Should schools require students to wear uniforms?

Sorry for forfeiting my first round, but let’s get started.

Why would that even matter? Schools are full of children—there’s no reason school uniforms should be viewed in that way at all.

Wearing a uniform isn’t about stripping students of their freedom; it’s about maintaining a focused and appropriate learning environment. The purpose of school is to learn, not to show off fashion choices or wear distracting or inappropriate clothing. In fact, requiring uniforms creates a sense of unity, reduces bullying over clothing choices, and helps students focus on their education rather than their appearance. Schools should be a place of learning and discipline, and uniforms reinforce that mindset.
