School uniform

School uniform is important because if you don’t people will think you don’t go to there school and if you do wear your uniform they will know that you go to there school.

My second reason is if you go on trip to somewhere and you get lost when you're not wearing your uniform they won’t recognize you and leave.

My further reason school uniform represents our school and people may think that school uniform is not important but it is important to the school.

My furthermore reason is that it is important because if you wear your uniform kids can know that you respect the schools uniform and property.

I think that i’ve shown that school uniform is important  to schools and others.
