Some feel that school uniforms make schools safer for students, create a "level playing field" that reduces socioeconomic disparities and encourage children to focus on their studies rather than their clothes. Others say school uniforms infringe upon students' right to express their individuality, have no positive effect on behaviour and academic achievement. Discuss both sides & give your opinion.

For instance

, several international schools in our country encourage personal dressing on Fridays, which has led to many students complaining to the student counsellor against branded clothed bullies.

Additionally

On the other hand

, there are those who believe that enforcing a dress-code inhibits individuality of students and argue that schools should not follow dressing norms. I would like to argue that kids will have all the

Nevertheless

, students are in school only for a short period of

Moreover

, uniforms most definitely have a positive impact on students' academics and general behaviour, as they feel safe in an assigned code of conduct. We can observe that students still manage to create disparities by carrying expensive school bags, bottles and pencil boxes. These
