School uniforms are a waste of time and money.

It's a common misconception that school uniforms are waste of money and time however it is the complete opposite, it benefits the students in many ways, lowering the risk of them being late. Interestingly it actually saves students time in the morning and saves money for doing less laundry. Study shows that teenagers perceive clothes as something that express themselves this makes them overthink of what they're going to wear being afraid to be judged, this is when school uniforms save time, instead of worrying about what to wear mix-matching outfits, student are already given an outfit that also teaches them to dress formally and be tardy. On top of that, wearing different clothes every day causes more time and money in the long run. Though some people might argue that school uniforms are pointless it actually was put there for a reason, to help them to save time to teaching student to be tardy, shaping them to be decent people.
