I think that school uniform shouldn't be banned in schools. I think this because although I agree that non-uniform clothing gives students a chance to express themselves, I think that uniforms makes students feel like they are part of the school, and that they should be proud to belong to the school. Students wouldn't be discriminated because of the clothes they wear. Uniforms help pupils get into the correct, working state of mind, and it gives a good impression of the school.





If you were to wake up every morning and sit there for half an hour trying to decide which of your clothes would be best to wear in order to impress others at school, you would surely have to skip breakfast every morning. Then imagine you went to school and found that others thought your shirt was lame. You would be bullied and discriminated against for what you wear. Also if you went on an excursion and happened to lose your class in a crowded area, I would wish you good luck trying to get help to find them again. Now I understand some of you believe that having no uniforms would give the children the ability to express themselves. But how is this necessary at school? They don't need to express themselves to other students or teachers during school. They can express themselves among their friends out of school, when they aren't required to wear a uniform.

Everyone would be wearing the same uniform, making them all feel a part of something, the school. They should be proud of this. Some of you argue that uniforms are bland and boring, but they are made to be formal and simple, like a suit, in order to represent the school positively.

P.S. I am in class right now, sitting in a school uniform on the iPad the school has provided me with. I am a grade 9 student and wrote this on the spot.
