School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. the uniform of a school may differ from others. why should school use uniforms? below are some reasons.
first of all, Notre Dame's Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school uniforms. their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on "substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance" it also claimed a negative effect on students achievement for those students considered 'pro school'
secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. as such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
finally, uniform acts a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and of each other. in institution without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity.
