Students should not have to wear uniforms
“ Mum do I have to wear my uniform? ”Says Gracie.
“Yes you have to, ” replies mum.
“But why?” Gracie asks.
“Because you just have to” Mum says.
“Well I don't think I should have to!” says Gracie.
If you haven’t realised yet, Gracie and her mum are having an argument about uniforms. Now, I think uniforms are just plain awful!
My first main idea is that uniforms don’t allow individuality. Uniforms do not
allow individuality at all! Uniforms don’t let us show who we are. We have all
learnt since kindergarten that we are all different and clothes are a way of
presenting that. Individuality is very important for kids. Children should be
allowed to show their individuality at school. I think it is boring to wear the
same thing everyday and it’s bad enough that we are wearing the exact
same thing everyday and it’s bad enough that we are wearing the exact
same as everyone else. I think that some of you will agree that wearing the
same as everyone else is boring. Dressing the same as everyone around
us also doesn’t show who you are.
Now my second main idea is about school uniforms being expensive. When
kids have to wear uniforms it is not only a disappointment to the kids but to
parents as well because of having to pay for such expensive uniforms.
Uniform tops cost around about $36 and girls culottes are $65. Jackets and
jumpers are about $55. Bucket hats are $14.50. All together that is about
$170 and you will need about 2 of each item which is $346 and that is only a
girls uniform. A boys uniform is about $200. Another bad thing is that
uniforms are never on sale for any cheaper prize. Also, we will all eventually
grow out of our uniforms and need to buy the next size up. Lastly, there is a
high risk of it getting mixed up with all the other uniforms if it isn't named,
meaning our parents will have to hand over more money to purchase
replacement items if they’re not found.
My third and last idea is that uniforms have nothing to do with your learning
and are therefore an unnecessary part of school life. A uniform doesn't help
you to think, imagine or ask questions. Neither do they help you create new
ideas, work with others or work well in a team. I bet you could learn just as
well while wearing clothes of YOUR choice! Uniforms don’t have super
powers, they don’t make you smarter. They can’t help you solve equations,
write imaginative stories or understand tricky and sophisticated words.
Don’t you think it would be awesome to wear your own clothes to school?
As Billy Butler the american baseball er said, “When the game starts you
don’t really look at the uniforms.” So in conclusion, I strongly believe that
school uniforms should be banned from schools.
