Questions 23-25

Should students wear uniforms to school? Supporters of uniforms claim they can increase
school safety. Uniforms allow staff to quickly identify people who do not belong on campus
and limit the ways that gangs can infiltrate into schools. In 1994, Long Beach United School
District in Califomia began requiring uniforms with the hopes of improving safety, Just five
years later, the overall crime rate in the district was down 91 percent. Specifically, sex
offenses dropped 96 percent and number of incidents of vandalism had decreased by 69
percent.

When all students are dressed alike, economic and social barriers between students are
reduced. There is no peer pressure to wear expensive clothes or bullying of those who can't
afford designer labels. Children have one less distraction, as they do not have to concern
themselves with what others are wearing Common dress can also make students feel like they
belong to the school community, increase pride and even improve attendance. A 2012 study
by the University of Houston of 160 publics, urban schools, found that student attendance
increased after schools began making the wearing of uniforms compulsory. Supporters of
school uniforms often cite increased academic achievement as a main reason to adopt such a
policy. While there are some testimonies from individuals to support this claim, overall,
studies yielded inconclusive results and there is no clear evidence that wearing uniforms lead
to better academic achievement.
