All around the United States more and more schools and switching to the idea of school uniforms. Schools think that this uniform policy will help bring down crime rates, gangs, improve the schools over all academic achievement, and level out social discriminations among students. Although this theory may become true to someone who wants it to be true, other skeptics looking into this are finding that these positive influences from uniforms are merely misconceptions. Schools’ academic achievements are not influenced by the clothes that students have on their backs. Neither is the crime rate in that school. There were theories that gang members could sneak into schools by wearing that schools uniform and blending in with everyone. Some students are even saying that uniforms will not stop them from discriminating other kids since they still know who is rich and who is poor. Although our society thinks that forcing students to wear uniforms to school will cure all problems, they better think twice. School uniforms should not be allowed in public schools because they are not cost effective, they deprive students’ rights to express themselves, and lastly, they do not increase the status of the school who adopted the uniform policy.…
Public schools across the United States have been dealing with the issue of dress codes. As of 2008, twenty-two U.S. states specifically authorized schools to institute dress codes or uniform policies (8). School boards may generally create and enforce dress code, but they must do so without violating students’ constitutional law (9). Schools are finding difficulty in enforcing their dress code among students. Parents feel as if the schools dress codes are condoning their students for expressing themselves and say that it is unconstitutional and wrong. Parents, students, and administrators all have the idea of uniforms in the back of their mind but, they will have to give up things to have them. Though a dress code for high schools students is appropriate, uniforms would be a better option.…
This paper is about the issue of school uniforms and whether or not for schools (K-12) to require them. I analyzed three strong arguments from both sides of the issue. The side advocating uniforms argued that school uniforms keep students focused, which may lead to an improvement of grades. Advocates state uniforms deter students from crimes and save money for parents by relieving parents of the pressure of buying new clothes for every school year. The other side of the issue against uniforms in schools argue that uniforms threaten and infringe on student’s freedom of expression by requiring students to wear the uniforms with consequences if not hearkened. The opposition to uniforms also presented a study where the students oppose…
All around the world, no matter the location, education stands to be one of the most important elements in a child’s life. Most parents are concerned that their child gets the best education possible, fits in with his or her peers, and to have the best possible experience he or she possibly can. Parents will search schools around the area they live and try to pick the best school that will give their child everything they need. However, when it comes to schools, there is one controversial issue that each school encounters, every year: whether or not the children in their school will be required to wear a uniform. In the article “The Pros and Cons of School Uniforms,” Michelle McDermott explains that 23% of schools in the United States require uniforms. Some parents want their children to go to a school with required uniforms, some parents do not want their kids to wear uniforms, and other parents could not care less on the issue. No matter where each parent stands on the issue, there will always be a few things that all parents will agree on, and that is the fact that they want their children to receive the best education they can.…

One promotes good discipline which can help decrease the amount of discipline problems. Two, Reduces fighting and violence this can decrease fighting and violence that arise out of arguments over fashionable clothes.

There are several reasons public schools should require uniforms. “School uniforms are one of several strategies being used by this nation’s public schools to restore order in the classroom and safety in the schools” (Stanley, 2). “In addition to encouraging students to concentrate on learning, rather than on what to wear, uniforms can be social equalizers that promote peer acceptances, as well as school spirit and school pride” (Stanley, 2).…
School uniforms are a great way to maintain a level of social equality amongst students of all schools. It is said by many, that a professional uniform appearance in school children maintains and promote good discipline. Uniforms can dictate how children express themselves, which result in both positive and negative feedbacks amongst their peers. However the consequences of not wearing uniforms in school has often times proven too tragic for some students in school all over the country due to another child desire to deprived or even kill others for their belongings such has name brand clothes or shoes.…
Wearing uniforms is a prudent way to diminish the chance of humiliation in a school environment. While most private schools already have established a particular uniform to be worn within the institution at all times by students, public schools mostly remain more liberal and only have a more-or-less strict dress code. Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge that public schools tend to have a more diverse student population from different cultural backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses (Populus, Generation W). Some students have parents with high incomes who can afford to buy fashionable and costly clothes for their children. But there are also those teens who are forced to buy low-cost outfits at discount retail stores. From this viewpoint, if all students wear identical clothes, a reduction in…
It is a waste of time (as well as money) for teachers and other staff to check that pupils are wearing the appropriate uniform, but on the other hand, it would save the students themselves time every morning if they wore uniform, as they would not have to worry and ponder over what they were going to wear to school. It would also create unnecessary stress upon the students to impress their peers by the clothes they wore. It could even save children their embarrassment if they could not always afford to buy the new fashion fad.…
First, schools can teach their students a sense of discipline when mandating a rule telling that wearing school uniforms is compulsory. Every time when students put on their clothes before going to school, they have to bear in their minds that the clothes they should pick is their school uniforms not the other stylish. Being taught this lesson every day, the students can make a good habit and attitude that can be very beneficial for them in the future when they have to obey many rules in their work and in the society.…
Most high school students are teenagers. They are no longer children, but they still are not adults. Thus, they often want to wear latest fad clothes when they go to schools. However, I prefer the idea that they should be required to wear uniforms.…
I think students should wear uniforms to school because it makes the school look better. It also helps with a dress code because students are wearing more provocative clothing giving the school a bad name and wearing uniforms will help the students appreciate discipline and look more professional. Promote equality and learning is what should be exercised in schools. School uniforms have positive benefits. First, there will be no difference between rich and poor. That will promote a sense of teamwork between students because they will all look the same, and that will make an equality between students. Second, school uniforms will allow children to focus more on learning and what needs to be taught Therefore uniforms will increase students' self-esteem. Finally, school uniforms can be also a tool to save families time and money. Bullying on the other hand is a serious problem in schools. By having uniforms it would eliminate a lot of situations. It can help the bullying problem because kids get picked on for their clothes all the time, so if all the kids had on the same clothes that problem would be improved dramatically. Also, if kids wear regular clothes, they basically have no restriction in how they dress which leads to promiscuity. Promiscuity can distract other students from paying attention in school and maybe make them get lower grades. That's why uniforms should be worn at all times. Students may feel inferior of what they wear just because they are poorer than the rest. Students might also dress inappropriately and therefore give the rest wrong idea. Students might also judge each other on what they wear. Students may get lost easily during learning journeys as teachers might leave them out thinking they are members of the public and therefore leave without them. I think that they stop most…
In some Western countries, there is no such thing as school uniform. The students just wear whatever they like as long as appropriate to the norm to their school. But, this kind of things does not happen in our country. Why? Questions like “Should school require students to wear a school uniform?” have been put forward again and again. Based on what we can observe now, the Ministry of Education does not have any desire to give any changes to current system. This is because school uniform is important and it brings more pros than cons.…
