__Why students should wear a school uniform__
 * Paragraph 1- opening statement and 3 supporting statements**
 * Introductory paragraph**

//It is important that all students wear a school **uniform.** When students wear a uniform, they have a sense of belonging and pride in their school.(1) Uniforms are cost effective for families.(2) When students wear uniforms they do not have to be concerned about others teasing them if they do not have ‘designer-label’ clothing.(3)//


 * Paragraph 2 (elaboration)**

//Students who are visiting other schools to play sports can be easily identified when they are in **uniform**. They feel proud to play in their school’s colours. A uniform provides a ‘sense of family’ for a school.//


 * Paragraph 3 (elaboration)**

//**Uniforms** are cost effective for families. They are durable and can be passed down to siblings. Uniforms are reasonably priced in uniform stores however **they can be** **bought** second-hand from schools. Recycling uniforms helps to protect the environment.//


 * Paragraph 4 (elaboration)**

//**Uniforms can prevent students from being teased or even bullied** because they do not have ‘designer label’ clothing. Students who do not like this type of clothing or whose parents cannot afford it do not have to worry about what to wear to school each day. Having uniforms means that students are able to concentrate on their studies and not their clothing. As well, **uniforms are designed**to suit a variety of shapes and sizes.//


 * Paragraph 5 (conclusion)**

//**Uniforms** are a necessary part of school life. **They** define a school for students, families and the community. **They** do not put an excessive strain on a family’s budget.// //**Uniforms** allow **students to be treated fairly by their peers** on who they are and not on what they wear. Should students wear a uniform? Definitely.//
