While some students would like to choose their clothes, there are many
reasons why public schools should wear school uniforms. First, uniforms save
time in the morning. Selecting an outfit can take time, but putting on a uniform is
easy and fast. In addition, uniforms are also less expensive than regular clothing.
An outfit for a student can cost more than sixty dollars, and shoes or accessories
can add cost.
On the other hand, the uniforms sold at area stores cost thirty dollars or
less.
Furthermore, uniforms would reduce the competition in dress among
students. Lastly, some students might not be able to afford popular clothes, and
wearing uniforms would save them from being embarrassed. Given all of these

a school uniform.
