That is why I strongly believe uniforms should be enforced in every school whether public or private. I think that wearing school uniforms would help students do better in school for mainly three reasons. One is because they save valuable time, they can make school a lot safer for everyone, and they save money. First, school uniforms can save time because students, especially girls, don’t have to spend a lot of time trying to choose clothes to wear. In eliminating this time consuming task, students would have a lot more time to do more important things such as eating breakfast in the morning or doing homework.
Students in grades kindergarten through twelve should be required to wear uniforms because it creates school unity, is safer, and it helps students develop a higher self-esteem. School uniforms makes students feel more connected with their school and classmates creating school unity. When students pay more attention to what name brands their peers are or are not wearing, the school becomes segregated making the poor students seem as outcasts. However, "when the emphasis is off fashion," students become united as one and are able to focus more on learing ("Wear a School Uniform"). Wearing school colors can make a student feel more proud of their school.
Students who wear uniforms are more likely to not get in trouble in school. They would pay more attention and listen to the teachers. Moreover, “the U.S. Department of Education maintains that mandatory use of standardized dress reduces violence within the school” (Asaff). A second advantage of school uniforms is the cost of clothing. With a uniform policy, there would be no pressure to buy expensive, “in” clothing.
You always know what you're going to wear, therefore you never have to waste time picking out your clothes. Besides that, uniforms show off school colors and display school spirit! When a student wears uniforms, there are still students who enjoy bulling those who aren't wearing the latest brand, or whose clothes are baggier than others. Uniforms cut down on other costs for clothes that you would need to buy to supply enough clothes for the week. Sometimes, though, kids have to wear the most expensive brand of clothing to feel accepted by their peers.
Public Schools Requiring Students to Wear Uniform Danika Washington English Composition2 (AXE1433k) Kari Lamanno 09/16/2014 With many public schools requesting students to wear uniforms, I feel this is a good idea because they will help safe money; they will help them be identified, and with security purposes, uniforms will also help students focus on the more important things school has to offer. I personally believe that schools requesting students to wear uniforms are a start to improving the school systems. Although, I am not saying that uniforms will solve all problems but I feel they will allow the students to feel comfortable within their surroundings which will help them focus on the more important things at school. Saving money is always a great thing; purchasing uniforms are much easier and less expensive than going to a mall or department store looking for designer or the most popular clothing. Wearing uniforms to school will allow students the ability to focus on what is going on within the classroom instead being involved in small talk about what another person is wearing.
They help students focus on what is more important than fashion and beauty trends. From point of view, uniforms can help curb behavioral problems. By means of wearing uniforms, students are less likely to engage in illegal behavior. As I mentioned earlier, most of teens tent to care about other people's views on them. So, if they do something wrong, they will think twice before doing what they are not supposed to do.
So the question is, should uniforms be worn in public schools? I don’t think so. Yes, there are several benefits, but I believe the cons outweigh the pros in this situation. It is said, and has been shown in several studies that uniforms in public schools reduce the amount of violence amongst the students. If all of the students on campus look the same, it is hard to distinguish among the many cliques and/or gangs; and anyone who doesn’t belong on campus would easily be identified.
Implementing School Uniforms Implementing school uniforms will increase academic performance and reduce behavioral problems. While this is a temporary solution to the permanent problem of getting students to strive for achievement, the implementation of school uniform policies, especially at this pivotal point in time in our countries future, is one way we could help young people to realize their potential thru improving the over all quality of education in our country. While students and parents face many daily struggles that distract them from more important things, financial issues can be sited as one of the biggest struggles facing families and individuals these days. School uniforms provide a low cost alternative to expensive designer clothing. Students whose parents can’t afford expensive clothing can be spared the harsh words and jeers from their peers, allowing them to blend in instead of being singled out as poverty stricken or less fortunate then others, thus giving all the students the outward appearance of equals.
Some schools provide programs where kids can receive the uniforms at little or no cost. They’re more affordable than regular clothing. Parents can save a lot of money. In conclusion, school uniforms provide for a better learning environment and that's why we go to school; TO learn, Not just to see who’s wearing the new hottest clothes or not. Those are material things that will get you nowhere in life, the only thing that make you a somebody is an education and and a good job.
As such, personal biases aren’t formed and merit is the simplest deciding factor. Modesty in attire may well be maintained: It’s totally easy, if school uniforms are a component of the system, to circumvent promiscuity in teens. Students will learn how to respect each other on the premise of ways they get along and not how sexy they give the impression of being. The extent of distraction (via undue attraction) is considerably reduced: Let’s face it, glam girls and bouncy boys may be very a distraction for certain people. More so, uniforms might be useful in avoiding random attraction and it’s repercussions.
