School+Uniforms-Pro+SA-2

Support Area #2  School Uniforms keep the students’ focus on learning. “They give the students a greater focus on learning. When the emphasis is off fashion, students focus on learning - - and get better grades.” (Should You Have...). Overall, in schools with school uniforms, the test scores and grades are overall, better, than the schools who don’t have them. The schools with them are generally private schools, who make them wear uniforms and their test scores are higher than most kids in public schools without them.

In Lemoyme, Pennsylvania, a 7th grader, Leah Thorton, says “You worry less about how you look, so you are more focused on what you’re doing in class.” (qtd in, Berotto). And she’s enjoying school uniforms after having them for less than one year. Over the past few months, many schools are changing to applying school uniforms and they are having improvement in their test scores. the kids focus more on learning because they don’t worry what everybody is wearing, because its all the same. Overall, it must be obvious that school uniforms improve students’ focus.
