Should students have to wear uniforms

When the whole school is wearing school uniform it look smart. Students should wear uniforms because it is less distracting in the classroom and it prevents bullying over what you wear or what you don't.Using uniforms is cost effective, meaning that most of the students that are in the school are able to buy them.Students should be required to wear uniforms at school.
