Band 6.5

In many countries, school children are required to wear school uniforms. Do you think this should be enforced in all school?

#countries #school #children #uniforms
In many countries, the number of high schools that permits students to decide what to wear to
school
 is increasing.
However
, students are still required to wear uniforms when attending
school
 and in my opinion,
this
 is something that should be enforced in all schools for the following reasons. Primarily, students, especially those in their teenage age, are under pressure both academically and socially.
therefore
Suggestion
Therefore
 insisting on a standardized
uniform
 within the
school
 would alleviate some of
this
 as it means that the students do not have to worry about what their peers think of their dressing or if they are wearing the latest fashion.
This
 has the added advantage of those from lower-income families who may not be able to afford the clothes worn by those from richer families.
Secondly
, wearing uniforms to
school
 does not only remove social pressure, but
also
 has a psychological advantage, as the students are dressed in the mode of attire used for the study.
For instance
, much like wearing a suit and tie may signal go to work for many people, whereas, wearing a
school
uniform
 prepares the child for the day of learning. 
However
,
this
 perhaps works best for younger students. By age 16 or 17 students may not be too comfortable to wear
school
 uniforms as the idea of 'conforming' by wearing a
uniform
 could discourage them from pursuing
further
 education and
this
 is often the time when young adults are looking to establish their own clear identity. It is at
this
 point that it may be appropriate for the students to wear more casual clothing
such
 as jeans and T-shirts when they reach their later teens. In conclusion,
although
 a
school
uniform
 does have advantages at certain stages of a student's academic career, there is
also
 a time when the enforcement of a standardised set of clothing may be tending to hinder the achievement of a goal.
