gnized in school. I am not saying that this is a big problem at every school but it is at some. Gang members may have some article of clothing or wear something a certain way which would represent their gang. This is something that is noticeable to everyone at school.

The student body would be dressed the same and it looks good. There would be neat classrooms because everyone looks the same. I feel that this would also cut down on classroom distractions. I personally went to a high school that had an uniform policy, and when I w...
