School Uniforms

I like how the author took the subject of the article another step further. There are many articles based on dress codes, and the ones that I've read are the students negative feedback about wearing a uniform. This article talked about how the students feel more official in uniforms and their preformance in class improved. The author made the article interesting with their choice of quotes from students, and the simple paragraphs to keep me reading. The author also made the article interesting by taking the article into different directions. He started off with the school in Hartford requiring uniforms, continued with other schools in Connecticut requring uniforms like New Haven, and then he continued by doing a national research with uniforms.

I also was interested in the topic. My though on the subject is it would be beneficial for schools to have uniforms and dress as their future career choice. Students would take things more seriously with dressing appropriately.
