THE PROS AND CONS OF SCHOOL
UNIFORM
School uniforms are dress codes that are determined by the
teaching institutions and students have to follow the designed code
obediently everyday. Many people believe that school uniforms
should be applied but the others don’t.
Uniforms have various advantages for both the family and
the child. A united school apparel can relief a financial stress of the
backs of many families. As kids tend to compete and imitate each
other, the race of following new trends in fashion, or providing
different attire for every school day is considered a financial burden,
not every family can afford it.
Additionally, a uniform creates a sense of equality between
all pupils. Young kids tend to judge others according to their look and
what they wear. Uniting their school attire will draw their attention to
other criteria and, the only advantage of one student over another
will be personality, academic achievement or being good at sports.
On the other hand, as repetition can lead to boredom,
children can get frustrated of wearing same thing to school every
day. Also, prevent their first steps of individuality by taking away
their right to choose what to wear on their own.
In conclusion, I believe uniforms aren’t meant to suppress
the creativity or freedom of children. It helps redirecting kids’
creativity towards more important things than outer look, and waive
