Some high schools require all students to wear school uniforms. Other high schools permit students to decide what to wear to school. Which of these two school policies do you think is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

　　Almost all young people like wearing fancy clothes. It is human nature that we like dressing us well to attract people’s attention. Thus, some high schools’ requiring all students to wear school uniforms may annoy a lot of students. They may have a sense of being in jail. Like prisoner, wearing same clothes and doing same activities every day. However, as far as I see, the advantages of wearing school is considerably worthwhile than its disadvantages.

　　Violence in school draws more attention nowadays because it becomes more serious than before. There’s an investigation in the United States that the percentage of violence happened in campus declined significantly in some schools which require uniforms. Thus, we can draw a conclusion that wearing uniforms is possible a good method to cope with increase in violence, which is both good for the safety of schools and society.

　　Wearing uniforms does not only decrease bad behaviors in schools, but it makes students value their classmates in a wise way as well. Although we do not want concede our thoughts, it is true that a large number of people judge someone by their appearance. If a person dress well, he or she gives the impression of being well disposed and well spoken, which leads others to want to make friends with him or her. However, is that the right way to know a person? We are supposed to make friends according to their moral, loyalty and mentality. When students all wear uniforms, they have more chances to value classmates by what they are doing, what they are thinking, and what their ambitions are, so they may not just focus on appearance.

　　Finally, reducing families’ economic burden is one benefit caused by requiring students wear uniforms. The fact that there are still a lot of families with low incomes can not afford to buy many clothes should be considered. Requiring students to wear uniforms, schools make contribution to help those relatively poor families.

　　To conclude, wearing school uniforms is a well informed decision, which benefits society, students and their families. Although there might be a lot of opposition from students, they will gradually be aware of the benefits that uniforms bring to them.
