School uniforms can also be a very uncomfortable fashion that students would not take a liking to. They also won’t be the “quick fix” that many people think they are. The first reason uniforms should not be required is that most schools across the country believe uniforms take away from an individual’s identity, so they don't require their students wear them. In today's world a person’s identity and having a good sense of self is important to the diversity that Americans have shown in the past. In schools that require uniforms the student body all look like the same person, very bland and boring people.
(“Point: The High Cost of School Uniforms”). If all PA public schools require students to wear uniforms, then the schools would be taking away freedom of expression during the week. Students in school who are growing up and transitioning to an adult world need to know how to live their own lives and be themselves, because eventually they won’t have someone there with them, helping them through things in life. Being themselves also means being able to express themselves the way the wish to. School uniforms are not only items that cause a lack of freedom of expression but also a largely ineffective way to help solve the problems they were meant to.
Often students are being picked on at school because of the clothing that they are wearing. Every child cannot afford to wear name brand and keep up with the latest trends. Some parents may have one or more students to buy for than others, and will may not be able to afford to buy trending clothes for all their kids. Wearing uniforms all the students would be dress similar to each other with their choice of wearing a blue or white collar shirt with a pair of khaki pants or shorts and skirts for the boys. If uniforms laws was enforced at public schools, there would be less students breaking the school dress code policy.
But when a school system puts uniforms into place, and then makes you wear a certain color shirt because of you grades, that's just asking for more bullying and fights. I'm really trying to understand their thinking process on this issue. Maybe they figured, if you're in the lower grade color, you will start trying harder. It's a concept that I believe is completely wrong, but it's the only reason I could think of on why they would do this. I really don't believe that I could ever grow to like this concept at all.
Uniforms are expensive, it might not be to wealthy families but it is a lot to families who are less fortunate. You might look at having uniforms is a money saving opportunity but it really isn't. What is your child going to wear outside of school? They obviously can't wear a uniform out of school unless they want to be made fun of. Basically as a parent, you are paying for two sets of uniforms and everyday clothes for students to wear out of school!
Having a mandatory uniform limits teenager’s creativity and their expressive side. Lastly, the uniform can be harmful to schools image because some schools may have nicer uniforms than others causing other schools to envy them and not feel equal and uniforms are all about making everyone equal.

Anything in life should not be given to anyone it should be earned or suffer the consequence. The fear of failing for some students is scary, he or she does not want to fail and if there motivated the student would most likely try harder and pay more attention in school. In example, when I was in high school I would never concentrate on social studies thinking it was important to me and one day my teacher came up to me telling me I would fail and not graduate this year because of my lack of effort in his class. From there on it got me thinking of my future and I didn’t want to fail and be back in high school for another year for stupid mistakes I made, so the next semester I work harder then ever and passed the class with an A. Sometimes a little motivation and being afraid of failure can motivate someone to work
Williams, Lynae Boone Period: 7 1/7/12 The Reality of Life In reality, how many people actually take education seriously? Personally school systems from my perspective are not at the best they can be. The concern of all students and the education they receive seems to be very low. The law “No students left behind”, needs to be enforced more than it has been previously and as it is being enforced today. The film Waiting For Superman addressed the fact that a lot of students do not have the opportunity to get a good education, so there for students are being left behind.
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.
