It is my belief that students should
wear uniforms to school daily. First of all,
students would focus more on their
academics than on their clothing.
Therefore, they would be more successful in
class and get better grades. In addition,
students and parents wouldn’t have to
worry about constantly buying new clothes
and keeping up with trends. Parents would
be able to save their money. Finally, if
students wore uniforms, they wouldn’t have
to waste time in the morning picking out
clothes. Parents and students would be
happier because there would be less
fighting and hurrying in the morning. I have
been a principal for over ten year, and it is
my professional opinion that wearing
uniforms to school would be beneficial for
both students and their parents.
