Uniforms

Every School Should Have

A Uniform

Hmmmmm what to wear what to wear? I think every school should have a uniform

Firstly, I think every school should have a uniform because…

When everyone wears their uniform they look like a proper school. If all the student look tidy and clean they will be ready for learning and that’s what every school wants is it not.

I think every school should have a uniform!!

Secondly, schools should have a uniform because…

Students will not tease each other on what they are wearing because they will be wearing the same as each other.

That is why I think every school should have a uniform.

Further more, schools should have a uniform because…

Will not ruin their normal mufti clothing. Imagine if you were wearing your favorite top to school and you were doing some art work and you got it stained that would get you in trouble.

That is why I think schools should have a uniform.

Lastly, schools should have uniforms because…

If the school was on a field trip and a student wandered off. no one would notice you were gone. they would not recognize that the student was the student and would just think the student was with their parent.

That is my last reason why schools should have a uniform.

I think schools should have uniforms and I hope you agree with me. It will save choosing what to wear in the mornings. By Gabrielle.
