The Variable Dress Code: Pros And Cons

There’s been a lot of controversy on whether or not school uniforms should be a new school policy at many schools nationwide. Many people believe that school uniforms help students with their academic performance knowing that students will focus more on what they are learning than what they are wearing. Wearing uniforms will also help balance out judging other classmates on the clothes they wear and where they purchased them from. Other people have different thoughts on school uniforms and how they would affect their learning in a negative way. Many people think they have a negative impact on learning because a lot of their rights get taken away because they can’t express themselves and they have to be the same as everyone else. The price of school uniforms can get pretty pricy and when it come to people who aren't as privileged
According to the article “The Variable Dresscode: Pros and Cons of School Uniforms” they state that “students are not exposed to diversity and often times experience culture shock when facing individuality in the real world”. We already have school security systems, locks on doors, school police that are there constantly. If we had to wear uniforms then it would feel like more of a jail. Uniforms make everyone the same and then it makes it look like there is no diversity in the school. If uniforms were required no one would be happy because no one wants to be the same as everyone else leading some students to not do good in school. The school wants us to do good in our classes but if everyone is dressed the same and have to follow all the same rules then kids will try more to be different or rebel in other ways. Kids are taught to be individuals and to express themselves freely but when they are told to dress the same and act the same way as everyone else is it takes away their rights express
