School uniforms solve many problems schools are facing today.
Schools across the country have implemented district-wide uniform policies with great success. In 1994, the Long Beach California School district started mandating school uniforms for all 58,500 elementary and middle school students. According to a manual produced by the U.S. Department of Education, one year after the implementation district officials found that the school's overall violence decreased by 36 percent, fights decreased 51 percent, sex offenses decreased 74 percent, weapons offenses decreased 50 percent, assault and battery offenses decreased 34 percent and vandalism decreased 18 percent. In a time when children and teenagers are already facing many difficult issues, uniforms help eliminate another major concern fitting in. Uniforms place more emphasis on the person inside than the clothes they are wearing.
