Pros uniforms
School uniforms, as well as any form, disciplines, leading to cohesion, promotes development in pupils feeling of community, teamwork, common cause and the presence of common goals.
Form eliminates (or at least limits) the possibility of competition between students (and their parents) in clothing, significantly reduces the visual difference between students from families of different material wealth, preventing delamination on a "rich / poor».
Single standard on the form if it is taken at the state level, ensures that pupils wear will fit sanitary requirements and do not reflect negatively on their health.
If there is a single form, its production can be earmarked to subsidize maintaining low prices and remove the poor families of the burden of the costs of educating children.
