The Pros of School Uniforms
       Historically, the concept of school uniforms is familiar to many European schools and private schools within the United States.  However, much more attention to the importance of school uniforms arose when a significant movement began in the 1980’s to introduce dress codes within public schools in the United States. As more and more public schools implemented dress codes, more and more parents and students questioned the real value of school uniforms as a tool to curb violence in schools and promote achievement. Both sides of this controversy can present valid arguments for their respectiveviews. However, school uniforms are a real solution to many of the issues that schools face. School uniforms help produce a safe academic learning environment which helps students achieve. School uniforms reduce competition among students for designer clothes; reduces tension due to gang-related clothing; and creates a sense of team spirit and respect.  Definitely, the implementation of school uniforms within a school system has advantages and disadvantages. Each school system and community is different. However the constant is that most school administrators, teachers, students, parents, and communities want to see students achieve.
