Benefits in school uniforms

I was just recently asked to be more specific in the beneficial areas that uniforms or dress codes may have in the school system. I thought that I had already done that in my first post about this issue, but there is always room to continually break down and analyse a topic.

For one, a dress code promotes a lessen number in disciplinary issues. In my last post, I briefly brought u gang related issues that could cause disciplinary conflict within a school. One way to find out what gang or group someone belongs to is a distinctive tattoo, something shaved into their haircut, or an article of clothing. A dress code would definitely minimize any chances of that. Dress codes would also lessens any chances of theft for a certain pair of expensive shoes, jewelery, etc.

As far as academically, uniforms have shown to allow students to concentrate better which improves test scores. I could go on but I rather give you this LINK to the statistics concerning the benefits of uniforms in schools.
