Student’s pride is supposed to increase because of uniforms. Students feel more united and connected while wearing uniforms. Schools become a safer place, with a healthier environment for students. Students tend to test higher on standardized tests and their grades gradually improve. However, other people beg to differ by perspicuous. These people say uniforms do not have any type of effect on students. The violence and crime that students become involved with normally arise from problems at home. Students will still judge one another, even though they are wearing the same uniform. Bullies will pick on other student’s hair, shoes, weight, height, Etc. It does not stop students from forming cliques. People will still divide up into their cliques because the majority of friends do. A student’s pride does not increase because they are wearing the colors of their school. Students tend to feel obligated to be different. They will find a way to be different from one another by having a piercing, different color hair, tattoos, etc. This will affect the student’s environment.

...s that are longer than the girl’s skirts. Although male student’s values were strongly set on education, their mind still does wonder by trying to catch a glimpse of a girl bending over. Some girls deny that they wear their dresses too short. This causes a distraction. The guys will not pay attention in class. Instead of paying attention, they will stare at the short dresses on the girls. This causes the boys to do work at a lower level. The schools should make a rule on the skirt lengths and enforce it with severe punishments such as detentions, suspensions, and expulsions. This rule should make the lengths below the knees. If public students had one thing over their private school counterparts it's about to change.
