School Uniforms

If I was called to the principal’s office to share my thoughts and options on whether we should have a school uniform. I would have to go agents this argument because that would be a waste of money to keep having to buy more uniforms I think it would be good for a middle school or elementary school but not a High School and none of the students would want to wear them.

 Uniforms are not cheap and this is a good reason to be against school uniforms. Because students are constantly growing and not fitting in there cloths, there is a captive market for new school clothes and manufacturers take advantage. However, large volume manufacturers are producing very cheap clothing for younger pupils at the moment so this argument against school uniforms may not stand up to too much scrutiny. A uniform breeds uniformity.

We need free thinking students to become the thinkers of tomorrow, not drones who will continue making the mistakes of previous generations. When we argue against school uniforms we argue against an education system that seeks to produce workers and for an education system that seeks to produce enlightened fully rounded human beings. Schools that say uniforms will cut down on bullying are wrong because no whatever what students will always find a way to pass judgment upon their peers. The clothes are not the main cause of bullying and therefore the bullying will continue, regardless of dress policy.

 No matter what clothing rules apply, students will always find ways to pass judgment upon each other. School uniforms would mess up people’s lives because Students in school need to learn to express themselves, and their wardrobe choices are one way of doing this. When they force every student to dress just like all his peers, we take away his / her freedom to choose how a student wants to represent themselves through his clothing. Additionally, some uniforms may conflict with a student's religious beliefs and practices regarding proper attire.

If we had to wear them then the teachers would have an even harder time with students because they will argue about tucking in their shirts and about sagging. School administration may require a school uniform when it has an overwhelming need to put into place. That would be agreeable, but to put school uniforms into effect a vote must occur with the parents of the school district before bringing the idea up with the school board
