Potential Research Topics-School Uniforms

This topic is very interesting to me because its very controversial. There's pros and cons to school uniforms.The pros are it's easy in the morning and everyone has to dress the same. Since everyone is dressed the same this can limit bullying. However there are some cons. Children like to express themselves through there clothing and having to wear a uniform restricts it. I personal don't mind them because it would save me time in the morning.
