Uniform Expenses.

School uniforms can be very expensive. Very few parents can afford these expenses. However school outfitters are no longer better quality than the cheaper supermarkets version. This is an advantage to many parents who struggle to afford the cost of uniform. The consumer group says the high price of these items does not guarantee an improved quality or longer wear. The schools uniform version and other supermarkets version can have the same quality but different prices. Therefore, expensive uniform and cheap uniform may have the same quality.

Helps being identified.

This article talks about how helpful wearing uniforms can be to the public and to the school.
"I strongly believe that wearing a school uniform is crucial to the way children behave and also affects them academically. Additionally, being identifiable from a particular school reduces the opportunity for students to skip school or get into trouble on the way to and from school", says Laurelinda. Therefore, wearing uniform identifies which school you are from.

Wearing school uniforms with pride.

Having a strict uniform dress code is the best way of discipline. "I am often disgusted to see untidy, disheveled and unruly children on their way to school" according to Mrs Genevieve Richards (New International Newspaper Ltd. July 31, 1998). She believes that wearing school uniform gives the student an identity. Makes them feel good about themselves and the school they represent. Uniforms should not be worn if the student is given opportunity to do owns free will, there is no point she says. G.Richards is determined to have her children go to school wearing their uniforms with dignity as she did.

School uniforms are legal.

This article says that wearing school uniform has its advantages. Students would feel equally treated within the environment. Legally school uniforms are compulsory at ages 6 and 15. The decree was compelled because even is a child wanted to go to school or not there would be no legal decree to enforce wearing school uniforms. Students who enroll into private schools are also expected to wear uniforms if it is part of the school regulations.
