The other case for school uniform.

Ever wondered why the president of the United States wears the same shade suits? Do you remember the furore caused by his wearing of that 'tan' suit, early this year? Well, he explained his reasoning to Vanity Fair:

“You’ll see I wear only gray or blue suits...I’m trying to pare down decisions. I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing, because I have too many other decisions to make.”

This argument is supported by science. Two college professors who have studied decision-making, Kathleen Vohs and Barry Schwartz, found that we have a limited amount of brain stamina each day. It makes sense to say, the more decisions we make, the weaker our ability to make decisions.

Schwartz told The LA Times: "The mere act of thinking about whether you prefer A or B tires you out,...If I have lifted weights in a gym, later trying to lift a 30-pound weight is impossible."

So lets help feed our children's brain power, by giving them one less thing to have to think about!
