School Uniforms Help Improve The Learning Environment

School uniforms do nothing to prevent bullying. Linne Hoofnagle’s article goes on to say that, “If we convince ourselves that placing limits on clothing choices will eliminate school bullying, we are kidding ourselves” (Hoofnagle). The idea that all the harassment that takes place in school is centered around student’s wardrobes is preposterous. If you make students all dress alike the center of the bullying may move to if they have money, the presence or absence of glasses, condition of their skin, height, and weight. School faculty and administration are just looking at the superficial causes of bullying and not looking at the root of the problem. As a result, they are not only punishing the bully by

Every year around August and September school comes around, and that means shopping. It’s a day before school begins and no worries. The school uniform policy requires for the student just have 4 blue polo shirts and brown, blue, or black khakis for the males and khakis or a plaid skirt for the females. When school uniforms topics are brought up in the United States most people are not in favor. If only they took a closer consideration what school uniforms bring to the table that mind set would be transformed. We as a country should adopt an open mind because we can take a few notes from other countries whom have already adopted school uniforms into their public education regimen. This is one reason public schools in the United States should make school uniforms mandatory in public schools.

In public schools, the prevalence of wearing school uniforms persists to rise in the USA, as school administrators and parents set forth efforts for making our schools a secure place for the children. However, making school uniform mandatory for all children do deny them their freedom of expression to dress in accord to their choices. Virtually 20% of all public schools in the USA have adopted mandates of school uniform. A survey conducted by the National Survey of School Leaders divulges Uniform Trends in 2013, reveal that there is a stable increase of formal dress or uniform code policies in schools. Leaders at the school who were surveyed infer that their existing uniform code policy had a major reduction on bullying by 64 percent and peer pressure by 86 percent (NAESP, 2013) So all public schools should adopt a school uniform policy as it provides a more secure environment in school and motivates students to concentrate more on studies and keep them away from various distractions

Never once was there a time that I walked down the hallways at school without hearing at least one kid get picked on about their clothes. Everyone knew the popular kids from the weird kids, the rich from the poor, and the nerds from the jocks based on their clothing alone. Our school was divided into social groups because of clothing types. Then we got school uniforms. Once we got them, the school became more peaceful. No one got picked on because of their clothes; that was because we all dressed the same. The amount of bullying went down and the sense of kindness soon began to fill the school. The utilization of school uniforms in public schools creates many benefits for students.

What people wear is very important because it does only effect a person at an personal level, but it also has a strong impact on the surrounding individuals or the society at large. Even with such knowledge, there has been increased debate about whether wearing of uniforms only add up to authoritarianism at school and makes the learners feel dictated upon (Yeneyama 124) or it is useful and should be upheld. What learners and those opposed to uniforms probably do not know is that, school uniform increases discipline, heightens levels of learning and conforms the student to the school rules, which then improves performance. Again, school uniform acts as a means through which young people can be protected from gangs especially because some gang attires can easily be infused into the common dressing trends leading to insecurity of the learner (NBC News.com n.p). In this discussion, the study looks into some of the articles that have been written over this subject and through these information, an understanding as to why school uniforms are important is thus unveiled.

By requiring school uniforms, school bullying should drastically decrease. The reason being, many students who are unable to afford up to date and trendy cloths are often

In the article “Do uniforms make schools better”, Marian Wilde states that in the past decade, school, parents and students had clashed over the issue of regulating student attire. In the 1980s, public schools were often compared to Catholic schools for no reason. So some of the public school decided to adopt the school uniform policy. In 1996, President Clinton provided momentum to the school uniform movement in his 1996 State of the Union Speech. President Clinton said “ If it means teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms.” There is some pros and cons for having school uniforms. Some pros for school uniforms would be to help identify intruders easily, prevent gangs from forming on campus, and increase a sense of belonging and school pride. Some cons for school uniforms would be violating a student’s right to freedom of expression, making a student a target for bullies from other school, and it’s an unfair additional expense for parents. School uniforms shouldn’t be required at schools, especially at Kailua High School.

“If it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear uniforms” This statement from Bill Clinton was what started a movement toward using uniforms in-state school in the United States in 1996. Since then school uniforms have become a common thing in the school system in the United States. There is no doubt that school uniforms can lead to loss of students’ rights to express themselves and that school uniforms will not generally stop bullying even though they might increase student’s safety.

Everyday we see more and more students bullied because of their appearance or what they're wearing. By implementing school uniforms, we can greatly decrease the number of students who are bullied every day. In the article, “Appearances are Destructive,” Mark Mathabane (the author) tells us how his sisters were bullied because what they wore was “unusual.” “They were constantly taunted… they often

In many schools all over the world bullying has become a major issue. In most cases kids are bullied because of what brand they wear or what clothes they have on. If they don’t conform or wear mainstream styles, they can be harassed or picked on. Scott Imberman, economics

Whether or not to introduce the policy of uniforms in public schools can be very controversial as there are many factors in which uniforms can benefit or cause harm. There are many evidences present in "Do School Uniforms Make Schools Better?" by Marian Wilde and is present in the graphic entitled "Do School Uniforms Make Kids More or Less Competitive About Clothing." Undoubtedly, requiring students to wear uniforms will only violate a student's freedom of expression and is not linked to academic achievement whatsoever.

In the article “Do Uniforms Make Schools Better,” the author writes about the pros and cons of school uniforms. Wilde begins the article by acknowledging that many researches are divided on that idea that school uniforms provide a better learning environment. She then goes on to state why some public schools have uniforms; due to the unfavorable comparison of private Catholic schools to public schools. The author states some pros of school uniforms, such as, helping identify intruders, help resist peer pressure from buying trendy clothing, and a sense of school pride. She also states some cons of school uniforms like violating a student’s right to freedom of expression, a financial burden to poor families, and make students a target for bullies

Imagine being bullied for what you wear because of your family's financial situation, many kids are often bullied because of their outfits. If schools required uniforms, less kids would be bullied for what they wear.

Schools are trying to counter bullying in multiple ways so children can feel safe both at and away from school. Many people believe that by removing differences between students particularly in middle school and high school, opportunities for bullying will be diminished. One solution is school uniforms, which are thought to help maintain equality among students. However, uniforms do not significantly help in reducing differences between students and only serve to restrict students’ freedom of expression and cost large sums of money which can create difficulties for low-income families.
