　　While the debate over school uniforms is complicated, the pros of wearing school uniforms are obvious.

　　Most teachers and school officials feel that school uniforms make a better student. They believe that the uniforms reduce distractions(分心) and discipline problems. Some students have turned school into an unending fashion show. This distracts from learning as some kids spend more time focusing on their clothes than on homework. Some say that a child in a school uniform is more likely to take school seriously. Putting on the school uniform signals he or she is going to school just like dad dresses up to go to work. Schools report that when students dress in “work clothes” rather than “play clothes” they take a more serious approach to their studies. Some teachers feel wearing a school uniform helps build school spirit. Schools report an increase in school pride after introducing a uniform policy.

　　To many parents, uniforms are a less－expensive alternative to shopping at specialty and department stores. They are becoming far less expensive than many other clothes. They argue that school uniforms are economical, especially compared to designer clothing. Therefore, in these parents’ eye, students don’t have to worry about whether what they wear looks good or not when they are dressed uniformly. They suggest that if students wore uniforms, their self－image would be based on academic achievement instead of on a wardrobe. They also say school uniforms last longer because they are made for repeated wash and wear. What’s more, school uniforms decrease fighting and violence that arise out of arguments over fashionable clothes. Children invariably tease those who do not have trendy clothes. Those who can’t afford brand－name clothes are often sensitive about their clothing. Schools struggling with gang(一帮) problems report that school uniforms help ease tensions.
