The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.
The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.
In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"
Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.
The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.

School uniforms help create equality in schools in many aspects. For instance, many students are judged by how they dress themselves in school. This will create a division between the wealthier students and the less wealthy, as they feel that the other group cannot belong with their group. Having uniforms will help bring the students together because you cannot judge a person’s economic and social background from the same uniform. This will also help students interact more so they are not scared of being judge mental by others though clothing. Thus, the uniforms help make the teachers and staff focus on teaching. They cannot see the students based on the designer or thrift clothing they wear, so favoritism is lowered. Since the students receiving equality attention and teaching form teachers, they will moreover have a better education experience.
