Should we wear uniform to school?

 


wendy86
I agree that students should wear school uniform to school. I believe that by wearing uniform, students will be more even though some students say it is such a hassle. I agree students should wearing uniform because teacher will easily identify the students. Images that there are no name tags, and students are wearing many types of cloth that follow the latest fashion. Maybe all of the teachers will give up because there is no discipline in school. So by wearing uniform , it shows that the students of the school are well-disciplined. Are you agree will my opinion. If not what is you opinion?
Becky
I agree too, even though i absolutely hate my school uniform.
Wearing a school uniform stops people being judged as much for what they wear, also for children who cant afford lots of different clothes, so they would end up wearing the same thing over and over again, it prevents them from being teased/bullied for that.
And, on school trips it helps the teacher identify the students, especially in a place like a museum where lots of other school children may be.

Alot of children don't like wearing school uniform, but for all the years i was at school I didn't mind it. Uniforms are better as it makes the pupils look less scruffy, and it shows that they belong to the school.
I also agree that it stops people being descriminated against because of what they wear, and also, that school uniforms are good because they have loads of pockets to put stuff in.

My uniform has NO pockets Wink

At my school many people I know want uniforms. Most of them think they are cute Smile I agree that uniforms are a good idea, because of all the reasons previously posted. Also because it's convenient, you wouldn't need to decide what to wear!

The only downside is that uniforms, you have to buy them, are very expensive. Maybe if they had some kind of program to help poorer kids buy them, it would be just fine.

There is a program to help the poorer kids (or people whos parents/parent doesnt work like mine or are n benefits) in the UK, i get an allowance once a year to help purchace the uniform. Very Happy

NO because it is your own right to wear what you want
I don't know why people are trying to make you wear what threy want
it should be your choice.

You make a good point, about expressing yourself and individuality. But that can be done in many other ways. Such as actually talking to people and telling them what you think/getting to know them, maybe putting up your art work, i.e. doing something that really stands out. Not just wearing cool clothes.....

I think uniform is a good idea. On the few days we don't have to wear uniform at my school, everyone gets rowdy.

However, it should be a sensible uniform, unlike the bright green one my school has. Embarassed

But that's not strictly true - you shouldn't have free reign over what you wear in all situations. It's good training for later life. Like, if you work in an office, then you're going to have to wear a shirt and maybe a tie. It's not your choice, but you wear it because that's what is right.

School uniform has lots of benefits which have already been mentioned. I can understand why kids don't always think a uniform is a good thing, but it certainly makes sense as you get older.

You already have a ****-load of tags on you anyway. Most schools just choose a generic blazer which looks like all the rest anyway.

Most, but not all. See my earlier comments about bright geen uniforms. >_>

The reason for these things is that the possession of rights is not a monolithic concept: when one has rights, one also has responsibilities. In this case, you have the right to pursue and education at a government or private school. Whichever school you attend, your right to that education is balanced by the responsibility to follow the rules of that school. If that school imposes a dress code of any kind, including uniforms, you have the responsibility to follow that code or you encounter the third concept that goes with rights and responsibilities: consequences for your actions.

Furthermore, the right to wear whatever you want is also subject to other responsibilities, such as the responsibility to obey the law. Thus, if you decide that your clothing for the day will be a single strip of Scotch tape, you will quickly learn (if you do go to school like that) that you have also violated your responsibility to obey the law against indecent exposure, and will suffer additional consequences.

Sure, they could be more even, but they'll never be totally even. Some will still have crappy haircuts, some will have beautiful colors in their hair and some will have to live with ugly facial features or pimples. It's part of life. Everybody isn't equal.

[quote="wendy86"]

I agree students should wearing uniform because teacher will easily identify the students.
Quote:

Actually, the opposite is true. For example, at the park I noticed a friend just because he had a white undershirt hanging down lower than his overshirt. He was also wearing the same style pants he normally does. If everyone dresses the same there's less to look for to identify them.

[quote="wendy86"]Maybe all of the teachers will give up because there is no discipline in school. So by wearing uniform , it shows that the students of the school are well-disciplined. Are you agree will my opinion. If not what is you opinion?

In theory, that sounds great, but I just graduated high school, and we never had to wear uniforms like some private and public schools do. In fact, we hardly had a dress code and could wear hats. We were and still are one of the top schools in America in academics and behavior.
Andrew426
I think its a good idea.

