Walter and Winfield, why do you support uniforms? I'm curious to know.
There are many, many compelling reasons for students in public schools wearing uniforms.
For the sake of brevity, one reason I will state is that it puts students more on an equal footing. Their social standing is based more on the individuals character rather than their economic status. We would not have the problem of students competing with each other as to who is wearing the latest fads. Students would not be permitted to wear gang clothing.
I think Walter gave one of the best reasons, and he beat me to it for posting it, about preparing students for the future. In the adult world, the world into which students will be entering, there all kinds of dress codes, standards, and even uniforms.
