When students have to wear the school uniform, they can’t express themselves through their clothes. We students need to wear normal clothes so we can express ourselves. If we have school uniforms for next year, that means we have to wash clothes every single day. I used to wear school uniforms when I was little. We had to wear a white shirt and blue pants or a skirt. We will get tired of the school uniforms that we wear every day.…
Lastly, students do not like uniforms. They are usually uncomfortable, and aggravating. They actually lower self-esteem and school spirit, contrary to popular belief. If the students do not want them and if they do not serve any useful function, why should they ever be…
“I am a successful nurse and still struggles when it comes to buying uniforms. I basically buy two wardrobes for all three of my daughters ,that hate hand-me downs,I know the poor people deals with even worst “ (Dorothy Baker) . Cost is one reason why school dress code should be changed, but behavior is another big reason…
Public schools should require students to wear uniforms. I say this because I've attended a public school where we had to wear uniforms. The difference between the students wearing casual clothes and uniforms is noticable. Many students attend public schools, and it would be best if uniforms were required, due to diversity, to help identify students, and to keep organization.…
As the end of the summer approaches parents often start to stress out knowing that their kids are going to want a new wardrobe, equipped with designer labels, for the upcoming school year. When I went to public school in Dayton Texas my parents would spend about three hundred dollars per child on clothes and shoes for a new school year. That’s almost one thousand dollars for three children to have “cool” back to school clothes. With the school uniforms policy in affect parents are only expected to spend about $162 per child (Wilde, Kakoulas and Modenbach). There are also foundations and uniform drives for those who can’t afford the certain things some schools may require. I attended a Catholic high school where uniforms and dress codes were strictly enforced and sometimes the cost could add up. Previous students who already graduated would donate their old uniforms for children who could not afford both the high tuition cost and the cost of uniforms. In an article from Education World’s website they suggest that adopting a foundation for making arrangements for needy families (School Uniforms: Panacea or Band Aid).…
When thinking about a uniform you think of a police officer or maybe even someone in the military, but what about uniforms in school? Today, there are more schools than ever that are considering switching to uniforms to keep things equal and professional throughout the student body, but is it fair to make restrictions to students on being able to express themselves personally? Students may feel like they are being cheated on personalization and freedom to express who they are but the safety and security of the student body is more important than expression of style. The school system is struggling more and more each day to maintain a sense of security and organization with the ever growing concern of bullying, crime rates, sexual distractions, and social inequalities. Uniforms will help create a more controllable and relaxed atmosphere for students and school employees alike.…
In a financial point of view, school uniform may be sometimes pricey, but it can save money by diminishing the need to buy new clothes. As school uniform could be worn 5 days a week, there is lesser…
One of the reasons that school uniforms should not be allowed in schools because they are not cost effective. One reason why they are not cost effective is because some families cannot afford multiple uniforms, plus the clothes that students wear outside of school (Pakhare 1). Unlike the students who can afford three, four, or five uniforms, the poorer students’ one uniform will look worn out and used by mid-semester compared to everyone else (Stainburn 1). It will be easier to pick out the kids who cannot afford much. The social boundaries that uniforms were trying to get rid of will still occur with or without them (Cruz 47). The second reason behind why school…
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Benjamin Franklin once said this, and I think It applies well to the proposed implementations of a uniform.…
So, who wouldn’t want to wear their regular clothes to school everyday and show off all the name brand stuff they have? The answer is simple the less fortunate students in the public school system. The fact of the matter is uniforms are inexpensive and convenient for parents as well as students. The basic uniform consists of a polo style shirt and slacks or a polo style shirt and a pleated skirt which cost at the maximum about fifteen to twenty dollars. With this being said the less fortunate families as well as the other families can get as many school uniforms as needed. This can make living conditions better for some of these students because parents can save money. And because of easy access to school uniforms if damaged, they can easily be replaced. Now, who wouldn’t want to wear uniforms?…
As previously stated, money is an issue to many people and even if it is not who does not want to save some? With uniforms being mandatory at schools parents only have to go to the uniform store and buy a couple of pairs for their children while if there is no dress code you have to buy expensive clothing and spend time in multiple stores looking for it. Many will argue and say how is having a uniform pairs of clothing and a going out pairs of clothing saving us money and the answer to that is simple, uniforms are cheap and are created with a great deal of resilience which means they will last a very long time and much money will not be spent them. Also in response to the previous argument wearing non uniform clothing to school requires more and more clothes to be bought when something gets “out of style” or outdated and that in the long run is defiantly more expensive.…
School uniforms can help save your time and money. Most people don’t understand that they take way too long just to get their outfit ready for school the next day; they also spend way too much money to make sure that their clothes are “in style”. Instead of doing productive things in theirs lives, they spend it on trying to fit in. You may not know this, but according to Generation X Finance, the number two reason why people are broke or bankrupt is because they think they are rich, therefore, they keep “investing”. Don’t get me wrong, a fancy new is cool and all, but it isn’t an investment. Another example are the expensive clothes; people think that they have to keep on buying clothes like that so it matches the rest of their clothes. School uniforms can help reduce bankruptcy and save people’s time. As well as save yout time and…
Sad as it might seem, uniforms are only stimulating commercial interests. They are not solving the concerns that they are geared for. In fact, numerous companies treat the uniform system as a major source of profit. After all, Americans give out a whopping $1 billion dollars every year just for uniforms! While the profits that come from uniforms help grow the American economy, they don’t support it the right way. Consumers – sadly, the low-income ones – suffer a lot because of these high costs and commercial interests. You wouldn’t want the poor to get the poorer, and the rich to get richer – especially if it’s the wrong, selfish…
Parents have to go out of their way to find the right uniform and spend ridiculous money on buying them. Majority of parents won’t buy more than five uniforms. Every day when you get home from school, your parents have to wash your uniforms so you can wear them the next day. Parents might have better things to do than wash your clothes every afternoon after school just so you won’t be out of dress code. You are wearing the same dirty clothes over and over again while you have nice, clean clothes in your closet that you can’t wear to school. This is the biggest reason why school should not have uniform.…
Some parents believe that schools should not have school uniform for one reason: cost. The cost of school uniform is something that troubles many parents across the UK as the price of school uniform has increased considerably over the past few years. What makes the situation worse for many is when their child's school changes their uniform. Many schools in order to receive extra funding from the government have changed their status to academy; when they do this they often change their uniform to try and present a new image to the public about the school. This means the parents have to buy their child a whole new uniform. It also means that hand me downs or buying second hand is no longer an option which is what many people try to do when buying new school uniform for their child.…