Gives school pride and respect.

I think Uniforms at school is stupid man, we should dress like we want everywhere we go, i mean what's the thing about it. Do they think we are in prison? lol Anyways, i hope i've prooven a point to this topic. Later Very Happy
Mysterious Euphony
Although I despise my school uniform with a passion, I must say that I think wearing a uniform is a good concept. It identifies a body of pupils well, and occasionally enhances the reputation of the school that wears it.

I mean, it's school. Uniform is just ONE more constraint that we have to deal with. And unless you have an opulent and large wardrobe where you never wear something twice in a term or month, casual wear at school is just a little absurd. I am biased - I must admit that, having only worn casual clothing to school on mufti or fundraiser days which number about four to seven every year - but it's just my opinion. Smile
soulman
it's not necessary to wear uniform after high school, but before that, a uniform is a very good concept to help pupils to keep them concentrate on their study but not fashion, aviod them to have jealousness with others. Although some of the uniforms svck but you cannot choose to leave it...
Ducksteina
I'm against wearing uniforms at school.
Nobody should be allowed to decide how you look except you. Wearing an uniform makes you just like the other people - you can't express your personality if you wear the same like everybody else.
Also, a grey uniform makes even the most beautiful girl ugly.
-> wear whatever you want!
Nyizsa
I say that school uniforms are good, although I have never worn one. If you are proud of your school, it's a good thing to show the world that you attend to that particular school. If you hate it... that's an other story.
Also I think that it prevents turning the time in school into a "newer and more expensive clothes show-off".
And when working in a lab you ruin your uniform instead of your usually more expensive everyday clothes. (This may or may not apply to your country / school.)

I Just thought of something, while reading a few of these posts.

At my school (public All boys boarding/day school) theres no need to look good, theres no need to show off your clothes because theres noone to impress (Unless you happen to be gay, and I assume very few few students are - even tho I have my doubts about the boarders)

Based on what Iv seen on mufti/casual days, I wouldnt get any work done without uniforms because I would be laughng my arse off at the wannabe "gangstas" all wearing either blue or red and doing that flicky thing they try to do with their hands that looks like their having some kind of spasm.

It would also be distracting not having a uniform, ushually on mufti/casual days I do very little work and come home with movie quotes and song lyrics and the like written all up my shirt sleeve.

offtopic moment: Everybody at my school knows how to do that. I hate it. It's stupid!

Come to think, at my school where we don't have uniforms, there's often a lot of weird stuff going on with clothing. Girls tryng to wear less and less. Punk-whatevers trying to wear more and more outrageous clothes. And then teachers like jumping at every 'offensive' saying. Once this really weird teacher told a kid to take off his shirt taht said "All my Heroes are Evil". With a uniform, you wouldn't get in trouble with dresscode issues and offending people.

Are you kidding? We are having a dress code in our school region soon, and some kids are acctually moving away because of it. If you ask me, dress code is just another way of, how do I put this, NON-Independency.. I mean, dressing every kid the same??? Kids should be able to express thereselves with close, not just with words, or there hairstyle, or makeup.. I think it is very cruel for people to have to wear the same thing... I mean, I can pick out my friends but there shirt.. In the morning I see them, and for the whole day, I'll know who I'm trying to find... But, with dress code, if someone had the same hair, you would come up behind them, and start talkin to them, to realize it's really not who you thought it was.. but then again, that's just from my point of view..

Ok Let's clarify, dress code is not the same thing as uniforms! A dress code is just rules that say, you can't wear hats, or your skirt can't be yay short, and you can't have spaghettie straps or shirts with offensive logos etc. While uniforms is like every one wears a set of the same type of suit, whether skirt, jacket, pants, sweater or whatever. Having a dress code is EXREMELY reasonable. You're just kids! You shouldn't be dressing like prostitutes, strippers, or sporting shirts that say "Hitler is cool" etc. [Of course you should never do that but anyways]. Uniforms are just a step up from a dress code. Even with uniforms there would still be a dress code. They would tell you how you have to wear the uniform....without these rules expressly stated I know several people who would take advantage of it, and change their uniforms.

yeah why not..its important...in a unifrom a student looks decent and it represents the school so its important
girlcalledjay
My school had uniforms and I never had a problem with it. All the kids looked the same and there was not obvious separation between the kids with the cool clothes and the not so cool kids.

