Today, we are going to talk about the topic “Should students wear uniforms? ” And we will mention it especially in high schools. And I’m the one who support the idea of wearing uniforms. In the school’s opinions, they might think that wearing uniforms create a good atmosphere for learning. Also, some students view uniforms as the work clothes so they will take schools more seriously when they wear uniforms. Also, it’s a symbol of unity and pride. Some schools will design the uniforms to express their school spirits in styles or colors. In students’ opinions, they will think that uniforms make them look equal and break down the barrier of students because some family has more money that they buy expensive clothes to wear. And some students have low-fashion in wearing clothes. Maybe they will be bullied or mocked at. We will show you the situation.

 

Perlie: Oh Joanne, your cloth looks so beautiful! Where did you get it?

Joanne: I think it is fashion. I bought it in Sogo just for 5000 dollars.

Perlie: Oh so good!

Joanne: And when did you buy your pants?

Perlie: Actually, I bought it in traditional market last night.

Joanne: Oh really? I think your flowers are so ugly.

Perlie: But my mom bought it for me and it only costs her 99 dollars.

Joanne: Oh maybe you won’t have friends wearing this pants.

 

Maybe some situations like that.

I think that students wearing uniforms will behave more cautiously. If you are taking a bus and you sit on the seat that you are not supposed to sit. With the uniforms, you will yield the seat to the elders but if you are not wearing the uniforms, you will pretend to sleep. Also, wearing a uniform makes students be proud of their schools and gain a sense of security because everyone looks equal. To parents, they might think that wearing uniforms is economical because they don’t need to spend lots of money buying clothes for students. It’s kind of economical. Some girls in our school will spend lots of time choosing what to wear everyday so wearing uniforms can cut up the time for choosing. I found a news in Hungary. There were students protesting against dress code by wearing underwear…just everyone wore underwear to the courses like this course. They want to show that they don’t want to obey the dress code. But, in that case, I think dress code is a necessary norm in our society because not only students…if you go to work, dress code is important, too because it’s kind of showing your attitude to class or to work. And wearing appropriately makes people fit the society and they can identify their roles in class or at work.

We know that in American early times, they didn’t take the measures of wearing uniforms because they think that wearing uniforms violate the spirits of freedom. But, now, actually, more and more American schools accept the idea of wearing uniforms. One reason is economic depression that makes them adopt this measure.  Students might think that it is very interesting because they can think of the styles and create or design what they want to wear. One of American girls, 15 year-old, thinks that wearing a tie or skirt may not be the ingredients of her favorable outfits but if she is given a choice, she will not throw away the idea of wearing uniforms because she kind of likes it.
