16 Comments on “School uniforms

  1. A uniform is an outfit that is worn mostly in school. Many people often argue about whether it is good or not. Some say that it must be worn by students to showcase that they are a part of the school’s community and that it can help students that can’t afford to buy clothes from being criticized and bullied. Others say that sometimes uniforms are really expensive to afford.
    Many parents agree with the idea of students not wearing uniforms, for several reasons like: A uniform can be really expensive, it can be really hard to clean, it can be a tiring process because parents may have to buy different uniforms for each season and maybe kids don’t like wearing it at all.
    On the other hand, some parents agree with the idea of uniforms .They argue that poor families who can’t afford clothes can be comforted with uniforms and with in this way, some kids avoid being victims of bullying from other students. Uniforms demonstrate that children belong in the school community and in a working environment.
    My opinion is that students shouldn’t wear uniforms. Because children have the right to wear whatever they want and also enjoy it. However I think that having some rules isn’t a bad idea, so that students can wear whatever they want but still show that they are a part of the school’s community. For example kids can have a say to the school’s uniform

  2. Should students wear school uniforms? In a lot of schools (like private schools)students wear uniforms. But in other schools they don’t. So a big question is if students should wear school uniforms. One reason for students to wear school uniforms is that it’s cheaper than buying cloths and cleaning them. Another reason is that if someone is poor, the uniforms could help them so they wouldn’t have to waste so much money on clothes. One reason for students to not wear school uniforms is that we all want to look different and that we all like different types of clothes. Nobody wants to look the same with everybody else. I think that students shouldn’t wear school uniforms because I don’t want everybody to look the same.

  3. Uniforms are worn in schools all over the world but they are usually used in private schools. All the uniforms are different but they are all beautiful and they usually have the symbol of the school on them. Having a school uniform has positive and negative effects.
    Some positive effects of wearing school uniforms are: No one is bullying others because he/she is not wearing expensive clothes from famous stores or from other countries. Another reason is that they feel like they are in a big team and that they work together for the same purpose. They do not have the stress (especially girls) for what they will wear tomorrow at school, if they wore it yesterday or two days ago and they are modestly dressed because they are wearing a uniform and uniforms aren’t made to provoke.
    There are negative things too for wearing a uniform. The girls can’t wear big jewelry, they can wear just tiny earrings. You have to pay more money to buy uniforms because they are expensive and you need plenty of them because they might get dirty. Another negative aspect is that students can’t do extreme styles or colour their hair as they want, so they can’t show their character from their style.
    From what I wrote above, the choice is difficult to make as there are lots of positive and negative points to consider. However, in my opinion, students shouldn’t wear school uniforms because they don’t have the freedom of their style as they have now at schools.

  4. Some schools have a policy stating that students must wear uniforms to class. School uniforms are most commonly seen in private schools, but are becoming more common in public schools in England. Many schools say uniforms make it easier for students to focus in class, and that uniforms promote inclusion. But some students think uniforms are uncomfortable, and that kids should have the freedom to express their personality through their clothing.
    Many people believe uniforms are as much about safety as they are about inclusion. Teachers don’t have to worry about losing sight of students at the playground or on a field trip. Also, when kids wear uniforms, both the older and younger students feel like they are part of the same group. They also believe that it is harder to bully someone about his or her clothes if they are all wearing the same thing. When all students are dressed the same, they don’t have to worry about how they look or about wearing the latest trend.
    On the other hand there are people who believe that kids shouldn’t have to wear a uniform. If students are wearing the exact same thing, they can’t express themselves. Kids should feel like they can be their own person. They shouldn’t have to match. During school hours, we should also be comfortable.
    Wearing the uniform no student will be different from the other . With this way there will be no bulling . Also wearing uniforms will free students from the stress of what to wear in the morning. Wearing school uniforms will help improve student individuality and improve their self-esteem.
    In conclusion wearing a school uniform makes children proud to be part of their school because it curbs alienation, helps to form class/school unity and differentiates between the students and teachers.

  5. What about shcool uniforms?
    A school uniform is a set of clothing students wear when they go to some schools. In some countries, like Germany, students can wear anything they like when they go to school. In other countries, like England, there is usually a dress code in school, usually a special clothing for girls and one for boys.Originally, school uniforms were introduced to hide the social differences between students, but uniforms can also help with safety. Using uniforms can also save the money needed to buy extra clothes.The negative of the case is that some children are being bullied because of the fact that they are wearing a school uniform. Something that bothers me is that schools force kids to wear school uniforms without even being asked if they want or like to wear them.My opinion about school uniforms is simple. I believe that children should not wear school uniforms because it makes them think that they are not special and that they do not have something different from the others and maybe makes them follow other bad behaviors of other children because I say again they believe that everything should be done the same way another kid does them.

