Wearing uniforms:
.encourages students to be proud of their:: school because the uniforms bear their school's name.
.helps the students feel equal in many ways, whether they are rich or poor.
.is practical. No need to think of what to wear every day.
I think it is necessary for secondary school students to wear uniforms when they are at school.
Firsts uniforms encourage students to be proud of being students of their school because they are wearing the uniforms with labels bearing their school's name.
Secondly wearing uniforms helps students feel equal in many ways, whether they are rich or poor.
Finally wearing uniforms is practical. You don’t have to think of what to wear every day.
Therefore, students in secondary schools should wear uniforms.

Secondary school students should wear casually uniforms
