Persuasive Speech
School uniforms should not be compulsory.
Hi I'm Thalia and I"m here to speak on behalf of students who oppose to wearing school uniforms.
I want you all to look at your uniform and think, why are you wearing that? What is the purpose? In this day and age, school uniforms are completely irrelevant to a students life. They should not be essential in our Australian schools. Uniforms are costly, do not help a students education in any way as well as take away a students right for freedom and expression. Clearly, school uniforms should not be compulsory and we need to abolish academic attire.
There aren’t many arguments in favor of forcing school uniforms. The best is that it camouflages which students are poor so that they don’t have to feel bad about what they wear. Honestly, that’s a weak argument. There aren’t many families that are poor to that extent and if they are they can’t afford a school uniform anyway. Our jumpers are $120 yet they are itchy and extremely uncomfortable to wear. The kilts are $200 yet they are ugly and heavy to wear. $320 for two articles of clothing. You could by a jumper and a skirt for every day of the week with that much money. Undoubtedly, our uniforms are way too excessive.
Our uniforms are not scholar super-suits. They do not make us smarter. They do not make us creative. They do not make us athletic. So why do we need to wear them? Surely you do not want to curb your creativity or feel like you’re going to prison everyday. Our uniforms can’t be worn places other than school and they have to be replaced frequently because of our growing bodies. Also, our uniforms are always either not warm enough or too hot. Our uniforms are unnecessary.
When we go to school we want to be seen as who we are. Uniforms make us equal and yes, we all want to be equal, but can’t you see that we are not the same? Can’t you see that we are different? It is understandable that the hallways are not catwalks but dress codes will be used so