  6. In my opinion school uniforms are not necessary. I think that most people believe that wearing a uniform makes you come closer with the school. But some times it can be hard for thee kids. Wearing a uniform doesn’t seem very comfortable to me. But schools with uniforms are mostly more aristocratic and things are harder there. Well, I don’t think its a bad things either. Sometimes this makes the school better, when all the kids wear the same clothes. I don’t think anythings needs to change, i believe people should wear uniforms only in private schools.

  7. School uniforms are a tradition that comes from the 16th century. Schools choose their own uniform and, because of that, there are many different types of them. Also, some schools prefer to have a different type of uniforms between the two genders. In America, the school uniform started spreading over when President Clinton recommended it to all schools, private and public, in 1996. Nowadays there is a debate if there should be school uniforms.
    On the one hand, by wearing a school uniform, kids don’t worry about what they are wearing and concentrate on their lessons. But my opinion is that it makes the students feel uncomfortable because they don’t feel free to express themselves by wearing what they want.
    On the other hand, school uniforms help the students feel like they belong somewhere and that they are part of a team. However, buying a uniform can cost a lot of money and the parents might not be able to afford them which may lead to difficult situations.
    Choosing a school uniform can solve some problems but not all students accept it. I don’t prefer school uniforms and I believe that it is better for the students to wear what they want.

  8. In the old days, school uniforms used to be obligatory in all schools worldwide. Every student had to wear it every day. Most of the times, school uniforms were different for boys and different for girls but sometimes they were the same. Nowadays, most of the schools don’t have school uniforms, but there are some private schools where children must wear them.
    School uniforms are in some way good because in schools children aren’t financially equal. There are some rich children and some poor children and many times poor children get bullied of what they wear. For example, they don’t wear popular brands .So school uniforms help poor children not get bullied. Also, this helps parents not to pay so much money in kid’s clothes. Therefore, children won’t be stressed to choose what to wear. Sometimes, in events, school uniforms will help students/teachers find their students because school uniforms aren’t the same from school to school. Additionally, school uniforms make children not think that they are ugly because of the clothes they wear.
    However, school uniforms aren’t always good. They stop students from trying to be different. Some would argue that it doesn’t matter if you wear the same clothes .I disagree! To be different is something that makes life interesting. To be different helps our world to go on and find new things .For example, Graham Bell was different from others and he tried to find something to help us communicate with other people. So thanks to him, we have phones right now .It’s the same with children. Children is our future and if they aren’t creative we wouldn’t have anything new. Also what you wear is a way to express your personality so school uniforms stop students from expressing their feelings. Some schools force students wear uniforms out of the school too, as a way of advertising the school.
    In my opinion, students shouldn’t wear school uniforms every day. It would be nice to have a school uniform for special events and parades , but not for every day.

  9. Nowadays it is questioned whether students should wear uniforms at school. There are advantages and disadvantages and I personally believe that this is an interesting subject to discuss. In my view, children should wear uniforms at school for many reasons.
    To begin with, if that happened, it would be easier for teachers to recognize their students. For example, if the class went on a school excursion, the teacher could understand which and where her kids would be because they would wear uniforms. As a result, school trips would be safer for children.
    Secondly, uniforms could put an end to some bullying scenarios. What I mean is that now, because students wear whatever they want when they go to school, some of them unfortunately get bullied. Such as kids with financially unstable families that cannot afford “trendy”, in other words, expensive clothes. Consequently, that does not only affect children, it also affects parents through children. That happens because the student that gets bullied blames his parents for not having expensive clothes to wear. In this way the mom or dad would feel guilty. To my mind, if the parents just bought one uniform, they could save money and avoid bullying at the same time.
    Last but not least, another reason would be that students, especially girls wouldn’t waste their time to answer the eternal question “What am I going to wear to school tomorrow?” Besides, clothing isn’t the main thing about school. Therefore children could focus to more important things, more specifically their homework, their school bag and use their free time to do something more useful.
    To sum up, I am in favor of students wearing uniforms because apart from all these reasons, uniforms make kids feel like they belong somewhere, they feel like they are in a team and I would feel that too, if in my school we wore uniforms.

  10. A lot of students wear school uniforms mainly in private schools. A school uniform has many advantages.
    Firstly it’s because of bullying. Nowadays kids characterize someone’s style and clothes. If someone wears something different from the others, sometimes people find nicknames to bully. With school uniforms all the students wear the same clothes so no one can bully or criticize anyone. Another reason is feeling of belonging. Kids want to belong to a community by wearing the same kind of clothes with their friends. If they don’t maybe they’ll be bullied. Some families don’t have the financial comfort to buy clothes to their child, but school uniform can offer with less money.
    However, some people say that a uniform is expensive and parents have to buy new clothes for every season and every year. Also parents have to wash the uniform all the time so the child can wear it the next day, and that makes the parent tired. Some others say that kids wear uniforms to advertise the school so more people know about it.
    In conclusion, I’m against school uniforms because I believe that students have to wear whatever they like and be comfortable with their clothes and be independent with their style.

