...Why a school uniform My opinion about school uniform is that it is a good idea to have a uniform. If school students are poor and rich, you can not find difference between them, if they use school uniform. School uniform can also be good because many students tease others about how their clothes are. I think, it is very good that many schools have uniform. An other advantage for the school uniform could be that you do not always have to change your clothes every second day. Some students will not be mobbed because every students have the same uniform, but boys and girls have difference uniforms. The disadvantage for the school uniform is that parents can not afford it. Sometimes the teacher can be confused, because all students have the same uniform. It might be good if the pupils in our school wear school uniforms. Primarily, the students will see much better with school uniform than the normal clothes, they use everyday at school. Secondarily, any student in the school can not be embarrassed with their clothes. But it is also difficult for the parents to pay the price the school uniforms cots. I am sure that some students and parents are not on this agreement, but I am also sure that some students and parents are with the agreement as described above. The students will be equal with other children, who are rich. Of course, I will wear a school uniform, because I want to try something, I never have done before. Because the students in England use uniforms, I always...

...School Uniforms: What’s the Big Debate? Mar’Kisha Everett English 147 July 8, 2015 University of Phoenix, Anne Cox School Uniforms: What’s the Big Debate? A school uniform is a set of standardized clothes worn primarily for an educational institution. Mention this around many teenagers and you have just started one of the biggest debates maybe ever. But just what is it about requiring kids to wear uniforms at school that seems to get everyone in such an uproar? Freedom of expression and individuality are the top two arguments opposing school uniforms. Enforcing a uniform policy is not an attempt to ignore freedom of expression or to try and stop individuality, it is simply an idea implemented to gain discipline, safety, and professionalism. School uniforms are not just implemented to help students exceed in school alone, but is also a great preparation for the future. Even though many people disagree because of freedom speech or expression, school uniforms are a good idea because they are affordable, they can prevent bullying and violence, and prepare students for a dress code in the workplace. Growing up today is probably not the easiest thing to do. There are many obstacles that may hinder learning in school such as gang violence, abuse from students and faculty, and bullying. Many students are bullied because they don’t look like other students in the class. While enforcing uniforms won’t stop the bullying, ensuring that everyone is in...

...We Should Not All Be Uniform! Every day, millions of teenagers spend between six and eight hours in America’s high schools. They sit at their desks, listen to their teachers, and do their school work. In some of these schools, however, they are also forced to dress in school uniforms. This restriction is really too much. In America’s high schools, students should not be forced to wear uniforms because they take away a student’s sense of individuality, they do not allow for self-expression, and they absolutely do not save families any money. First of all, students should not wear uniforms because they take away a student’s sense of individuality. Imagine this: 30 students sit in desks in a small classroom. Each student wears tan pants and a white shirt. They sit with their school books and papers in front of them. They all look exactly alike. Does this seem right? Of course not! We are all individuals! We are unique in many different ways. Why try to make all students look alike? This idea is supported by testimony from a 17-year-old student forced to wear uniforms. Her story was reported in National Catholic Reporter of March, 2002, and she said, "Everyone hated it. It completely killed any sense of individuality any one of us had. Everyone looked the same. It was sad to 26 Duddles 2 watch" (3). Clearly, students with experience in wearing uniforms feel that they take away a sense of individuality. Next, school uniforms do not allow students to express themselves. Teenagers...

...studies have been done that show that schools with a dress code have better performance. Not everyone agrees a school having a dress code, which makes it hard to execute. People can argue that it is a good idea or it is a bad idea. I think it is a good idea to have some sort of a dress code, but not to the point where students have to wear the same uniform every day. Everyone wants there kid to do well in school. Studies show that the schools that have strict dress codes do better than schools that do not have dress codes. When you have a certain structured dress code, kids are less likely to worry about what they are wearing and focus more on the schooling. If you require the students to wear uniforms all of the time, the use of the same colors could possible cause depression with the kids. Instead of making them wear a uniform every day, make them wear one on certain days of the week. Variety of clothes and being able to pick what you want to wear is a fun part of school for most people. When required to wear certain uniforms, depending on what they are, the students could have better school spirit. On the other hand, they could go completely against the school for requiring them to have to wear uniforms. Someone will not like the uniform no matter how nice it is that is just the way it is. Everyone wants to show off their new clothes they bought at name brand stores on the first day. Unfortunately, the economy is not as good as it has been in the past and it is...

...Your school is considering requiring all students to wear uniforms during school. Do you feel it is a good idea or a bad idea to require students to wear uniforms? Why? | | When it comes to my school requiring the students to wear a uniform, I personally feel that it is a good idea. Uniforms displays a great form of structure and unity within our school. It will allow us to be more focused on our schoolwork and not on competing with our peers to keep up with the latest fashions. The practice of students wearing a simple dress code is preparing us to transition into the corporate job market. The business world expects us to wear a professional attire in order to be taken serious among our colleagues and clients. This change will also allow us students to express our individual self-expression in other ways beside through our clothing. I know some of the other students will feel that wearing a uniform will stifle their creativity because they will be dressed just like everyone else in school. But unless they are wearing a unique one of a kind outfit, we are just following a trend that millions of other people are following as well. In all honesty, the schools these days are over ran with students wearing jackets/hoodies that are covering most of the clothes that they have on. So I don’t think that requiring us to dress in a uniform will actually stifle our creativity through clothing but will reserve that type of attire for a more appropriate time. Our creativity and individuality...

