Pros+-+Conclusion

States across the country from California to Virginia have set up school uniform policies. (Cook 1) Officials say students who are safe, secure and learn American values and good citizenship are better students. (U.S. Department of Education 1) The U.S Dept of Education states in paragraph 3 that one of the main reasons for the school uniforms is to prevent the wearing of gang colors and symbols. Also, school uniforms raise self-esteem. They help students focus because they are not as worried about their clothes as well. Schools should have a school uniform policy because the combat gangs and gang colors, help students focus and prevents social embarrassment and raise self-esteem. Some other steps that pro-uniform people should do could be to take polls of average test scores of schools in the same district that had and did not have a uniform policy. They could ask students whether or not they liked uniforms and why. Delving deeper into the school uniform controversy would produce results too.
