Generally schools require students to wear uniforms for the desire to increase the students’ academic levels. Many critics rebuttal that uniforms “infringe on student’s First Amendment right of free expression” (Kelly). Although the use of uniforms might take away some of a student’s freedom of picking what new outfit to wear every morning, to exercise the use of uniforms in a school environment gives the students more time to focus on their homework after school rather than
MaCoHigh Instructor McCauley ENC 1101 February 27, 2012 Should Uniforms Be Worn In Public Schools? Many parents argue about whether or not uniforms is a good fit for their children to wear to a public school. Uniforms are a good fit for a public school just as we as it is for a private school. If kids were enforced to wear uniforms to school it could solve a lot of issues: Kids won't be picking at other kids because of their clothes, staffs do not have to worry about whether or not the student outfit is inappropriate or not, and students could help promote themselves for future workplaces. Often students are being picked on at school because of the clothing that they are wearing.
This does not mean that parents have no rights to what happens to their child while they are at school but this allows school to guide student behaviors though discipline. This idea is called in loco parentis (pg. 378). This concept was once more important in schools than it is now but it has brought forth it idea that no matter the student, disabled or not, there needs to be a certain level of responsibility put on all students for their behaviors when they are at school. This would be a great chapter of the book for parents to read because it would help them to understand why the school is doing what it is doing.
The narrator, also the daughter, explains her joy and pride for her new articles of clothing. She says, “ My shoes are my greatest joy, black patent-leather miracles, and when one is nicked at the toe later that morning in class, my heart will break.” When the daughter describes the shoes as miracles, she shows how proud she is to have them. This alone is due to her mother buying them. The mother takes great care in preparing her daughter for her first day of school. She shows her support by serving a large breakfast of oatmeal sweetened by brown sugar and milk, spending a hour on making her girl’s hair look perfect, and by dabbing of bit of precious gardenia perfume behind her ears.
Enforcing Dress Code Are you tired of being mistreated because of your appearance? Uniforms will help you solve this problem. Wearing uniform helps students pay more attention in school because they’re spending less time thinking about who looks better. Parents are saving money by not buying expensive designer clothes. Students who wear expensive clothing alienate those students who are less fortunate and cannot afford to.
Not many students are going to agree with a high school’s dress code policy, unless of course the dress code is no dress code. The issue of students wearing clothing that are outside of the dress code regulations is clearly an everyday kind of thing. By this point most would think that the administrative offices would have tried to do something to ease up the regulations, or at least find a better way to go about the situation when a student is dress coded. As cliché as it is, shouldn’t teachers and administrators be more concerned about our education than the clothing we wear? Yes, I do understand that the policy was written with good intentions; to keep students dressed in a manner that will represent the school well and also keep students focused on their learning not on how short the girl’s shorts are in the seat in front of them, but certain rules have gone to an unnecessary extent.
One element of the message is that when you are going to school, that is your place of work. That is the place where you are working at getting smart." Joe Palumbo In my first argument I will state that the uniform removes any sort of competition between the students in the manner of clothing. One of the biggest problems that students in public schools face is that school is a place to learn and grow as a person, not show off. When students feel the need to inadvertently express themselves with what they were, it begins to separate them in more ways than one.
Uniforms show unique fashion, help financially, and improve social skills. Many people argue that wearing a uniform; will not show the creative side of their children. There are many different ways of showing the stylish side while wearing a uniform. Many public and private schools today show students wearing low-cut jeans, revealing cleavage, or baggy pants. Even wearing a uniform a student can accessorize without revealing too much skin.
Pro School Uniforms Today’s schools have many internal problems such as bullying, lost class time, and intruders. These problems can simply be corrected by the use of school uniforms. School uniforms are distinct articles of clothing worn by students to match one another and show unity. The characteristic unity is a group coming together as a whole, or a sense of belonging. Students should always feel that they belong to the school for the right reason: getting an education in a safe and friendly environment.
First, mandating uniforms in public schools can prevent kids from getting bullied. Bullying is a big issue in schools nowadays. Kids can be so critical when it comes to judging others. Kids will judge other kids by what they’re wearing, if kids don’t wear certain brand names they’re not considered part of the cool kids and they will exclude them from their group. Kids who wear uniforms don't have to worry about what people think about their outfit and they can focus more on their studies and schoolwork.
