The debate for school uniforms has another side. Some say school uniforms violate a student’ s ability to express themselves. (Wilde 6) Officials complain that the policies “…Are simply a band-aid on the issue of school violence.”(Wilde 6) “School uniforms [are said to be] expensive and have no use outside of school.”(youdebate.com 8) There is some validity to these arguments. However, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Students can still express themselves through accessories and hairstyles. Even the facts from studies show that uniforms do stifle violence and other bad habits while still allowing students to express themselves, which is why uniforms should be allowed.
