In many American schools, students must wear a shirt with the school logo. Every year, some students complain about this rule. They say that it is boring and that it stops them from showing who they are. I understand them, but I believe that school shirts are a good idea.
First, school shirts save time and money. In the morning I don't have to think about what to wear, and my parents don't have to buy expensive brand-name clothes so that I can look like everyone else.
Second, school shirts make everyone more equal. When we all wear the same thing, nobody is judged by the price of their clothes. In my old school, which had no uniform, some kids were laughed at because their clothes were old. That doesn't happen here.
Third, the shirt makes us feel part of a group. On school trips, it is easy for teachers to find us, and we feel proud when people see our logo.
Of course, students want to express themselves. But there are many ways to do that: our hairstyles, our shoes, our bags and, most of all, what we say and do. A T-shirt is just a T-shirt.
