1. provide students with a better education.
Point of View Practice
Schools that have uniforms are often more
successful. Students are less worried about what
they are going to wear to school or what other
students are wearing, and more concerned with
their school work. Since many jobs require
employees to wear certain clothing, having school
uniforms is also good practice for the real world
outside of school. Also, school uniforms are
often cheaper than other clothes, which makes
school more affordable for everybody.

This was my last stop of the day. I couldn’t
wait to get home and eat dinner. I climbed the
steps and rang the door bell. A long haired dog
ran to the window and started barking loudly at
me. “Be quiet!” I heard a girl whisper. “Mom’s
trying to sleep!.” The barking stopped as a brown
haired girl opened the door. She signed for the
package I had brought her. Finally I could head
home!

I was lying on the couch trying to sleep when I
heard the doorbell ring. I rushed to the door,
looked out the window, and started barking at the
woman at the door. “Be quiet! Mom’s trying to
sleep,” my owner whispered loudly to me. I
headed back to the couch as the door was
opened.

“Ding-dong!” I opened my eyes, wondering if I
should go get the door or try to go back to sleep.
Just as I had decided to try to sleep, Fido started
barking loudly. “UGHHHH,” I groaned, as I climbed
out of bed. I headed for the front door just in
time to see my daughter taking a package out of
the postal worker’s hands.
