School is a place where children are educated. There is a basic inequality in school now because not all children can afford the same clothes. This situation may cause serious psychological problems for those children who don't live up to the standard. Children who dress differently may be criticized, causing deep traumatic results. Those children who can afford the good clothes will learn to brag and boast about their money and will not learn how their abuse can hurt the feelings of another student.
Children now live in a tougher time than ever before.
It is not necessary to give them more stress with worrying to keep up with the new fashion trends. Moreover, the wealthier students may be identified as so and be robbed or even kidnapped. The concept of uniforms will have a calming influence on students and will have them focus on what is most important, their education. Teachers will have an easier time to teach and will enjoy teaching more. In New York City there is a shortage of qualified teachers.
