Long Beach, California, which was one of the first cities in the United States to require uniforms in elementary and middle school, reported increased attendance and decreased bad behavior. In the first year, school crime decreased by 36 percent, fighting by 51 percent, and vandalism by 18 percent. The second reason for requiring school uniforms is that uniforms increase school spirit.

Students from wealthy, middle class, and poor families all wear the same clothes to school, so parents don't feel pressure to spend a lot of money for the latest fashions. Also, students who cannot afford the latest fashions, don’t feel self-conscious. For these reasons, I feel that public schools in the United States should require students to wear uniforms, at least in grades K-8."
