullying in school because all students will look alike. On the other hand, those who protest against uniforms believe that even if everyone is dressed more or less the same, cliques will still form and bullying will continue to exist (dress code and uniforms). I wore uniforms all through elementary school and I didn't like them because I always felt uncomfortable. In hindsight, it may have been because I felt like my personality was being bottled up every time I put on the school uniform. It is argued that uniforms are not inclusive and do not allow children to accept each other due to their differences (Linder-Altman). When everyone in school is dressed the same, students may feel as if they are unable to express themselves.

If all were students to dress the same, Caruso argues, ideas like these would no longer be a problem (85). Caruso's idea that once schools implement a uniform dress code we would no longer have to worry about our students coming. judged because of their perceived status is unfair. Because conformity is the only answer to put an end to it
