“All students should wear uniforms”.
Do you agree?
School uniforms are the compulsory garments worn by students. They can be in
different styles and colours. Over the years, wearing school uniforms have been the
rule in many schools. Some people are opposed to the use of school uniforms.
However, uniforms play an important role in the education system. The use of
uniforms should continue because it saves money, it gives one a sense of belonging
and it encourages equality among students.
School uniforms would help make all the students feel equal. People’s standards
of living differ greatly, and some people are well-off while others are not. People
sometimes forget that school is a place to get education, not to promote a “fashion
show.” Implementing mandatory school uniforms would make all the students look the
same regardless of their financial status. School uniforms would promote pride and
help to raise the self-esteem of students who cannot afford to wear stylish clothing.
In conclusion, there are many benefits to implementing mandatory school
uniforms for students. The use of uniforms should not be stopped because students
learn better and act more responsibly by abiding to dress-codes. Every school should
require uniforms in order to benefit both the students and society as a whole.
