Uniforms in schools can improve grades, self esteem and money!!!

I wore a uniform when I was in school. Although I would be very excited about wearing civil clothes to school on special occasions such as feast days, birthdays and festivals, I did not have peer pressure that children experience today. Wearing uniforms placed us all on an equal platform. We did not have to focus on what brands of clothes or shoes our peers wore, but rather on enjoying school and having fun. Parents also do not experience any guilt feelings or pressure to purchase branded clothing. The money saved is a big bonus. Studies have shown that uniforms in schools have led to improvement in grades. I relate good grades to happy confident kids who are focused on learning! So, what is stopping our school systems to make a change for the better?
