Oscar Wilde wrote a play called “The Importance of Being Earnest” and it was first performed in 1895. The play is about the characters that have different identities and do not always tell the truth.

You put on the same clothes that you were wearing yesterday and walk to school. You open the door and you see a million people‚ all wearing the same outfit as you. It feels just like yesterday and the day before that. That is what every day would be like if our school had uniforms. I know that many kids in public schools are against having uniforms in school.
