Why We Shouldn T Wear Uniforms

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

Having school uniforms greatly decrease one’s way to get bullied. “Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it's hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you're dressed exactly the same...” (Should Students Have to Wear School Uniforms?). With the same as gang violence, having uniforms does not get rid of bullying altogether. With my experiences in both non-uniform and uniform enforced schools, I saw far less bullying in schools with uniforms. Most of the bullying incidents I have seen are focused on the kid’s appearance due to clothing. Having the uniforms can help students look at each other in a more equal

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

School uniforms are also a financial burden for the families who earn very little money. School violence may still happen if they had school uniforms or not, students may be discouraged to, but if they have strong enough feelings they will not adhere to the rules anyway. Students do not all feel like they belong just because of the school uniforms, they feel like they belong because of the people and community around them, not the things they wear. If you had a uniform, you would be missing out on a valuable life skill, dressing. You need the ability to dress because you will use it a lot when you are finally out of

Uniforms takes our right to express ourselves. Students should be allowed to wear outfits that let them express their personality. I for one believe that nobody would like to wear outfits to school that boring and dull. Also because if students wear uniform some of the students will think that they do not look good and that will cause them to keep on thinking about what will others think of them and it will maybe cause them to have very low self esteem and cause them to start becoming isolated and become an introverted person.

School uniforms and dress codes are becoming a popular trend among schools. Most Students and some parents don’t agree with the enforcement with school uniforms, saying that uniforms are taking away self-expression in schools. But, school uniforms are not a negative thing to have. Yes, uniforms and some very strict dress codes limit what the students have to choose to wear to school every day, but it doesn’t limit them from learning which is the main reason they are in school. Some students treat school as a fashion show, so eliminating the size of wardrobe shifts the attention toward their school work. Although requiring students to wear school uniforms may violate their self-expression in some ways, a uniform is supposed to be looked

This is because some student believe that if you make secondary school change to school uniforms than you take away a student’s right to express themselves. This is almost funny to some parents or even some students of higher age. When at school it really shouldn’t matter what you wear because you are at school to learn, not to show off your clothes and make a fuss over who is more popular because of it. This is what causes our children to be bullied, harassed because of gangs ( mostly seen in colleges), or just plain scared of other students causing major social skills

In summary, schools should not have uniforms. They do not allow students to express themselves. Also, they teach conformity over individuality. In addition to being useless in schools, they do not improve attendance, academic preparedness, or test results. Really, they do not improve anything. If you were a principal, would you enforce a uniform

oppose school uniforms. One of my reasons is that School uniforms restricted students freedom of

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.

These people just want the best for students and they do not want them to get hurt, physically, mentally, or emotionally. Teens often judge each other based on how someone looks or how they dress. When everyone is in the same outfit, students have less to judge you by. And when there are less judgmental thoughts going around, people are happier and less bullying goes on. Unfortunately, it is not always this fine and dandy. People can always tell what you really look like, even with a uniform on. Others may argue that when students all wear uniforms, they come together and will feel a stronger sense of social unity. But, can students not feel unity when they attend a school sponsored game, activity, pep rally, dance, or just when they are trying to get through life in general? The last argument that opponents make, is that uniforms help students focus more on academics. William Weld, former Massachusetts governor agreed with this when he acknowledged, “Whether students are in first grade or eighth grade, they are all in school for the same reason -- to learn. And too often clothes distract kids from this goal.” (Cruz 8-9) WHen students do not have to worry about the latest fashion trends, they focus more on their academic studies and less of designer handbags, shoes, or jewelry. Unfortunately, students can also focus on things like hair, makeup, teeth, nails, etc. So, if administrators

Uniforms have been around for centuries, from back in the day when women had to wear dresses or skirts and men had to wear pants. To now where students and employees have to wear certain pieces of clothing. People dress to express themselves, schools tell their students to be who they are and to be proud; however, when the student tries to do so they are sent home or held in the office which not only takes away their rights to express themselves, but takes them out of class. According to Friedrichs, “A shocking number of students are actually sent home or suspended for breaking dress code, which means even more time out of class.” A school's job is to prepare children for their futures, that can be quite hard when the student is not there to learn. Dress codes can be overwhelming to maintain. A student's wardrobe isn’t going to be full of polos and khakis because they most likely do not wear polos and khakis outside of school. Dress code should not be as strict, hoodies should be allowed, tank tops should be

What people choose to specifically put on and how they present themselves, they make a decision every single day of their lives. Sometimes, it allows people to express themselves and show the outside world who they genuinely are. However, other times it allows people to become an entirely different person for example, if the clothing doubles as a costume for a play or theatrical event. Clothing has a significant impact on people and their behavior than majority people would like to consider. For example, school. School, in which students are surrounded by teachers and peers. Peers who will make fun of others if the clothing is not from a specific store or if it does not parallel the “in” style. These hurtful comments can drag down self-esteem and confidence and affect how well they are able to participate and focus on their studies. Implementing a school uniforms in public school can benefit the school and the students academically in their grades, behavior in the classrooms, and confident interaction with their peers.

etting bullied, losing identities, and getting poor grades, are all the things school uniforms could cause. Some schools demand that students have to wear uniforms. The students don’t like to wear them. That is why we have to make a stand today! If there were school uniforms everywhere students would not be able to express their self, it would not change any academics, and they could attract an unpleasant name to the school.

Many schools enforce school uniforms. This might be a horrible and negative thing towards parents and their children. But, school uniforms aren't actually that bad. School uniforms are required in many school across the U.S and the world. They date all the way back to England in 1222. Uniforms were worn to be more classy and appropriate while in school. They are mostly worn in private schools but still can be used in public schools. Now, schools still incorporate uniforms because they have many benefits to them. School uniforms are useful for schools and families because it saves time in the morning, it saves money in the long run, and students can still be unique besides appearance.