Also it identified us as members of a specific school community and I think, in lots of situations, made us think twice about what we were doing when we were out and about in uniform.

Another plus is that we never had to get up in the morning and wonder what the hell to put on!!!
chargoyle
In an ideal society, uniforms are great. They give a sense of consistency to all of the students and help keep kids from being judged by their clothes. However, this isn't a perfect society. While a student would ideally express themselves by joining a club or taking a class office or something, most kids express themselves by their dress because it is something that everyone can readily see. Uniforms aren't going to eliminate cliques, peer pressure and social groups. While it does seem beneficial on the surface, most kids won't take to uniforms happily and most won't see the use of consistency and unity in a school. At a time when children most are finding out their place in the world and how they will fit in, a need for individuality cannot be discarded.

Before I am a college students I like wear uniform,nowadys when I browse my old photos,I can recall all the past happy days.
Lied
As far as i am concerned it depends.If the uniforms are like japanise anime i would not have a problem ware uniform since the girls would ware skirts and high shocks. Laughing Laughing

Tho, i consider dress code right.Recently in my country a dress code for all schools was impide.Even so nobody go with it because the dress code,dispite having some meaningful articles,it also includes restictions about sexy underware and hair gel.So nobody can take this order seriously and the teachers cannot realy say "you must remove your string" Cool
crimson_aria
As for me, I prefer students to wear uniforms (though I don’t like my uniform that much). It identifies them as such and it looks more decent. It’s good once in a while to wear the clothes you want in school though. Smile
Nuetral
i would have to say no. no because everyone has a right to where what ever they want i can see why some schools would want to do this because of how should i say "bad shirts"
lors
I don't think kids should have to wear uniforms, they should be able to express themselves by what they wear and wear what they like and what looks good and is comfortable to them.

i dont think we shold but still i dont need worry i at college now

Yes, as long as the uniform is comfortable and practical.

A uniform is a great leveller and makes it harder to judge peers based on appearance. It also keeps you from having to decide what to wear every morning and helps you to be less self-conscious about your appearance.

Having experienced both, I'd definitely say a well-designed uniform.

Yes, it did annoy me when I was told by a uniform nazi to change out of the 'wrong shirt' or that I had holes in my pantyhose, but most of the teachers were sympathetic if wanted to wear a shirt of a different material or a necklace, as long as it preserved the general look of the uniform.

We wear school uniforms in England, it is a lot better for equality, but like everything has it's dis-advantages.

I think wearing a school uniform is, on the whole, is a good idea.

Let's face it, you can't exactly wear what you want in the world of business and employment, you might as well get used to it.

When I was in my last year of high school, our school introduced a new tie, as an optional piece of school uniform, and the majority of us wore it without being told to.
frozenhead
Well, based on my experience, I got no problems wearing uniforms (grade and high school days). What's good about it is you dont have any problems what to wear. Wink
healyrj
Good question! One we could spend hours talking about. As a teacher, I guess I have no objection to a student not wearing a uniform. It is a matter of a student presenting neatly and I guess the student's behaviour and academic work is the most important thing while they are at school. Really uniform is pretty immaterial compared with the much bigger issues at play in a school.
kingvarun
I agree that we should wear school uniform because atleast we can save ourselves from being judged by other people who think they are too cool
quartnee
I've experienced both sides: wearing uniforms and not having to, and in the end I have to say I prefer uniforms. I'll admit at first it was nice to be able to "express" myself through my clothing, but then it became a hassle when I had to start waking up earlier and earlier each morning, and wasting time at night to figure out what I would wear tomorrow. With a uniform I already know what I'm going to wear, so I can spend more time sleeping in or staying up.

Another thing is that people say that it is more expensive, well yes, orginally it's more expensive, but when you factor in the amount you spend on "back-to-school" clothes, doesn't it cost the same? Also, if you wanna agrue that once your done with that school you can't wear it anymore, well most of the time the school or uniform depot will buy it back at close to the orginal price.

Also, the "your taking away their chance to express themselves", who are you expressing yourself to? It sounds as if your agruging because you can't advertise your personality. It's not that bad, as someone stated before, if you want to express yourself, do it through some other creative way such as writing or designing.

But I will knock out one myth about uniforms, the one were every expects that putting a school in uniform will automatically bring "good" behavior. Not so true, there are as many "bad" children at my private school than there were at my public school. Public schools just get more media attention because it's well, public and involes taxpayers money.
jongoldsz
No we shouldn't. Didn't we have a thread like this a few months ago.

