Uniforms A positive aspect or a negative one?

Where I come from,school kids have to wear uniforms. In both public and private schools. I must say...it cuts down on the expense of having to buy different clothes all the time. I agree with your perspective.

I feel that uniforms actually do help make decisions on topics which many students fell are most important, clothing. It does give people an equal opportunity to express individualtiy in another way. I agree with your aspects.

Although I agree with your perspective that uniforms bring out 'school spirit' and help recognize strangers who don't belong, I disagree that uniforms will actually diminish the bullying problems in schools. It is a natural 'instinct' for a person to belittle the enemy just to feel superior over him/her. Setting a uniformed dress code will just bring up new problems, kids may bully others because of their shoes or whatever. In an average American school, kids usually worry about how much they show than the designer clothes they wear. (A bigger problem is racial discrimination, and wardrobe has nothing to do with your color skin). It is true that we go to school for an education and not for a chance to show off, but then that is saying something like, "Why shouldn't everybody drive a Civic instead of Mercedes? We are all going the same place." The answer is to be different. In extreme cases when an 'unlucky' child (I use the term loosely) cannot afford expensive clothing, they adapt and create a new style of their own. To use a sterotype, Punks wear raggedy jeans, ripped shirts and show them off just as much as a Prep will show off his/her Abercrombie jeans. (Note: I am not saying all Punks wear raggedy clothing and I am not implying they are all poor either). To sum it all up, it would be boring for everybody to wear the same clothes everyday. Promoting diversity is a way to express ourselves, and some people wear nicer attire to stand out. Kids should have the freedom to wear what they want, as long as they don't suffer from 'wardrobe malfunction.' In your essay, please bring out more examples and how can wearing uniforms promote a better learning enviorment. Also add how uniforms 'instill students with discipline,' and you did not give a reason how wearing uniforms will help a student in his academics. <= Paragraph 4
