School Uniforms Ethos

School uniforms are a very diverse topic today. Many people people believe that they are very beneficial, but others may argue that they are irrelevant. Schools implementing strict dress codes, or uniforms, is a good decision because it prevents students from bullying each other based on appearance, and it may help some families financial situations.

The first major reason for not wearing school uniforms is, it forces a student to conceal his or her individuality. To many people, it appears that the school system is trying to strip away this individuality on purpose, but now is the time that the school should be embracing it and helping the student become the person they are meant to become. “According to opponents of uniforms, even preschoolers should have input into their wardrobe, and the need to encourage personality, confidence, and independence grows more important as the student becomes older” (Chen). Because of this lack of self-expression, students feel their first amendment is being violated and most people would agree, which causes the school to look bad. Another way of looking at it is they are forcing students to become on mold, or one certain way of being. However, the problem with making them one is, no matter how they look they will still have their own individual personality traits that will come out in the end. If forced to wear the uniforms, many students would express these traits by adding things to their uniform such as brightly colored gems for girls and different

In high school students use their outfits to show their individual characteristics. Many have the money to buy the stylish clothes but do not because they would rather have something they find more appealing. Not to mention trends set today are primarily focused on people with a certain body type. Thus resulting in the factor that even if the family had the money to buy the certain item many students would refuse it due to the fact that they do not feel comfortable in it. Instead of being able to individualize themselves many children get bullied because they are forced to fit in with the crowd to please them. Penrod once said “For the sake of [individual] kids, we all need to “lay off” a little” (762) showing how this is not the most important topic right

In addition, many schools make their students wear uniforms so that there is a sense of sameness throughout the school. Unfortunately, by doing this, students’ freedom and self-expression are taken away. In fact, a school inspector in Sweden states that “dress and appearance should be considered an individual expression, decided by the students themselves” (“School Uniforms”). Many teens use clothing, hair, and makeup to express themselves and make them stand out from others. By wearing a school uniform, students can no longer show their true colors and are forced to look like everyone else.

Are school uniforms good or bad? This is an issue that has been going on for years. There are many different reasons for school uniforms. Some say having a school uniform helps to prevent violence and others say it prevents originality. Some also say it’ll help lower or rise the cost for parents. A common argument today is whether or not uniforms should be enforced in the public school system.

If there was a person who were to care so much about their clothes should just drop out of school and start becoming a model or get a job in a fashion store because students go to school for learning and getting an education, not for showing off their clothes and keeping up with the fashion trends. As there are many problems in schools that students tend to wear outfits that show too much skin, which can be really distracting to other students from learning. School is not an area for students to show off each others fashion, nor wealth nor privileges.Today, there are too many students that get distracted by the popularity and think about what they can do to fit in. The way students dress themselves can easily be seen by others from what they need and what they don’t. Therefore, school uniforms can help students to spend their time expressing themselves through other ways such their academics, sports, achievements and

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

Students all over the world have to wear school uniforms. To me, they don’t seem necessary. In a lot of cases, they make more problems than they help solve. I think it is more sensible for students to wear their own clothes. There are many examples on debate.org and procon.org of why students shouldn’t wear school uniforms.

For example, “A national 2013 survey of 517 US school leaders found that 94% of those surveyed believe ‘one of the main benefits to parents is that school uniforms are more cost-effective than regular apparel,’ and 77% estimated the average annual cost of school uniforms per child to be $150 or less” (“School Uniforms”). The lower cost of the school uniform is a larger benefit. Instead of gruesome shopping with your child and spending a large amount as well, you can save yourself the time and purchase one simple uniform. Also, not having a variety of clothes makes mornings easier for the parents and children. There would be significantly less arguments over what the child should wear to school that day. School uniforms cause less stress, and save a parent’s money for other things. An article says about the validation of school uniforms:

Buying two or three uniforms, on average costing fifty dollars, per student parents spend about one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five dollars per year. Parents with students enrolled in non-uniform schools spend almost two hundred dollars on wardrobe for each student in school. Not only is dressing non-uniform students more expensive, but more competitive. Students that dress the same are on the same playing field, students who wear what they choose are more likely to be economically singled out and bullied. By taking away the economic stamps of students, the schools are giving their students an equal playing

Many people believe that school uniforms are not good for child development, but are they true? What many people do not realize is that by wearing school uniforms, kids are expressing themselves. Every person has their own opinion about school uniforms. All primary and secondary schools should have uniforms.

School uniforms should definitely be used in school systems. Uniforms are both good for schools as well as for the students. Wearing uniforms will help build a sense of unity within the school. Instead of everyone as a separate team, everyone will be in the same team. Wearing uniforms will help free students of the stress of what to wear in the morning. Wearing school uniforms will help improve student individuality and improve their self-esteem.

Regardless of whether the school is private or public, the use of school uniforms should be executed as a way to promote an environment that helps students get the most out of their school education.

Uniforms in schools are a big debate around the world. Should we have uniforms in schools? The answer is yes because uniform help the schools. They bring to table a great deal of help because students are getting bullied, killed, and some may not have as much as other when shopping for clothes. Having uniforms bring safety to schools and what goes on after school.

With that being said, teenagers tend to feel that they need to express themselves anyway possible to stay relevant and get a better chance at the hierarchy of popularity that is almost always a necessity when it comes to your peers and acceptance in schools. What Better way to do that then at school with their appearance.
