Do you like wearing school uniforms? Well if you don’t you should. Students should wear school uniforms because school uniforms help curb violence, foster a better learning environment or promote discipline in students. School uniforms are one step that may help break the cycle of violence truancy and disorder by helping young students understand what really counts is what kind of people we really are.
Wearing school uniforms increases students self-esteem because they do not have to participate in the school fashion shows dressing alike helps students learn that what really counts is on the inside. It decreases the influence of gangs and violence; it makes it easier to ban gang colors or symbols. It improves learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment. It also increases the school spirit.
If you wear school uniforms it can improve behavior and increase school attendance, some students actually skip school to avoid embarrassment about their clothing. It saves families time and money, may parents report that three uniforms cost the same as one pair of designer jeans. Even some students admit that wearing the same colors everyday makes it easier to shop for new clothes. It can also quickly identify outsiders who could be danger to students.
Some students and parents say uniforms violate the right to freedom of speech and expression. It depends on what school you pick that says if you can or cant wear uniform. Don’t you want to go to a school that looks presentable and professional? Parents and students also say it cost too much for families who already struggle to make ends meet. Many schools give students uniforms for free, I’m sure they will give it to you if you cant afford it.
The issue of school uniforms, whether in a private or public school, is not clear-cut. They seem to work best when whole school communities discuss and agree upon a policy and then enforce it. And most proponents agree that requiring uniforms will only bring success if other programs accompany it. Uniforms may be a part of the solution, but they are not the only way to improve schools.

They were rounded up by Nazi police and collaborators and put on to train for 3 days and 2 nights. When the train got to the camps, people were hearded over to the entrance. Not only Jews were in the camps, but gays, Christians, and gypsies too. People were split up into two lines, one to go into the gas chamber, and the other to be worked to death, literally. Families were split up. ews were starved to death, they died of many diseases and were spilt apart from their families. Most children were killed when they arrived at the camp. All the Jews' belongings were taken from them and the Nazis lied and said they would get their things back later. Jews were completey shaved; some were sexually harrased by Nazis. They were forced to wear the Star of David. Hitler was a bad man. He killed the Jews because he wanted a race that only had blonde hair and blue eyes, though he wasn't even blonde and didn't have blue eyes himself.

The reason Elie Wiesel named the book night because to be a witness to the Holocaust, so that it would never be forgotten. Also, because talking about many people in those circumstances can be abstract and intellectual, whereas reading about a few people with names and personalities can bring the emotional reality of it closer.
