Persuasive Speech On School Uniforms

“Congress shall make no law... prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech...”. This is what our first amendment speaks about. The freedom of speech and expression. Schools have been violating this law in the place of school dress codes. There should not be a dress code in school because it violates the first amendment, they do not support creativity and they are expensive.

Uniforms violate our first amendment. It doesn’t let students be themselves in the way they want to dress. There are pros about having uniform, but there are more cons because clothes don’t break rules. Students should not be required to wear school uniform.

School uniforms also serve little to no purpose in benefiting the education of children around America. A uniform does not help a student learn things that they need to know. A uniform does not help a student study, take notes, or make flash cards. They bring no educational value to the table of learning. According to many educators and experts, “Uniforms do not improve academics, behavioral and social outcomes, or reduce discrimination or crime” (Farrell). So if a uniform cannot help a student increase their knowledge or grow as a person, why make students wear them?

People say you are what you wear. Well, uniforms are expensive and are a violation of human rights, even though it’s professional and sober clothing, they don’t allow students to express who they are, so how are they supposed to be what they wear? People say it prevents bullying, but bullying can happen without uniform. School uniform promotes conformity over individuality. They are difficult to enforce in public schools. It is more money to pay for uniforms and normal clothes outside of school. There really isn’t a uniform in real life like working if you work as a janitor at a school it doesn’t matter what you wear it matters that you get the job done.

First, school uniforms take away the students freedom of expression. The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees that all individuals have the right to express themselves freely. This points out, that by making everyone wear the same clothes, it takes away expressing who they are. Your clothes say a lot about who you are as a person and what personality you have and when you take that away, you take away the chance to express yourself.

Your eyes open from what appeared to be a quick nap but to your dismay, you aren’t in your own bed but rather a cold, stiff hospital bed. Faint whiffs of garbage are emanating from your hair. How you ended up in the hospital you have no idea but somehow you think it is related to the unusual pain and soreness you feel near your pelvic area. Your heart is now racing as fragments of your memory from last night are piecing together. Your cousin brought you to a party to help you get over the ex boyfriend you were ceaselessly sobbing about. There was also a boy who followed you into the bathroom when you were vomiting, then a park, and then your memory goes blank again. The second you unlock your phone, you are bombarded with pictures all over social media of you sprawled on the ground and the boy you visualized from your memory. Your

I am here today to announce that I Isadora Alves de Paula will be running for the presidency in the Sprague’s/Lyon’s Government class.

Have you ever had to wear a school uniform? Did you you love it, or hate it? I’m here today to explain my stance on school uniforms. I believe that having a school uniform would be a good thing for multiple reasons. The first being how it would completely and utterly eradicate the issue of dress code. The next reason is how it would be able to create a more focused learning environment by eliminating clothing distractions. The most important reason in my mind however, is how it could drastically increase student safety at school. Now I will go a bit more in depth as I explain these reasons…

You get up in the morning to put on the exact same outfit over and over again. You walk into school and everyone looks the same. Same colored polos and plaid skirts or khaki pants. You’ll be wearing this every day, every week, and for the entire school year. Boring. Not only do parents have to buy regular clothes for their kids, now they have to buy school uniforms for their kids to wear to school every day. Every family will not be able to afford these school uniforms along with regular clothes. You will look exactly like everyone else.

Today, many schools around the world enforce uniforms, requiring students to wear specific clothing. School uniforms, which was first established in 16th century England, are a topic of much debate in the public school system of the United States. Many people feel that uniforms reduce competition among students and bring a sense of unity in school. People who are against school uniforms think that they prevent students from expressing themselves and inhibits creativity. Many students dislike school uniforms because uniforms can be viewed as a violation of their rights, while others benefit from uniforms because it relieves the stress of picking what to wear to school. Although school uniforms do have its benefits, they also limit

Ever wonder what it would look like to have all students wearing the same white polo shirt, black pants, and a district sweater walking in the hallway? Nowadays, public school and many districts are discussing the possibilities of enforcing the uniform policy. In most places, many private schools already require students to have their mandatory uniforms; however, there are only a few public schools adopting this mandatory school-uniform polices as one of their enrollment requirements. The reason why not all public schools participated was because people believe that they are violating the freedom of choice when enforcing this mandatory uniform policy; yet problems

School Uniforms are being pushed more and more in schools, but what is commonly thought of when the words “school uniform” is said? For most people the picture of children in the same colored uniforms gathered in front of a Catholic Church or a private school is displayed in their mind. This picture is one of the many problems with school uniforms. Instead of being seen as an individual, students are seen as just another kid in a uniform attending a fancy private school. The students cannot develop the self-expression that is crucial to their development at this age. Uniforms are thought to create a more protected campus and learning environment, however, if someone wants to bully someone else, clothes are not going to stop them. The cost, which is usually seen as a pro, can actually be more than people anticipate. As one can see, in the best interest of any student, school uniforms should not be made part of the dress code.

“Remember to bring professional clothes” was what my teacher said to a class the day before presentations. The response was a simultaneous groan from most of the students as we thought about having to wear dress clothes. However the short amount of time that we had to wear those clothes pales in comparison to all the students that have to use a school uniform. Day in and day out there are schools that require students to wear a specific kind of clothing instead of letting the students have a choice. While a uniform maybe uncomfortable to some it does offer some benefits, however the freedom to choose your own clothing is a better choice as its benefits are more versatile and long lasting.

Students should not have to wear uniforms because most students do not have a lot of money to spend on clothes. When i look at my uniforms i think that teachers do not give us a lot of trust in wearing our clothes. The thing i hate the most about uniforms are the belts, the belts i wear are uncomfortable. Uniforms are like a cage, it is like i am trying to break free from these clothes, it is like I have no freedom. Every single time i enter a classroom my teachers are either trying to get me to tuck in my shirt or put my belt on. Uniforms should not be worn at school because some students do not have a lot of money.
