I like the idea of uniforms in schools. It prevents people picking on others because their family doesn't make enough money to buy the expensive clothes. And for all those who say it takes away indivuality, I think that's so stupid because you're only in school for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, there's plenty of time to express yourself when your not in school. School is for learning, and not so much for social reasons.
Reply:Hate because no one can express their true self as how they want to be remembered we would all be blobs like on that one show on fairly oddparents when he wishes that everyone was the same.
Reply:Quite honestly, unless they are completely comfortable, and decent looking, everyone will HATE IT!
Reply:Pro: It eliminates the out-of-control fashion hysteria that school children get caught up into, placing huge peer pressure on kids that can't afford Brand-name clothes. It also creates a sense of discipline in that it "requires" a measure of adherence to "rules". It can also help to build a strong school identity.


Cons: Useless for anything else. Always expensive - due to custom-made requirement and "low" commercial volume. Some schools take it too far - they end up with summer, winter, senior and junior uniforms - all adding to cost.





Suggestion: High schools should use follow-up shirts and blouses, socks and perhaps overcoats that can be worn by juniors from their previous school - typically from the feeder-primary school. Also - stick to one color shoe. Use ties, school badges and headwear to differentiate.





That my thoughts. Now add yours - or pick mine apart. Cheers.





BTW - We have school uniforms as compulsory in New Zealand. It works well.
Reply:I've never been to a school that required them. As a student, I would have felt like a clone with little freedom of expression.





But from an adult perspective I can see there might be a few benefits. It would enable students to be able to focus more on the inner personality, values, intelligence of each other instead of focusing on superficial things like their clothing.
Reply:Pros: Easy to get ready in the morning


Cons: No self expression
