Some schools are very strict about their school uniforms and the appearance of their pupils, while other schools have a very relaxed dress code. What are the advantages and disadvantages of children of having a school uniform?

Nowadays many schools enforce the wearing of

school

uniforms

amongst their students,

however

, there are growing numbers of people who support and who are against the wearing of

school

uniforms

. In

this

essay, we shall go through the pros and cons of having a

school

uniform

. On one hand, the wearing of a

school

uniform

promotes the idea of unity and pride amongst students. One of the major problems that children face in schools is bullying and

this

is usually because of the clothes they wear. With

uniforms

,

this

problem is eradicated leaving the kids to concentrate on their studies and achieve the best possible results.

Uniforms

also

help to identify which youngsters belong to which

school

, in case they manage to skip a class or even go missing during a

school

trip. An example of

this

would be the schools in Dubai, where each

school

has a separate

uniform

, and no two

uniforms

resemble each other. There help as identity markers of the

school

. Alternately, people argue that wearing a

school

uniform

restricts a child from freely expressing themselves thereby pigeonholing their creativity and ability to make decisions. In a

school

, you will have different children from different backgrounds, both social and economic, and in the case of children who cannot afford a

school

uniform

, it can give rise to another sort of bullying. In conclusion, the wearing of a

school

uniform

or the enforcing of one can have various connotations amongst different people,

however

, I feel that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks.
