Individuality can be expressed through clothing, and this can be a pro for administration and a con for the students. Depending on the individuality, a required clothing style may keep some students in appropriate classroom attire, even though they would rather choose too-short skirts or too-low tops. Conforming with school uniforms also avoids students disagreements based on style choice, and keeps students from poking fun at each other for wearing Wal-Mart versus brand-name clothing.
