School Uniforms: Yes or No?
A very controversial topic involving students is whether or not school uniforms should be mandatory or whether a normal to strict dress code would suffice. The opinions vary, and as of now mainly private schools have dress codes where as most public school do not. There are pros and cons to the uniform, which will be discussed.
One argument against school uniforms would be the creativity and self-expression that kids and teenagers like to express and show through clothes, make-up, shoes, etc. would be taken away. Self-expression is a key and vital part of growing up and finding yourself, and it'd be a lot harder if that was taken away.
Pros of having a school uniform would be taking away differences between students and unifying everyone. A major issue in schools today is the way some students get bullied or outcast for being different, not having the right clothes, or enough money. Taking that away would make all the students equal in at least one way, regarding what they wear.
There will always be a question of whether or not to have uniforms, I think. It's really just a personal choice. I personally just believe that it would be beneficial to the students overall. Structure is always a good thing, and taking away a major part of the reason kids get picked on is a major reason uniforms are a "yes" for me.
Gabe,
ReplyDeleteYou and I both had the same outlook on reasoning for school uniforms. The situations that could be solved just by requiring students to wear uniforms are endless. I agree with you, and I certainly think that uniforms should be mandatory for every public and private school! Let's make it happen!