  11. Students wear school uniforms throughout the centuries. Nowadays, a common argument is whether students should wear school uniforms . I agree that students wear uniforms for many different reasons. Some reasons for having uniforms are: it would prevent violence, parents will save money and students be less distractive. However, some students believe that they won’t be able to express themselves.
    First, wearing a school uniform will decrease(spelling) violence and especially bullying since everyone will wear the same. Students won’t have to worry about the newest fashion since some cannot afford to buy the latest designer clothes.
    Another reason is that parents won’t have to spend a lot of money buying clothes and keeping children in the latest fashion for school. If the students wear school uniforms, parents won’t have to spend as much on clothes and they will last longer. Students won’t have to worry about who looks better because everyone will wear the same thing.
    Students wearing uniforms are more likely to focus on school work than other students. Most students get distracted because they are busy looking at other students’ designer clothes, shoes or accessories. They will focus more on their school performance and will be more productive.
    In my opinion parents should support the idea of school uniforms although students may be against it. I believe they will eventually realize that it is for the best.

  12. School uniforms have been customary in many countries. Some schools have separate uniforms for males and females or the same uniforms for both genders. However, there are some people that support this idea while some others are against it.
    There are many advantages of wearing school uniforms. First of all, there is a sense of uniformity. This means that all students wear the same clothes which reduces the differences between poor and rich families. It also enforces discipline and as a result, children are focused on studies and not on fashion, which also reduces distractions. Having a uniform also creates a sense of belonging to a certain school, which could motivate children to do their best as a group.
    On the other hand, there are many disadvantages. Wearing uniforms is a threat to individualism. For example, many students might feel getting lost in a huge crowd and it’s hard to distinguish themselves. Also, there is no freedom of expression. For instance, students can’t express their feelings and their own personality through fashion. Finally, there is no evidence uniforms can boost students’ learning capabilities and skills.
    To conclude, although there are some positive points, it is my belief that students shouldn’t be forced to wear a uniform, since, this way they can’t express themselves and their character and might feel discomfort.

  13. A school uniform is a uniform that all students must wear in some schools. Nowadays, there is a big debate about whether they should wear school uniforms. There are many different opinions, but, what’s the right thing to do?
    Some people agree with the fact that students should wear a uniform because bullies won’t bully anyone using their appearance as an excuse. All students will wear the same uniform so that’s no problem. They will focus more on their lessons and they won’t focus on their appearance, that is, to be the most fashionable. They won’t be jealous of someone’s clothes. And they will feel that they belong in the school.
    But some people disagree because, the uniform might be really expensive and they need to buy one for each season. The uniform may be uncomfortable for some kids. When the children don’t wear a uniform, they feel free because they can wear whatever they want and express themselves. It is boring to wear the same clothes every day. And it might be hard to clean.
    Personally, I think that children mustn’t wear uniforms because, they are expensive and uncomfortable. The kids need to have the freedom to wear whatever they want.

  14. In the old days, kids all over the world had to wear the school uniforms and not the clothes that they have at their houses because it was obligatory for students to wear them.

    Wearing school uniforms has certain advantages that we should look into. First, the teachers would be able to see their children from their school because of the uniforms. Secondly, the bullies won’t make fun of other kids’ clothing. Many kids like the school uniforms because they like either the colors or the style. They maybe like to wear every day the same clothes or they don’t have enough money to wear different clothes every day.

    On the other hand a bad thing about the school uniforms is that the children can’t express their style because everyone wears the same clothes every day at school.

    In my opinion school uniforms shouldn’t be necessary to wear because kids would not want to wear the same clothes over and over again. The clothes maybe be dirty because they overuse them in school

  15. In some schools, students wear school uniforms. They might like them or not. School uniforms have advantages and disadvantages.
    First of all, school uniforms are not trendy. Kids cannot always wear the same school uniform every day. They might get dirty or torn. If the uniforms can’t be cleaned or sewed, then the student will not be able to go to school unless he/she has one more uniform.Finally every student has to buy at least one school uniform and spend money.
    On the other hand,it’s good to wear uniforms because students feel that they belong to the school community. Some students can get bullied because of their appearance. If all the students wear a school uniform, no one can get bullied for his/her appearance.It is very important for everyone to feel comfortable at school without getting bullied.
    In conclusion, I believe that there are more disadvantages than advantages of school uniforms, so I think that students shouldn’t wear them.

  16. Should students wear uniforms in schools?
    The students started wearing school uniforms from the 16th century and until now, students wear uniforms in many countries.
    I don’t like watching students wearing school uniforms. It is like they don’t have the right to wear whatever they want. After some weeks, the students will be bored of wearing every day the same clothes. The uniforms need to be repaired in case they are torn. Parents have to wash them every week and it’s getting tiring for them.
    On the other hand, when the students wear uniforms they feel that they belong to school. Each school has a different uniform. If we see someone wearing a school uniform, we will understand the school that he goes to.
    Personally, I disagree with that. School uniforms might have many advantages, but I still believe that students shouldn’t wear them.
