Should School Uniforms Be Paid?

Decent Essays
Many schools around the world have extra funds to spend on stuff. They normally spend it on school supplies, technology, or raising teachers budgets. If your school announced that they had extra money to spend and were giving students the option to vote on what you wanted, what would you pick. This is my opinion for my school.
First of all buying new uniforms is a big one. Many uniforms at our school are not returned. Some uniforms are ripped or to dirty to clean. We are starting to get new uniforms but when I was younger the uniforms were really ugly and not very comfortable. Nicer and more comfortable uniforms might get more people active and playing sports like Basketball, Lacrosse, Soccer, Volleyball, Golf, Football, etc.

    Urban school districts have been making the switch to school uniforms at an ever increasing rate. Meanwhile, suburban school districts have been slower to make the move to uniforms, often citing that the benefits achieved from uniforms are restricted to high poverty urban areas.

    Think about this situation, you are at school and suddenly there is an earthquake tornado or some other natural disaster. Sadly most of the students are killed, later the parents are called in to help identify some of the remains. How are these parents going to figure out if this corpse is their child?

    There may be some back lash and negative feedback about the uniforms but the positives far outweigh the negatives. School uniforms help students focus more on their academics and become more motivated about their education. Uniforms reduce peer pressure by causing an equal playing field for all students.
