There are still ways for students to express themselves in school. Students can still stand out and express themselves through their book bags, hair, and shoes. Dress codes control many things, but not everything. It is more important for students to become better citizens than for them to wear their favorite clothes to school. Theirs is also this advantage: “What does a person wear after being able to choose his own clothes almost for the first time in his sentient life? Anything they damn want.” (Luscombe) Overall, schools around the world could benefit from a dress code or uniforms. Uniforms are stricter than dress codes, making them more effective. Students can still get away with it when only a dress code is implemented. There will be more bullying and crime. However, dress codes are better than nothing. It is important to avoid inappropriate clothing that distracts from learning and it is important to have a united school where children feel they belong. Greater benefits include safety, with fewer theft and theft crimes
