School Uniforms are unnecessary
School Uniforms, while they may look tasteful, are unnecessary for most if not all schools. Students or schools have to dish out extra cash for clothing that adds little if any academic value as studies has shown. I also doubt that school advertising on uniforms is going to contribute to gaining more students as if the parents have a choice in where they send their child to school they are going look for the safest schools with the best academic performance, not because they saw a shirt with a logo, and the second reason I doubt that advertisement would work on school uniforms is based on the fact that you wear the uniform mostly in school so only people who already go to said school would see it. I understand that sometimes they wear their uniforms to special events, but a majority of the time spent in the uniform is in the school. As for your last two arguments, they are both non-issues. Identification's main benefit is safety, but nowadays many schools are getting more and more secure, and I doubt those few extra seconds picking out an outfit are going to affect anything. http://freakonomics.com... https://www.greatschools.org... https://www.brookings.edu... https://www.npr.org...
