Effects Of School Uniform

Greatness of Uniforms
Many people have different opinions of school uniforms. Some people think they have a positive effect in the classroom, others think it has a negative effect in the classroom. School uniforms are certain clothes that are worn by all students at the school and usually have the school logo or emblem. In the source Ebsco: School Uniforms it says, “School uniforms were first worn in the 16th century by a school called the Christ Hospital school, in London.” It was the first school ever to start wearing uniforms. After many centuries school uniforms became more popular and now about 20 percent of schools in the U.S have school uniforms and about 50 percent have strict dress codes.

School uniforms help because if everyone is wearing the same clothing and they all look the same, you won’t be concentrating on what your friend is wearing, but you will be actually listening to what the teacher has to say.

When wearing uniforms the students don’t have any stress of what to wear because it is the same thing every, but without uniforms it is definitely not the same. In the website EBSCOHost: School Uniforms: An Overview it says.”Some kids spend hours just to decide of what they are going to wear that day and it might be very stressful for them just to choose what to wear.” In schools with uniforms there is not that kind of pressure. Those are some of the reasons why I think that uniforms cause less stress in what students have to wear to school because they won’t have to worry about getting the best brands or decide of what to wear to school that
