The clothing students choose to wear has become dangerous. Dress codes in public schools have been proposed and some have in forced it to protect students from situations of losing their lives over an expensive pair of sneakers. That is why all public schools should make dress codes mandatory. Dress codes also help parents who do not have enough money to buy their children expensive clothing. They give children some options in their uniforms and allow them some choices with the style of their outfits. . Students can purchase their own clothing per standards, at any clothing store. Dress codes should be in forced in every public school. .
Dress codes in public schools allow all students to be similar, at least with clothing. Children are so different with race, social class, and their own personal style, that it promotes children to be equal. Schools who have dress codes have less crime with in their school, and less reason for children to make fun of other children who cannot afford nice clothing. Making dress codes mandatory can eliminate most problems schools have with clothing. Uniforms promote an equality in all students, whether you are popular or not (LaPoint PG33).
Uniforms not only help students become more equal, but they also help parents finically. Uniforms are a better system for parents who cannot afford nice clothing for their children. They reduce the money students and parents spend on clothing (LaPoint PG33). Students will not have to pressure their parents for the latest styles to fit in, which cost a small fortune. Parents will not have to feel guilty or ashamed because they cannot afford the clothes. Students will not have to worry about their new pair of sneakers getting stolen from them. And parents then will not have to spend more money to replace them. .
Dress codes in public schools are not just about money, but are a sense of togetherness as one, with out compromising our individuality.
