The debates over establishing school uniforms last for years. Each side has strong arguments for and against the induction. Let’s consider the facts.
Pupils, especially teenagers, dislike dealing with regulations and rules. Everyone wants to be free. Pupils try to go up with the latest fashion. Of course, not everyone can afford to stay up-to-date. Nevertheless this problem is not peculiar for most of pupils.
Parents and school administrators consider the question of uniform’s implement a big and a serious one. However most of the debaters find such establishment to be a positive one. Parents and pupils should voice their opinion. Students need to give their personal arguments. Take the decision in positive way.
Is clothing some kind of symbolism? Many people consider it to be a speech form. But let’s not forget that some kind of clothes is disrupting, it may offend others. Students want to wear thing they like, but they also need to deal with school standards. So dress code compared to school uniform is a better option for students. Students won’t be upset by such innovations, as dress codes are less strict. If the dress code is moderate, conflicts among the students do not increase. And all are satisfied – students, parents, and even school administration.
Dress code may be a solution for some schools, as it decreases misconduct between students. This turns out to be a great start. Gangs stay the only reason many American school prohibit students to wear the clothes they want and establish school uniforms. Nor garbs, neither the colors of the gang are displayed.
School administrators believe that uniform makes pupils feel proud of the place they study at. There are no barriers between socioeconomic groups, all are equal at school. When keeping to the school uniform, some kind of a school example is set, it represents the community. There are no fashion fights.
But some people have arguments against school uniforms. First of all students lack the individuality, clothing is the way young people express themselves. Why everyone should look the same, if we are all different? Students have no freedom of choice. The cost issue is not the least one as well. Not every family can afford buying extra clothes (school uniform cannot be worn after classes or on the weekends).
At the same time new school uniforms are updated, and generally speaking they suit the time.
