Uniforms In Schools

Improved Essays
Almost all kids go to school. Schools all over the world should be an enjoyable place. Uniforms do not make students happy, and they harm their learning. There are endless downfalls by having them. A school without uniforms will be more successful. Schools should not have uniforms because students cannot express their personality, they cannot dress for the weather, and students cannot express the sports or bands they like. Every person who attends school should have the right express who they are by their clothing. Many students who are in after school activities such as clubs or sports, should be able to embrace and show off the clubs they are in. Student Council, Art Club, and the Drama Club are all activities that scholars can participate

    NLCATPorg writes, “…There would always be the bullies that would want to take advantage of anything they could get their hands or eyes on” (7 Critical Pros and Cons of School Uniforms). It is ignorant to believe that clothes are the only source of bullying. Even with uniforms, most schools do not limit the type of shoes that children can wear. The pressure shifts from needing to wear the nicest clothes to wanting the nicest shoes to fit in with peers.

    Preston High School should not adhere to a school dress code because it limits self-expression, high initial cost and can be very uncomfortable. Students should not have to wear uniforms at school because students do not want to have to wear the same thing as other students or look alike.

    These indicators can be as simple as the difference between a designer brand and a nameless brand or a piece of jewelry that sets them apart from others. The big point is that kids will find a way to set them apart from others that are not in their group. Uniforms really are no help in trying to equalize students. As well as not being efficient equalizers, uniforms can also create hostility between other schools. While uniforms do create a little sense of belonging within a whole school group, it also creates “us” and “them.” This may cause violence problems with other…

    However, when students are allowed to express themselves they often abuse that power. In the article “Do uniforms make the school better?” the author, Marian Wilde talks about an incident where uniforms could have avoided a conflict where parents sued the school.

    Student will all look as if they have the same economic status, but will not have the individuality that makes them interesting and unique. Because of the lowering self-image, students will not feel more connected to their school community (“School Uniforms”). Also, when everyone is dressed the same students (generally female) will compare how each other looks in the uniform. A student can lose confidence based on how bad they feel they look, and not perform as well in school. In a standard dress school, students can wear clothes they like and feel comfortable wearing.…

This way, every child can have a chance to…
