Uniforms in Our Public Schools School uniforms are a logical choice for the public school location. Uniforms prevent students from low-income backgrounds from being singled out for poor-quality or cheap clothing, prevent the use of gang colors, allow certain safety measures, and allow teachers to form an impression of students based on to actions and work rather than dress code choices. Since the 1990s, schools have reported surprising results by imposing a school uniform policy. Konheim-Kalkstein, Y. L (2006) writes: “School uniforms, advocates have argued, can lead to improved classroom discipline and behavior, increased school attendance, respect for teachers, better academic performance, to higher student self-esteem and confidence, to lower a mandatory uniform policy in place helps ease the burden of school clothing costs by allowing parents to shop at more reasonable prices, because the clothes will have the same appearance regardless of brand. School bullying can be reduced by not being able to easily determine more expensive versus less expensive clothing, eliminating the ease with which individuals profile based on income status. Students who regularly mistreat other students based on clothing choices will be eliminated, improving student behavior. This policy also allows students to focus more on their studies than the next new clothing fad, resulting in greater academic progress. Reducing distractions from students' clothing choices allows students to focus on what they need to do in school: learn. (“The pros and cons of children wearing uniform in schools”, 2013). Giving our least advantaged students the opportunity to wear administrator-mandated uniforms allows these children to feel more included and less segregated from those who come from more advantaged backgrounds. Allowing these students to get to know each other based on actions rather than background and status could lead to more diverse and sophisticated friendships. This could promote greater tolerance in our society, resulting in a more peaceful climate
