Research Proposal 1) The issue I am addressing is why schools with children from kindergarten through 8th grade and some high schools need to enforce a mandatory school uniform policy to lessen the theft and violence and bullying in schools. My proposal is important and it matters because innocent students are getting, bullied, hurt, and killed because of what they are wearing and if we enforce my claim then the number of these can possibly go down. This matters to the parents, school students, school faculty, school administrators, and our future generation, because it affects all of us in several different ways. 2) The competing side of my argument is not to enforce a mandatory school uniform policy. They believe that enforcing children and youth to wear uniform takes away from their freedom of expressing themselves and their values.
Anel Zequera April 11, 2011 Mrs. Nunez English 1301 Uniform Policy Uniform policies can be very brutal and too strict. Many high schools choose to have uniforms so that students can focus more on school academics and not in the way they look or dress. Schools try to do what’s best for the student, not for punishment; without all of these rules, what can I school do to help out their students education and future? School uniforms should be allowed because it helps the students concentrate on the work and not what another student looks like or how they are capable of dressing. School uniforms are to be used to limit skin exposure and anything gang related to prevent anything that might harm students or symbolize anything unsafe.
Mary Adams Mr. O’seland ENGL 1113/0179 5, December 2011 Hot Topic Essay In recent years, many schools across the United States have adopted uniforms for their students to help create a safer environment and to direct their attention away from “what’s hot” in fashion to academic performance. A majority of the schools are only implementing uniforms because of the possible benefits from doing so. They base this decision only on the positive statistics recorded from other schools. However, there are plenty of negative statistics that show that uniforms in public schools may not be such a good idea. So the question is, should uniforms be worn in public schools?
School Uniforms cons Antonio Rozier 3/15/13 Pd.2 Antonio Rozier Period 2 3/15/13 School Uniforms Con Ever since the 1920’s people have believed that school uniforms help students improve their grades and their behavior. Well this theory is not true what so ever school uniforms do not help students improve anything. Kade A., a sixth grade student, was asked how he felt about school uniforms he replied “No, I don’t like them, because they are uncomfortable, and make you feel like you are in your church clothes all the time.” (“Teen Ink” 1). A high school student was also asked how she felt and she responded “I do not like school uniforms because they take away student’s individuality.” (“Teen Ink 2”). These two students show that school uniforms do not help students improve their academics and also students do not like the uniforms at all.
He states that the portion of people who are for uniforms enumerate potential benefits. There would be a decrease in theft of designer clothing, prevention of gang colors, and a reduction in peer pressure. 3. Public School Uniforms The writers in this article express that many schools have gang presence and activity, due to the free-will dress codes. They researched that there have been incidences of children who are beaten or robbed due to the clothing they are wearing.
Uniforms make it more difficult for gangs to form and make the school a safer place. Schools report that school uniforms decrease fighting and violence that arrise out of arguments over fashionable clothes. Children invariably tease those who do not have trendy clothes. Those who can't afford name brand clothes are often sensitive about their
No matter how they dress for school, other kids will always find a way to pass judgement and bully each other. For example, kids would tease other kids because the uniform doesn't fit their particular body type and shape. Kids should be able to wear what they chose looks best on their own body. The clothes aren't the cause of bullying, so making kids all dress the same won't stop kids from bullying each other. I believe making students wear school uniforms is taking away their freedom to make choices.
So, if they do something wrong, they will think twice before doing what they are not supposed to do. There is a time for everything, from my experience, when I was a high school student, I disagreed on wearing uniforms. At that time, I thought that my uniform was unfashionable and uncomfortable. But now I think that I was happy when I used to wear
One of the arguments of co-education is the idea that it provides too many distractions for students. Several scholars have argued that these distractions have led to less attention on school work and class participation, due to girls and boys trying to impress each other. Furthermore, it has also been argued that students who are intimidated by the opposite sex may also be affected by low performance and low grades. Many educators believe that single-sex education does not enforce any type of gender-based stereotypes or adolescent subculture. Due to this, single-sex schools have been established to combat these issues.
Uniforms send a message to outsiders that those wearing them belong to a community where strict standards of conduct are upheld. (“School Uniforms.”) This is showing that some people think uniforms are showing the area they live in is strict. Dress codes affect learning in various ways. Uniforms are still a sense of discipline in the student body by eliminating distractions. When kids aren’t wearing designer clothing they can’t make fun of each other about the way they dress so they have more focus on
