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 contributes to decreasing behavior problems by: increasing attendance, lowering suspension rates, and decreasing substance abuse among students” (Million, June 1996). Students have an increase in spirit, self-esteem, and a feeling of being a part of a group when uniforms are worn in schools (Krystyniak, Frank 2001, June).…
When you send a girl home because her shorts are too short or her clothing is immodest you are telling her that covering up her body is more important than her education" (anonymous). School dress codes should not be as strict as what they are now.…
uniforms also makes some people feel like they're in jail because they all were the same close so it's like they have numbers.The main reason is we should have the right to where what we want (school students have to wear school uniform Debate.org)…

I am rarely ever the one to post, especially about my issues, but I am speaking for many. While the discussion and arguments about school dress code are going on so isn’t downgrading, stereotyping, and bullying. Many comments have been made by people who are stereotyping others for instance cheerleaders. We are being stereotyped as preppy, snobby, slutty, “the populars”, and the list goes on. We are being used in examples like “The people who wear intentional holey jeans and revealing clothing are “the populars” and cheerleaders.” And “The cheerleaders wear skirts hiked up their butts and push their boobs up to the sky, but I got in trouble for wearing the clothes I did, this is favoritism.” This being all untrue is stereotyping, downgrading…
When was the last time you saw a child in their school uniform? Probably quite recently. But have you ever thought how these children feel ? their entire school is wearing the same thing they are wearing? These children wear the same thing every single day they go to school. The only time they get to wear their own style of clothes is on the weekend. Making children wear the same thing everyday, thinking it's a good idea that helps them in school, probably only makes them hate school more. There are many reasons why school uniforms are a bad idea and should not be enforced on children. To start with, to buy them costs a lot of money. Secondly, school uniforms stop the child’s individuality from being expressed, keeping the entire school as…
When you see a young kid with no uniform on, it’s because they do not belong there and that right away points out the difference and who knows, maybe the kid could have been dangerous but we wouldn’t know because we pointed them out. If the school does not have uniforms then you wouldn’t be able to tell who goes there since everyone is dressed with outside clothing, a kid could be there just to sell drugs and then leave. With uniforms, they give not only the kids and parents but the staff a big relief on how simple it is to point someone out who belongs to that school. Uniforms give a sense of…
Identification is one of the biggest factors ruled in against school uniforms. Many people state that you could easily site outsiders of the school, and it would also eliminate gang colors. If you have a school full of children with the same clothing on you would find it nearly impossible to identify a child who was causing trouble. One example is if someone caught a glimpse of a child stealing and then tried to give a description. The description would most likely fit a majority of the students in the…
Public schools across the United States have been dealing with the issue of dress codes. As of 2008, twenty-two U.S. states specifically authorized schools to institute dress codes or uniform policies (8). School boards may generally create and enforce dress code, but they must do so without violating students’ constitutional law (9). Schools are finding difficulty in enforcing their dress code among students. Parents feel as if the schools dress codes are condoning their students for expressing themselves and say that it is unconstitutional and wrong. Parents, students, and administrators all have the idea of uniforms in the back of their mind but, they will have to give up things to have them. Though a dress code for high schools students is appropriate, uniforms would be a better option.…
This paper is about the issue of school uniforms and whether or not for schools (K-12) to require them. I analyzed three strong arguments from both sides of the issue. The side advocating uniforms argued that school uniforms keep students focused, which may lead to an improvement of grades. Advocates state uniforms deter students from crimes and save money for parents by relieving parents of the pressure of buying new clothes for every school year. The other side of the issue against uniforms in schools argue that uniforms threaten and infringe on student’s freedom of expression by requiring students to wear the uniforms with consequences if not hearkened. The opposition to uniforms also presented a study where the students oppose…
Individualism is a fundamental value in the U.S.A... We as Americans, believe in the rights of having freedom of speech and to express our own opinions without having the fear of being judged or punished by other individuals. Wearing school uniforms help show what school the students belongs, helps the teachers, faculty, and employees have guard against intruders and lessen the economic differences between students. So, therefore, I am all for school uniforms.…
The first school district in the United States to require all K-8 students to wear uniforms was Long Beach, CA, in January 1994. (Pro and con of school uniform). I believe all schools should have school uniforms. School uniforms add measures of safety in identical dress, Improve attendance and there is less bullying.…
Iman Abraham 8C-language arts Argumentative essay 11-25-14 Uniforms have been becoming a more and more common thing now lots of schools use them for nothing. They think it's a great idea but really is it? Parents spend hundreds of dollars every to buy their kids uniforms they will only wear once. Also why would you want to spend money on uniforms that are uncomfortable and a bourdon for families. They argue it provides a better education but schools have proven that they excel just as much or even higher than schools that inforce uniforms.…
I am choosing to write my research paper on dress codes in schools. It is a controversial topic with many sides (pros and cons) that affect how each individual views the subject. It is a topic that has been shown some light in recent years, especially in New York City. I thought about my friend who was sent home for wearing skinny jeans, along with some 200 other girls who were given detention for being “inappropriately” dressed at a Staten Island High School.…
All around the United States more and more schools and switching to the idea of school uniforms. Schools think that this uniform policy will help bring down crime rates, gangs, improve the schools over all academic achievement, and level out social discriminations among students. Although this theory may become true to someone who wants it to be true, other skeptics looking into this are finding that these positive influences from uniforms are merely misconceptions. Schools’ academic achievements are not influenced by the clothes that students have on their backs. Neither is the crime rate in that school. There were theories that gang members could sneak into schools by wearing that schools uniform and blending in with everyone. Some students are even saying that uniforms will not stop them from discriminating other kids since they still know who is rich and who is poor. Although our society thinks that forcing students to wear uniforms to school will cure all problems, they better think twice. School uniforms should not be allowed in public schools because they are not cost effective, they deprive students’ rights to express themselves, and lastly, they do not increase the status of the school who adopted the uniform policy.…
