Argumentative Essay
 I believe schools should have uniforms. Uniforms take away many distractions and problems that schools have. Uniforms will contribute to students being on time for school. Uniforms are also much more cost effective than any clothes from American Eagle or Hollister. Uniforms will also help eliminate that gap in social statuses caused by money.

 School uniforms would largely contribute to students being on time for school. As a teenage girl, I know how long it takes to pick out an outfit in the morning. Each day girls try clothes on over and over again, hoping to find the right outfit. Uniforms would give each student one choice, and eliminate the morning outfit hassle that all girls (and some guys) struggle from.

 Uniforms are also a more cost effective option. Many parents work long hard hours just to buy their kids name brand clothing, so they can fit in at school. Uniforms would allow parents to only have to purchase their child school clothing a couple times a year. Each year parents spend hundreds of dollars on back to school shopping, and uniforms would cut the costs way down.

 The opposition would say that uniforms would kill students creativity. School uniforms would force students to show creativity in other way, and not just on outward appearance. They would say that the uniforms would not allow students to show their personality through the way they dress. In my opinion students already dress very similar. We wear our brand name clothes to be “uniform” with other students, so in a way students already are wearing a uniform.

 School uniforms would take care of many of the school systems problems. Students could come to school each day without worrying about if they had the latest trend on. Parents would be able to stop stressing if their child fit in at school or not. Teachers would be able to focus on something other than cracking down on the school dress code, and schools would be ran more effectively with school uniforms.
