Others should agree as well. PA public schools should not be required to wear uniforms. Uniforms cause a lack of freedom of expression. With wearing clothing of our own choosing, comes a way to express ourselves and our personalities “Since clothing is considered an expression of identity or religious belief, mandating school uniforms is considered a violation of students' right to free expression”. (“Point: The High Cost of School Uniforms”).
School uniforms should not be made mandatory at all high schools in Ontario. They shouldn’t be mandatory because they can be very expensive and out of some people’s price range, they discourage self expression and they can boost rivalry between schools. First of all, school uniforms can be an expensive investment every year that some families could struggle with. Some families might struggle to be able to afford the uniform every year and might have to go with the option of getting used uniform. Some kids get bullied for only being able to afford a used uniform.
Landon Stewart Mrs. Luker Government A4 10/23/12 Cons of School Uniforms There are many schools in the U.S. that require their students to wear uniforms, and there are more that don't. I believe that school uniforms should not be required for a few reasons. Uniforms take away from a person's individual identity and freedom to express himself or herself. They can be costly to people depending on a family’s financial status. School uniforms can also be a very uncomfortable fashion that students would not take a liking to.
One thing that is certain, however, is that we would not dare wear anything deemed “inappropriate” by our parents or any other adult; at least most of us would not! Today’s society and children are a different breed altogether; they will push boundaries as far as they can and show more skin than we did in our bathing suits, regardless of what authority figures say or think. Dress codes are important in a public school to keep things at an even balance. Students can focus more on who they are than what they are wearing, improving their self-esteem. “School officials have a responsibility to provide a safe, secure, and productive learning environment.
Mandatory classes are used to set a basic system and to set standard classes for everyone, since everyone must learn the same things such as math, reading, and science. Indeed all these are important subjects that should be known, and skills that will be used throughout one’s life. But most people are not going to be using Pre-calculus, English Literature 4, Physics, or European History. It is a complete waste of time to have students struggle through a class that has nothing to do with their desired career. Yes classes should be mandatory, but to a certain extent; it should only be that a student has to take the basic core classes and then after decide what they want to study.
There is no doubt that children can learn even if they dress as they want. The question not addressed is to what extent fashion, and the tendency of moden children to focus on fashion, distracts from the academic program. This issue is generally avoided by those who argue that dress is unrelated to academics. High cost The economics of school uniform is hotly debated. School uniform was in part adopted by some American schools so children would not try to outdo each other with highh-priced designer clothes.
Poverty has been a very great hindrance to education in many developing countries. In some countries children have to go to work before attending school so as to get money for tuition and other requirements. Due to poverty children have to wake up early before sunrise and walk
Many parents can’t afford to send their kids to school with a lunch, and with the price of lunches going up how can we expect these children get the best education available? 50-100 years ago only middle class and upper class people were educated. Now every social class is attending school, and it is expected that every student obtain a certain level of education. An Increase lower economic levels has strained the educational system. On top of all this, there are students placed into classes that they are not properly prepared.
There are very few computers for to many students. I believe that the solution to this problem will be to build more computer labs. In this way we can be able to do all assignment and school projects. Each semester, students have to deal with the fact to get textbooks for the classes that must be taken. This has become a real issue for many students because as the school library the textbooks are been sell at a very high cost that we cannot afford.
This is something that has led parents to discuss and express their opinions for and against uniforms. The line is blurred for some. I see the line crystal clear. Boston Public Schools should not dictate the use of uniforms because not only does it suppress individuality, but it also hinders the experience of a comfortable school environment. Uniform by definition is constant, unvarying, and undeviating which directly contradicts the significance of individuality.
