Are school uniforms necessary? Many parents seem to think so. However, we students think otherwise. Complains of students disapproval in wearing uniforms has been rampant over the past few years. What of the merciless goverment demanding poor students, like a boy being forced to wear a dress? I personally, am one of the victims. Undeniably,students are required to wear uniforms by law. On the contrary, people fail to realise the inconveniences of pupils. Let me emphasis a few points why students should NOT wear uniforms.
Firstly, I strongly believe that student's self-expression would be greatly affected as students who are forced to wear uniforms will only find other, less appropriate ways to express themselves, possibly through inappropriate use of jewelry and makeup. Self-expression is an important part of child development and some experts believe that curbing it with uniforms can be detrimental to a child.
In addition, embarrassment is a major factor to. Most students who comes from not so reputable schools have to bare the consequences of having to be looked down at other students and their uniform is a source of identification. Moreover, Sometimes the school's uniform design might be so outdated that students refuse to wear them out of one's pride.
Another major factor is the cost of uniforms. The cost of school uniforms is a negative factor as those who see it as a positive factor. The increasing costs of uniforms that parents will have to buy for their children because the children will still want and need clothing for the hours they are not in school. Uniforms can be more expensive for a family who buys from second-hand stores or who relies on hand-me-down clothing from friends and family. To me, school uniforms are almost useless because there is no use for them outside of school!
To add to one's dismay, school uniforms materials might be uncomfortable as some children prefer a specific material or style of clothing. Uniforms reduce one’s ability to choose clothing that fits individual comfort needs. It is obvious that children need to feel comfortable in order to maximize learning, and that uniforms can therefore deter academic success.
Our live will be unbearable with uniforms with such factors of self-expression, price, comfortability and pride. Old men wise in the ways will shake their head in pity and lament for such a poor state we students are in.