...Professor Benham ENC1101 4/18/2013 School Uniforms Did you ever notice how the students in the school dress a little to revealing? Well school uniforms would help get rid of that problem so the students could concentrate more on school work. Wearing schools uniforms would help make students’ lives simpler. The students would no longer have to worry about what to wear every morning. School should be based on how the students learn, not how they look. They should enforce the school uniform policy so that no one has to worry what everyone else is wearing and concentrate on schoolwork.

School uniforms would help the student in many ways. Students would no longer be worry about what to wear. Getting ready for school would be much faster and easier. The students would have a great benefit wearing schools uniforms. Students will feel more comfortable in the school, and there will be no difference between the “rich” kids and the poor ones.

Also the students won't have to worry about the clothes that they have to wear to school. According to Marian K, “School uniforms can save parents a lot of money...

...The idea of determining what our appearances and our clothes are being the focus of what direction that the lives of our young girls lives are going is very prominent in our lives today. Our young girls are being influenced by what we allow them to see in the women who are in media and we need to take a stand and not allow our young girl to focus on their looks taking away from instead of their education and their future. “Once a young girl is to arrive at school education should be their focus, there needs to be a state law that would allow a dress code in place when at school. According to the Public School Review, school administrators and parents believe that adopting a uniform dress code creates a more conducive learning environment because students are not distracted by the way they or others look and can focus on academics.” Many times parents think that uniforms being a requirement is just a nuance and an extra cost for the parents. Although it might seem a reasonable request, to many, because school dress codes and even school uniforms are common and often supported by teachers and administrators, who frequently complain about students that have decided to push the limits of good taste and their parents let them do this. They allow their daughter to walk out half dressed showing their mid drift or wear shorts that look they are wearing bathing suits. By providing a uniform policy that does not allow shorts or skirts of a certain length and shirts that cover themselves...

...this meeting all parents were asked to vote if uniforms would be appropriate or inappropriate for students to wear. The controversy about implementing school uniforms in the school has been going on for quite some time now. The Cleveland School District is slowly enforcing the idea that students in grades kindergarten through third grade are already required to wear uniforms and fourth through eighth grade wearing uniforms is under deliberation. However the idea of wearing uniforms could prevent a lot of things. Wearing uniforms promotes safety, inequalities, and bullying. Uniforms are cost efficient. The parents do not have to worry about spending hundreds of dollars on expensive clothing like, Nike, Jordan, or Adidas. Keeping up with today’s trend has proven to be very costly. Parents can spend half the amount on uniforms that they would spend on clothing in today’s trend .For example, I have to buy uniform for my daughter and not my son because she is in grammar school where uniforms are worn but my son wears regular clothes. So that makes me spend more money on my son than my daughter. This will help a lot of parent to save money, pay bills on time, and buy other necessities. There are several stores around town that sale uniforms for a reasonable price. Looking Good and Wal-Mart are the best known sellers of uniforms in town. So parents do not have to travel out of their way and spend more money to obtain uniforms. Uniforms would eliminate the ridicule students receive...

...Classical Argument Position ENGL 123 Public School-uniform: Decision hanging by a thread Today’s youth face a different learning environment that was not as prevalent in years past. Peer in on any one of the more than 98,500 schools, and notice the difference. Public schools have morphed into more of a hangout and social hour-type atmosphere, as well as become the new “red carpet” to display the latest fashion trends. That is not all. Reported cases of drug and alcohol use, weapons brought into school, and violence and bullying have drastically increased over the years, and not just in the high schools either, but in all grade levels. As each of these problems take a seat at the head of the class, quality education breaks for recess. Although the factors attributing to the recent increases in these issues are many, one viable solution to mitigate some of the problems is for all public schools to require their students wear uniforms. Many advocates for this initiative, me included, strongly believe that mandating the wear of uniforms will reduce the alarming numbers for violent behavior and bullying, as well as alleviate any socio-economical barriers that currently exist; therefore, they will become the catalyst which brings the focus back to education within the classroom. For those parents who oppose the idea of uniforms, and who believe that mandating their child wear a uniform while attending public schools violates the First Amendment and stifles their child’s...

...The Dreaded School Uniforms School uniform requirements are horrible for every kid because they define what can and can’t be worn. Uniforms can get students bullied from other students in different school districts who don’t wear uniforms and, as a result, students will be more likely to break the school uniform code as they get older. For these reasons, school uniforms should not be required. School uniforms are terrible for all students. To begin with, they limit the freedom students have by restricting them from wearing their own shirts, pants, or any type of clothes that they own to school. “At the same time they might feel that it takes away a way for children to express themselves and be more creative.” (Lemhouse 1). School uniforms...

...is something in schools that keeps catching the attention of all students and faculty. Many schools don’t always stick to their dress codes or they are very lenient about it, not Gold Hill Middle School. It seems like all the Gold Hill staff are out to dress code students all the time. A few ways to end this mess is getting rid of the dress code, get uniforms, or compromise on a code that works with both teachers and students. Gold Hill Middle School’s dress code situation is getting out of control a little bit more each day. Getting rid of the dress code is pretty much a bad idea from the start but there are a few convenient things about this solution. One reason this idea could work is kids would stop complaining about not being able to wear some of the things they have which would make kids and teachers happier. Also, teachers would be allowed to wear anything they would like too. On the other hand, it is a very bad idea because some kids would show up with short shorts and tank tops on which would be a disaster. This solution is obviously a no....
