Model Essay(范文)：
Many high schools, both public and private, require students to wear uniforms. I think that sucha policy is an excellent idea because uniforms can make things more equal for all students.
First, uniforms make students equal on an economic level. With uniforms, students from poorfamilies dress the same as students from rich families. This can prevent envy and jealousyabout stylish clothes. It can also encourage students to form friendships based onpersonality, not clothes.
Second, uniforms can reduce unequal treatment by teachers. Research suggests that teachersoften have higher expectations for more attractive students, which include those students withnicer clothes. This special attention can include providing more challenges and opportunities forthese students. Uniforms help teachers make judgments based on ability, not appearance.
Finally, uniforms encourage the individual students of a school to feel like part of a biggergroup. Their feelings of being together, working together and having something in common areall helped by uniforms.
It is my opinion that all schools should have a policy requiring uniforms. Uniforms give everystudent an equal chance.
