Persuasive essay Mandaory School Uniform

Have you thought about how your family, your home, music and even television have influenced you on the way you behave or even dress? While I was in middle school it was mandatory for all students to wear uniform and I loved it, i felt welcome into the school and since every one had to wear the same thing no one was bullied and i became a straight A student sice i would only focuse in school. Then high school came along and I hated being there, since i couldnt affford all the nice clothes or shoes people had, i was bullied and the only thing that keep me motivated into going to school was that both my parents didnt finish high school and had to drop out to take care of their family. When i was bullied i would just think to myself and say i know that at the end of the day i will have the better laugh, and thats what happened. Most of the schools that require uniforms have a structure or a certain color that all students have to wear, but the one that dont require uniform uniform, majority of them hav a strict policy on the things they can wear. Now have you thought about what uniform would have done or did to you if you had or did wear uniform? When you are going to put your child into school, most parents think about the cost of school and the money they are going to waste during the school year. well, if you put your child in a school that has uniform you will not be waisting a lot of money on clothes just to make them fit in, they also wont be bullied and they have a great chance of studying better. Clothing competition is going to be eliminated, no student is going to have the urge to waste so much time in the morning just looking for clothes, to just impress other students and since they dont have to do that they will feel relieved that they dont have to fit in and they will also resist peer pressure on buying trendy clothes. of course that would be for students who's parents cant afford axpensive clothing. this will make every feel like they are equal and that they belong there and will keep all intruders out of the school. Wearing uniforms increase academic performance because students pay more attention in class than what the other student is wearing. this will eliminate havin cliques and every one will be equal and give the confidence. Also students attendance goes up, since students are focused and they are not being bullied they become more interested in school. This allows each students to get confident in themselves. Wearing uniform also controls every ones behavior problems, many of the students try to stay out of trouble, so it would encourage discipline. Having uniform will create a professional, businesslike atmosphere, which helps reinforce that students are at school to work and not to play. Just as much as there are good things for having uniforms there are also bad things to them as well. As i mentioned before many parents think that by there child wearing uniforms the schools is violating their freedom of exxpression. Of course, bullying will come a long with all of this and the bullies doesnt have to be from there own school it can be with other schools as well. Not having uniforms can also be a big problem for families that dont have money since they dont have a lot of money. Most school that dont have uniforms have very strict policy on what they have to wear. For example, in Napa, California required students to wear solid colors and they are banned to wear images or logos on their clothes. Also in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this schools doesnt allow them to wear any decorations, symbols, mottoes words that convey crude, vulgar, profane, gang-related messages, baggy clothes, holes in the clothes, visible undergarments, tights, leggings, bike shorts, swin suit or pajamas, visible percing other than the ones in the ear. Those are all things that school dont allow students to wear in school with out uniforms. Individuality is another thing that people contradict with school uniforms, majority of the people say that the best interest of the child is to try to control socialization, which is a part of human nature. they also believe that school uniform does not prepare children for the real world, in which more of the outside world will judge them on their appearance. It will also take away their comfort zone and parents say that it reduces there ability to choose their clothes and it gives their child an individual need.
