Shouldn't School Uniforms be Banished for Life?

School uniforms. Tacky, not stylish, and boring! Shouldn't they be, like, burned in an incinerator or something? I sure think so!

Now, who's a fashion monster out there? Who likes to dress up in the latest styles? Who likes to be unique? Well, I can tell you, having to where the same shirt and pants as everyone else everyday of the year is not very unique, is it? Now, the only reasons for uniforms is this: so people do not dress in inappropriate clothes. And all I have to say for this is: less than a quarter of students in, say, a high school, actually dress in wrong clothing. But the rest of us have to get punished too? That really doesn't seem fair at all. Getting to wear the latest in styles is the only good reason for school itself. Without that, there's no point of school at all, unless you really wanna be rich and have a good job.

Here some cons of school uniforms:

  • they are tacky
  • they are not stylish
  • they only come in one colour
  • people rebel against principals and other high authorities because of these uniforms
  • they do not let us show our true style
  • some of us can only concentrate and feel confident if we are wearing good clothes

Now just for the people who actually believe uniforms are the best idea since cellphones, here are some pros of uniforms:

  • they do prevent inappropriate clothes form being worn at school
  • the skirts are pretty mini and short

That's a small amount of pros for all those cons there. Uniforms, for a lack of a better word, ruins our sense of style and uniqueness. Which is why I believe uniforms should be banished ofr life. Don't you agree?

I think that school uniforms are a bad idea because it doesn't let you show your own originality and it costs more for parent's that are tight on money. I am TOTALLY against school uniforms.


P.S. It does NOT decrease violence or gangs. It increases them.

School uniforsm are a waste of time and it costs a lot of money for parent's who are struggling to pay bills. I personally think that school uniforms should be banned. This website also helped a lot with my english class debate. It gave me a ton of information. I totally agree with Emily. It does limit our uniqueness. Sorry I can't spell all that great. Hehe.

I think young teens like us often express our feelings and our personality through the clothing that we wear. Uniforms will take away this type of expression. why should schools try to make everyone look the same while most kids complain about it. teachers teach us that our country is a free nation but when schools force students to wear uniforms it takes away our freedom. another reason we should not have uniforms is that they are very uncomfortable. everyone likes wearing cloths that are comfortable. also wearing a uniform might make the student uncomfortable around people outside the school who don't have to wear the uniform the last reason im gonna talk about is they cost alot of money maybe more then a family can afford. students also have to buy week end clothes and after school cloths. that like double the amount of money a family would spend that they would without the uniforms..

i think wearing a school uniform shouldnt be permitted in any school cause it takes away our creativity and the way we as students express ourselfs
#20 by someone, Apr 30, 2008
i think it takes away your right to express yourself and it takes away your creativity.if my school made us have uniforms i would probably start a protest
#21 by kayle, May 5, 2008
i think we shouldnt wear uniforms to nbecause is super ugly some people think that theyre suppose to be sexi and they should. seeyou friends ypou all kisses sexi
#22 by MsVannaholic., May 6, 2008
I reckon it should be banned. It DOES NOT reduced the bullying stuff because you're going to still get bully anyways, for the way how your buttons are all done up, you don't have the COUNTRY ROAD bag, your shirt are tuck in so you're a nerd. Parents are also spending hundred of dollars on school uniform as well. You could buy heeps of cool outfit with the money you used to buy a school jumper. Also what I don't get is, why everyone is telling us to BE YOURSELF, DON"T FOLLOW EVERYONE ELSE, and here we are being forced to wear school uniforms exactly like EVERY OTHER STUDENTS. It's ridiculous. UNIFORMS SHOULD BE BANNED (Y)

i think we should not wear uniforms because some people can not concentrate unless they wear clothes that feel comfortable. also it coast more money to wash. i have to pay to do my laundry. it doesn't give you a chance to be your self. when you go home you have to change out of your school clothes and put on more clothes. idk about yall but i dont like to waste money.
#28 by xx.Saraah.xx, May 27, 2008

¤ Having school uniform may cause some students to feel uncomfortable. If their uniforms do not suit them, they might feel ashamed of it during their school days. This is not good for teenager’s mental health and could cause depression.
Also, students cannot work in something that they don't like to wear. School uniform will remove the opportunities from students to express themselves. According to the studies of non-verbal communication, choosing what we wear is one of the most important aspects of non-verbal communication. Some students feel frustrated because they cannot pick out what they wear to school. This frustration might make them feel violent, which could lead to
juvenile crimes. Many families cannot provide enough money which means they may not be able to pay school cost and school uniforms. Some students may think that the uniform is tacky, they are not stylish, they only come in one colour, they do not let students show their true style, some students may also believe that they can only concentrate and feel confident if we are wearing good clothes. Many people believe that having a school uniform may stop bullying well I believe that they are wrong! If a child or student is going to get bullied they will be bullied . I'm against school uniform.
