Public school student to wear uniforms would be a bad idea for several reasons. First of all, no style of clothing looks good on everyone. In the pre-teen and teen years, students are especially sensitive about their appearance, and having to wear clothing that doesn’t fit them well will do little to help their fragile self-esteems. In addition, uniforms are expensive. Students would need to have at least two complete sets of uniforms to allow for laundering, which could be very costly for parents. Finally, a uniform policy ignores families’ rights and freedom to make clothing decisions that are best for them. Certainly schools should be able to restrict clothing that exposes too much skin. Public schools should allow students the freedom to express their unique personalities through their clothing.
