The Pros and Cons of
School Uniform
School uniforms are dress codes that are
determined by the teaching institutions and students has 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 would 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 free well.
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
financial burden of their families.
