The Benefits of School Uniforms

There has been a long debate on whether or not children should have to wear uniforms to school. At St. Teresa Catholic School, a VPK in Titusville, we believe in the advantages of wearing uniforms, which benefits not only students but parents and teachers as well. Less Stress in the MorningWith uniforms, mornings are easier for everyone. There’s no rummaging through the closet to find a nice outfit; it’s already put together: the school uniform. In almost no time, you can be out the door.Reduces Competition and Peer PressureTeasing and bullying decrease with matching outfits. When everybody is wearing the same thing, there is no competition or clothing-related peer pressure. Nobody can pass judgment on your child for not wearing brand names. This allows students to build more genuine relationships.More Cost-EffectiveWhen you don’t have to worry about daily outfits, you’re actually saving money! It’s simple: buying a few uniforms and less regular clothing helps you save for better things. Jeans can cost $40 a pair, especially if they are a brand name. For that amount, you can buy a few uniform khakis and polos. Who doesn’t love to spend less and save more!Increases School SpiritSchool spirit is a sense of identity and community. When the student body is dressed in uniforms, they build a stronger team mentality and sense of belonging.New Students Fit Right InIf your child is new at school, they won’t feel out of place based on their clothing. Uniforms put a focus on equality and prevent reasons for students to feel targeted or left out. What a great way to stop cliques from forming!With over 57 years of academic excellence, St. Teresa Catholic School, a VPK in Titusville, provides a quality education that challenges and empowers students to develop to their full potential. Students foster qualities that are essential for lifelong learning and are equipped for future success.
