Model Answer:
A school is a formal place to teach and train students about the life, morality, discipline and basics of survival. It is the place that helps them to develop the senses which are essential in leading the life in the days ahead. So, a school is a very important place for the students. A school is not only a place to gain a formal education; it is also the place to learn rules to lead the life and responsibilities to bear in future. For preparing the student, the school authorities undertake different initiatives and school uniform is one of them. Uniforms differ from school to school and it is a must for the students to wear the uniform.

But there are few schools found who do not care for the uniform. They do also have specific uniforms but they are indifferent over the issue to check if the students have worn the uniform of not. They seem not much interested in it and allow the students wearing any kinds of dresses they want. But this is not a good practice and also contains potential damage to the students. Wearing the school uniform is a discipline and if a student does not wear the specific uniform, it refers that s/ he is breaking the rule and the rule breaking begins from the early stage of their life. If the habit continues, it will be harmful to their future.

It could be changed if the schools take preventive measures. It is the childhood which is the perfect time to form any habit regardless good or bad. The habits made in the childhood remains till the last breath. The kids are like soft clay and could be shaped as they are wanted. So, if the schools do not teach them to abide by the rules, they will be breaking the rules everywhere.

Wearing the right uniform is a rule and the schools should make it obligatory for the students to attend school wearing the uniform. They should not be allowed to attend or even enter the school unless they wear the uniform. It will make the students be aware of the value of following rules. Besides, uniforms also represent the schools and if the kids and students do not wear school uniforms, they will continue misdeeds in different places. If they are with uniforms, they will not be able to commit any crime or will think thrice before committing as they will be recognized by the uniforms. It is another way to make them aware to follow the laws and rules. Moreover, the school uniforms are made in different ways and look beautiful when worn. It looks classy when few students of an educational institution walk together wearing their school uniform. But if there were no school uniforms as their attires, they would not have looked so elegant. A good looking school uniform also increases the fame of the school.

Therefore, it is imperative for the schools to make wearing school uniform mandatory. If the students are made aware of the importance of wearing school uniform, they will always try to use the uniform. But the rule may be relaxed in special events organized by the school.
