Throughout the years, there has been much debate with schools across the country on whether or not students should be allowed to wear uniforms. Through past experience with this argument, it’s safe to say that wearing a uniform is not a bad thing at all. Why? For one, uniforms stop other students from being judged on how they look, two, they save families money and students will not pressure their parents into buying clothes some families can’t afford, and lastly uniforms increase safety and security. So I do strongly agree that students should be able to wear uniforms.…
Kids should not have to wear school uniforms. The first amendment of the United States constitution states that people have the right to express themselves freely without backlash or controversy. In this paper, we will debate on the cons of school uniforms.…
School uniforms are an outdated tradition. School uniforms have been around for many years, but in this day and age, isn’t it time schools begin to phase out uniform and allow students to make their own decisions on what they wear to school? The main topics are comfort, cost and respect. I believe that allowing mufti in schools is in the best interest of the students and families.…
“When you put on a uniform, there are certain inhibitions that you accept”, said Dwight D. Eisenhower. School uniforms first entered the United States of America in 1994 with Long Beach, California adopting the idea (Portner, Jessica). These uniforms vary in what they look like (School Uniforms) and schools with school uniforms have had an increase in safety (Dress Codes) and school academics (School Uniforms and the Courts). School uniforms have many benefits that are helpful for their schools and their students.…
People who are against the implementation of school uniforms will argue that they subtract students’ liberty to make decisions and don’t let the wearer feel distinctive and unique. They hamper the necessity for individuality in a student by taking away their sense of…
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…
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…
Everyone thinks their school is the best, but there are a few things people like to improve. Recently we were asked what one thing we would change about East Jordan Public Schools. The most important reason found was to have school uniforms. In some cases it has shown to improve graduation and attendance East Jordan Public Schools must have school uniforms because ruling of dress code, wearing own clothes, and judging others’ clothes.…
I have three or more points on why I am for school uniforms and why others are against uniforms. When students wear school uniforms, it shows what school they belong. For instance, if there were no uniform policy, anyone could walk into the school building fitting into the crowd with everyone else and the employees of the school would not know who belongs and who doesn’t belong. There could be a stranger waiting in the boys or girls bathroom waiting to harm one of the students. If the schools go with the uniform policy, this will help stop this action from occurring. If…
In public and private schools, students are constantly being judged on what they wear and how they look. These judgments influence students to pick on others and induce bullying. If schools make uniforms mandatory, this cause of bullying would be eliminated, thus reducing the number of bullying incidents. Therefore, school uniforms should be required for all students because they will reduce bullying, relieve stress and make school a safer place.…
The purpose of my speech is to relate to you why school uniforms are essential not only to our children’s self-esteem, but their safety and education as well.…
People say that being forced to wear school uniforms violates student’s rights, makes students easy targets for bullying, and it can also be a financial burden for families who are not as wealthy as others. People who like the idea include teachers and staff. They like the idea of school uniforms because of the positives it brings to the school and because it makes the school look better. What about the kids who go to the school and have to wear the uniforms? People do not get to hear their opinion and what the students think about this issue. Having the students talk and express their minds and share their thoughts about it could possibly make an impact on other people’s views. According to www.ehow.com, financial difficulties, and individual expression are some examples about school uniforms. Students need to learn to express themselves and their wardrobes. School…
1) The issue I am addressing is why schools with children from kindergarten through 8th grade and some high schools need to enforce a mandatory school uniform policy to lessen the theft and violence and bullying in schools. My proposal is important and it matters because innocent students are getting, bullied, hurt, and killed because of what they are wearing and if we enforce my claim then the number of these can possibly go down. This matters to the parents, school students, school faculty, school administrators, and our future generation, because it affects all of us in several different ways.…
Schools uniforms are just another way to oppress students. They are a bad idea for any school. School uniforms are not a good idea because they restrain students from expressing their own form of individuality and they are not comfortable. Schools all over the country are talking about making uniforms mandatory. This is an abomination, and unfair to students.…
In 1996 President Bill Clinton promotes a dress code following his demand for school uniforms. This is when school uniforms became the "hype" of the nation. That is also when many people came to the conclusion in their own minds that school uniforms should come to affect, which is because it SHOULD take affect!In 1999 two armed students killed 13 people within class coarse. Those two boys were able to bring in weapons because they had long, baggy clothes on which hid the weapons. This made the nation thinks highly of protecting schools and school uniforms/dress codes. (Cruz 14) This is also an example of why school uniforms should take affect.…
