In the past few decades’ school has shifted its focus from education to the fashion of the kids. Students are judged upon their shoes or jeans rather than the process of their academics. Uniforms in the public education system is a great idea, not only is it cost effective, but also it gives the students a chance to concentrate on their studies and not have to worry about what to wear tomorrow because it’s the same thing. Plus the crime or violence rate drops in schools that have a uniform policy, and those that do not belong on campus are spotted quicker and easier which keeps the kids safe. (Wilde, 2010) Private schools have already adopted this idea as well as some schools. Early morning or late evening fights over what is allowed to be worn to school could come to an end if uniforms are issued in the public school system and benefit the entire school itself.
The cost of uniforms as compared to the latest fashion statement is not a far stretch from ridiculous. (McDermott, 2009). For the price of a household appliance, two or three outfits can be bought which helps parents tremendously. The way the kids are dressed is more important than the grades they make which is completely backwards. The students who don’t have the money to buy all the newest clothes tend to do poorly in school or not even go to school as much because they feel that they don’t fit in. The kids that come from less fortunate financially level backgrounds are the kids out there selling drugs and committing the crimes, but the money they make is usually spent to help cope with the issues that occur from the bullying from peers. Uniforms can be bought at almost any clothing store and are cheap compared to other outfits. Prices range from $5-$7 for shirts, $10 for shorts and $7 for jumpers which is a huge save in comparison. Of course used clothes are cheaper which is an even better deal is
