nationwide debate about whether public schools should require their students to wear uniforms. This policy should be implemented‚ because uniforms take importance away from materialism‚ and encourage students to focus on their work. Many supporters believe that the students will behave how they are dressed. If they are dressed in a tailored manner‚ then the students will act accordingly.
