Students can learn from uniforms in numerous different ways. Social pressures are what cause most scholars to dress inappropriately. If school uniforms are enforced students will learn modesty and chastity from repeated clothing choices every school day. Dictating school attire can also ensure that pupils of all races and backgrounds are welcome into any school. The schools that are confining apparel will set precedents for several other schools and encourage uniforms. School uniforms demonstrate what most occupation dress codes will go by from a day to day basis. Most workplaces require a strict dress code that does not allow racy and apathetic clothing. Uniforms illustrate professionalism in workplaces and overall prevent laziness. Lastly, uniforms show respect for your school, elevating the desire to represent your school.…

None of the schools I have attended had a uniform requirement and many students dressed in ways I found inappropriate. The private school I attended had a strict dress code but public school teachers often overlook the violation of dress code. School uniforms bring a more formal look; giving the school a better reputation and creating a sense of belonging among the students. My style is very diverse and reveals my general interests, whether it be nerdy shirts, girly clothing or vintage outfits from the 40's. Personally, I have always been comfortable in my clothing whether I fit in with others or not. In fact, I always prefer to look different and I have more than enough clothing to express my unique style. I do, however, have friends that always feel under pressure to wear the right clothing and often borrow clothes from me. It is reasons such as these why all schools should require uniforms. School uniforms may be the prominent aspect of our society’s road to success in educating its…
Most every high school in America has its own set of "cliques" or social castes whose members mingle mostly within the one clique. Many schools have unique groups according to the area such as "surfers", "snow bunnies", and "hicks" referring to people who surf, snow ski/board, or take on more rural looks. However, most schools share some common groups such as "preppies" who are usually the upper class students with more money, "goths" who are earmarked by their usually black clothes and body piercings, "geeks/nerds" who are the scholarly students, "jocks" who participate in sports and school activities, and usually "cheerleaders" make up their own clique although most often belonging to the preppie group. No matter how integrated one may think their school is, it is more than likely that upon closer observation the discrimination between groups will become quite clear. After all, social cliques are a normal and healthy phase of adolescent life that aid in the learning of social norms and general cultural practices.…
It's going to be hard trying to identify two to five hundred students if they're wearing different types of clothing. Many public schools have at least two hundred or more students enrolled. For example, if an incident was to happen School Officials would have a difficult time trying to find someone. The students are assigned to wear a certain color according to their grade level. Therefore, students wear uniforms to make the jobs of the officials easier.…
It’s believed that with every student wearing the same outfit, there will be less indicators of wealth between what people wear, resulting in less students being bullied because of their clothes. Although, this theory may be true for some, bullies do not always pick on their targets based on their outfits. There are many other aspects of people that are unaltered by school uniforms, which bullies can use.…
Many educators do not believe in the positive outcomes of uniforms. They believe it is theory that uniforms will improve behavior and social outcomes because “in reality, they don’t”. (KIDS) One of their thought against uniforms is that uniforms teach children that in order to get along everyone must fit to the same standards. Dressing every student the same gives a false idea that everyone is at the same economic level. Instead, students should be able to notice the difference of social classes in their school, and be able to get along with anyone. Another idea is that uniforms interfere with students’ rights for self-expression and limits them to different knowledge. With uniforms, a student is not able to express what their personality and likes. Also, students who choose their own clothing each school day learn to adapt to shifting social standards and learn skills that will serve them well as adults.…
Clothes are an expression of a student’s personality. By suppressing their opportunity to show their unique personalities, schools are teaching that uniformity is more valuable than individuality. “School uniforms send a clear early-life message to students that conformity is important and creativity is not” (youdebate.com). Geeks, for example, might express themselves by wearing thick glasses, suspenders and long socks. On the other hand, outgoing students might wear vibrant colors and outlandish fashion. Then, there are shy children, who might choose to wear long clothing and mostly black. These are just a few examples of students dressing according to certain categories with which they might identify themselves. The possibilities of individually expressing oneself through clothes are infinite. However, uniforms stifle these possibilities; they keep students from expressing their personality.…
Many students feel that with uniforms they will not be recognized as individuals. Students often feel that their wardrobes define who they are as people. Even though school uniforms do take away a person 's right to show his or her individuality through clothing, the advantages certainly outweigh the disadvantages in this case. Students would probably be more accepting of the idea of school uniforms if a more casual style of uniform were adopted than a formal traditional style (Kelly).…
Students wearing school uniform will be dressing the same whether they are from a rich or poor background. Therefore, the self esteem of a child will not be brought down amongst their peers, bringing a sense of equality between students. Coming from wealthy/standard/poor living would make a big difference when social cliques are made. Social cliques are often made by basing the student’s ethical or financial background. These lead to bullying and harassment which leads to suicide. Hence school uniforms reduce incidents of violence, bullying and harassment and by doing so it makes the students feel secure at school. School has to be a place for students where they feel safe and to be safe; schools have to have a good environment and surrounding. A school uniform also indicates the discipline of the school.…
“Clothes are a source of expression for children, and as kids get older, they become increasingly resentful of uniform by instituting a uniform policy, schools are taking away from kids’ individuality schools need to decide if that sacrifice is worth making.”- Dr. Alan Hilfer. To me the author of this quote meant that is the sacrifice of looking alike instead of individuality really worth the payoff in the long run. A survey done by David L. Brunsma from the University of Alabama said uniforms didn't make the students any more prepared than students who don't wear uniform and schools with uniforms test scores were not higher than those without uniform. The way you dress is an essential to their upbringings as they learn things about themselves. Schools who do not encourage uniform is a place that students would actually want to attend.…
When students wear uniforms in schools there are positive effects on safety and it raises the esteem of the educational surroundings. Dressing alike in schools deters the wearing of certain colors that can be interpreted as gang colors. Being allowed to wear baggy pants in schools makes it easy to carry weapons onto school grounds. School “uniforms are attributed to decreasing behavior problems by: increasing attendance, lowering suspension rates, and decreasing substance abuse among students” (Gurskey, 1996, p. 46). Students have an increase in spirit, self-esteem, and a feeling of being a part of a group when uniforms are worn in schools (Thomas et al, 1992, 1994). School uniforms will help lighten any stress on students to fit into a certain group. There will be no competition with fashion and everyone will feel equal.…

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, accuracy is “freedom from mistake or error: the quality or state of being accurate: the ability to work or perform without making mistakes” ("accuracy," 2014). Precision, however, is “the quality of being precise” ("precision," 2014). That doesn’t really help with the definition much. After subsequently checking the definition for precise it means to be “very careful and exact about the details of something” ("precise," 2014). The most notable difference in the definitions of these two words, according to the dictionary, is that to be accurate it is not necessary to be careful about the details of something as it is to be precise. This seemed to be a bit confusing until it is realized that it is possible to perform without making mistakes while estimating measurements accurately. However, to be precise takes a bit more discipline and a desire to perfect what is being measured with exactness.…
