There is a strong debate on both sides of whether school uniforms are a good strategy for raising academic scores or not. Parents are concerned

that school uniforms could get in the way of religious clothing. It is true that it would be a little harder, but still manageable. For example, a Muslim

girl wearing a skirt and t-shirt would simply have to wear leggings and a long-sleeved shirt under her uniform and a scarf on her head

(712educators.about.com). Another concern would be that students cannot express themselves, but that is not true, either. There are so many ways

students can still express themselves. Girls can wear jewelry and they can accessorize their outfits. Besides the physical appearance, there are

other ways for students to express themselves. Students can express themselves through actions and words. After all, clothes do not define you.

School uniforms are a plus because then you aren't judged by other people based on the clothes that you wear, you would be based on your

personality. School uniforms can be used to increase discipline and teacher control. They can also be used to stop teasing (Buzzle.com).