NO!NO!NO! Imagine: I want to go to Fun-Park in another town. I end school at 15:10. SO Do I have take bus home which takes 30 minutes, take off my school uniform, 30 minutes back and 45 minutes to funpark? Or can i just go to funpark from school? Should i go to fun-park in school uniform? I realy like not wearing school uniform...

There is one post that brought up the idea that wearing a school uniform removes one’s right of personal expression. Shocked When you attend a school, you do it for education and not for partying. You can always express yourself and your individual ideologies with your uniform on. If you want to disobey the school’s standard on proper school uniform then you should not be in that school on the first place. Wink

I have been to both types of school – with school uniform and with no school uniform. I still prefer the former - the school which has good rules in uniforms. The reasons? First, uniformity of clothes, thus removing the poor-rich disparity that sometimes influences the very core system of education. 2nd, discipline – the advantage is not so visible when you are still inside your school. But the character that you carries when you are out of that school and the habit of keeping oneself respectable stay. 3rd, let us give our school it’s identity and let us make ourselves proud wearing the uniform of the institution that will mold us to be good citizens of our community now and in the future. If we can’t respect our uniform then there is no way we can respect our school, and when we can’t respect our school we can’t respect ourselves while inside that institution - so be sure before trashing your uniform, you are out of that school for good because your uniform represents your school as much as you are representing your school. Very Happy

Shame on you By the way, if your reason why you don’t like wearing school uniform is your inability to bring fashion in the school then there will always a place for that. Think You can start partying after and outside the school. If you can’t do that, you might as well bring homeworks to parties and see how you feel. Razz Lols.

Students should wear uniform to school until they are in the high school. Small kids should be controlled by introducing wearing uniform in school because they are still kids and cannot think wisely. When they grow bigger, I think wearing uniform is not necessary anymore.
Davidgr1200
When I was at school (admittedly that was a number of years ago) there were a few kids who liked school uniforms and a vocal few who disliked them. However, the vast majority didn't care at all. I would expect that the situation is pretty much the same today. I expect kids are more anxious about their mobile phones than the clothes they wear to school.
triggerhappy
i do not think uniform is a good shcool thing i'm glad my school does not have uniform rules otherwise everyone would be in black and white ties and suits and creepy stuff like that Smile
matttai
I think a uniform is a good thing that will help to establish identity and image in a student and their school. Plus students would be less inclined to be nasty as a uniform makes them alot more readily identifiable.
Andrew426
I read these "students should be allowed to express themselves through what they wear" posts and I begin to wonder.

People dont go to school to express themselves, they go to school to learn.
Uniforms aid learning as well as self respect, and they also make the school look good.

It also helps prevent violence, mostly from wannabe "gangstas" who believe they are part of the "crips" or the "bloods" and show this by wearing all one color, calling each other "nigga" and trying to beat each other up - If they all wear the same color (at my school its grey) they are less identifyable.

School Uniform FTW

i went to high school in china ...the uniform of that school is very ugly...
so i refuse to wear it everyday ... i had thought out many reason for my action..
silvermesh
Uniforms are another way for kids to never grow up. if you become one of the mass, you never have to stand up for yourself as an individual. I think this sort of thing is detrimental to society as a whole. It's getting to the point where kids don't even grow up by the time they've graduated from college. when are they to grow up?

choices have consequences, this is real life. the more choices you give to the kids when they're in highschool, the more they will learn how to make the right ones. it starts even so simple as what clothes to wear.
Tvis
I would say, it would be a good idea to put uniforms. The point is that in Holland (where I went to school) there are no uniforms. This means that the children have to be dressed according to the latest fashion. That is not an obligation of course, but as a kid you might fall outside of the group wearing old fashioned clothes or no-brands. Particuarely when parents do not have the money to put their kids in the best clothes. With uniforms parents do not have to buy their children that many clothes and within the school everybody is equal.
izimngcubes15
Yes, since dress code is not working at all, and some of the clothes they wear is not appropriate for anything. It's so disgusting. Uniforms should change it. And it looks sophisticated Smile

Civilian clothes or casual wear will do. I just agree with uniforms for disciplinary purposes. Well as the word "uniform" says, it's good for an institution to have one form especially with the clothing.

I strongly have to agree. Some kids wear really weird clothes, and we have to be FORMAL in school. Wink
