Some schools are very strict about their school uniforms and the appearance of their students, while other schools have a very relaxed dress code. What are the advantages and disadvantages of children of having a school uniform?
A number of schools have made it a rule that
students
must appear in their uniforms
meanwhile others do not find it necessary. Although
, wearing uniforms
confers an identity and a sense of responsibility to students
, however
, there are a few drawbacks.
On one hand, there are a lot of reasons why students
need to be adequately dressed. An important one is that it gives them an identity. Meaning that a student can easily be assigned to a school
that wears a such
uniform. Hence
, it can help with the accountability of each student's behaviour outside the school
premises. For instance
, a high school
teenager in the U.S.A. was identified stealing on camera because of his uniform, eventually leading to his arrest and being brought to justice. Furthermore
, in addition
, wearing uniforms
gives some sense of responsibility to school
pupils. They not only learn to wash their school
wears at home but also
iron them adequately so that they can look good to class every day. Therefore
, this
may eventually become a habit which would help them to maintain cleanliness at all times.
On the other hand
, the wearing of school
uniforms
has become outdated. Many school
frown at this
because they found it too cliche and it is fast becoming old-fashion. Also
, some students
do not find them attractive so they feel uncomfortable wearing a particular design of cloth to school
every day. Additionally
, maintenance of uniforms
can be worrisome to parents unlike wearing other outfits. That is
, consistent wear of the same clothing every day can cause them to fade easily, get torn or expire. As a result
, parents might have to be buying new school
uniforms
at frequent intervals.
In summary, the benefits of wearing uniforms
to school
outweigh its faults. I think school
authorities should encourage school
children to wear uniforms
as this
will go a long way in monitoring them.Submitted by peteromisakin on
