Assignment#14:Uniforms


When was the last time you were told to wear a certain variety of specific colors to school?When were you ever told to be a follower,not a leader?School uniforms defeats the purpose of being who you want to be.Without uniforms the students will look individual,and they can should how they feel and what they like.But then at the same time with uniforms it shows that the school is working together to try to better improve how the school looks and how the students look.Now a days you see everyone look alike, from work to school.

With uniforms in the school it could cause less problems.In school they teach you to not follow the crowd.They usually tell you "Oh if he did that would you do it too?" They also teach you that you should try to make your voice heard.Show who you want to be in life. It shows determination because it shows where you want to go in life.uniforms may have their pros and cons.

I think that the good things about having uniforms is that they can express the way people feel.They can show the things that they like to watch either on t.v or the music that they listen to.Whatever it may come to it shows the persons personalilty. Without uniforms school show that the students have freedom.But sometimes that freedom comes with responsiblities that some people just can't handle.They try to take freedom and take it to another level.

Some girls might try to wear little skirts that aren't appropriate from a school enviorment.They might also try to wear tight shirts. Some boys also try to dress really baggy,they also like to wear their boxers half way down their butt.So I think that people need to learn that there are going to be some restrictions with freedom and responsiblity.Another good thing about having uniforms is that it shows that the school is more focus on the students education.It also shows that the school and students like to look more together.

It shows that they are determinded to be someone in life.They are trying to make the school better by trying to focus more in the education they are recieving,instead of trying to worry what they are going to wear to the next school day.But by doing this the school looks more boring and dull.Uniforms are everywhere now,they came from way back when the military first started.To start working like a group first they had to look like one.Their uniforms show pride and justice they wear them happily.But not all places are the same.

Uniforms also occur in the workplace and the school enviornment,while wearing a uniform everyone looks the same right?Well with this fact students are being judged less because there isn't anything to compare them to.Everyone wears the same colors and the same way to wear the uniform.It is also harder for those students to get into specific groups or cliques.School uniforms are also ver expensive at sometimes. Every begininng of the school year parents have to buy their kids new uniforms because they are growing and they don't fit into last years uniforms,they also have no use out of school.

The students wear uniforms every day in school but once they get home what is the first thing kids want to do once they get home? They all take their uniforms of because they feel like they have been trapped all day looking like everyone else.Another good thing about having uniforms is that it can decrease the school crime that occurs in school.This happens because the students are more focused on their school work and they don't have time to worry or think about anything else. With uniforms in schools it also decreased sexual offences and fights between the students.This happens because students don't have things to bullied with such as the type of clothes you wear.

WIth school uniforms you can also see who belongs there and who doesn't.If someone is trying to be a threat they can tell who it is right away because they don't look like everyone else.In my opinion i like getting up in the morning and deciding what to wear.I can show how my mood is that day, or what i like.I don't want to be told that I can only wear the certain colors the school wants me to. If the students wear uniforms then don't you think the teachers should wear them to?

I mean it's only fair that if we get punished everyone else shall be punished as well. I believe that in private schools and boarding schools, uniforms are fine because you choose to go there. You have to be aware that in a private school you do have to wear them, but what if I 'm going to a public school and yet they are trying to make this enforced. And while we are at it why have names why not give us numbers while we are in school? they are much easier,right?But in the end I think that school uniforms are a big waste of money and it's like they want to tie you down and tell you what to wear and what not to wear.They teach us in school to be free and be who we want to be but with school uniforms we have no way of expressing ourselves.

So maybe it may come down to who votes yes and who votes no, well i think that the high schools every where shouldn't allow school uniforms because your not alloring the students to show their personalilties. Yes school uniforms have their good and bads but at the end it all comes down to how you really feel inside.Do you really want everyone to look alike and the school be boring or would you rather have them be free spirit?Yes people do take it out of hand sometimes but like i said before with freedom comes great responsibility. Clothing- whether it's style, designer label, or quality, shouldn't have to be an issue at school at all.
