Should the school uniform be abolished?

Some people say that the school uniform should be abolished because it removes their right to choose what they want to wear for the day. However, I disagree because the school uniform removes social barriers that might occur if people wear their own clothes to school. The school uniform the students are wearing would also instill in them pride of their school which would make them more disciplined when in public places or even when in the school.

The school uniform is very useful in making sure that social barriers that involve the students’ dressing does not occur because when everyone wears the school uniform there would be no distinction between the people who can afford good clothes and people who cannot afford good clothes or do not want to buy them. If everyone came to school wearing their own clothes, those who cannot keep up with the fashion in the school would be teased or insulted because a majority of the school would be wearing better clothes than them. Since there would be social tension with the students, lessons would be less productive because it would be harder to hold class discussions or have them do group work.

Wearing a school uniform removes the pressure of having to decide what to clothes to wear to school each day which allows the student to concentrate more on his studies or homework because if the school was to allow the students to wear their own clothes to school each day, when a student reaches home he would first try to find suitable clothes to wear for the next day due to the pressure of his peers wearing their best clothes. This would limit the amount of time actually spent on the student carrying out productive activities, not necessarily only academic work.
When wearing a school uniform, most students take more care to behave appropriately while in public places such as shopping malls or public libraries. This shows that the students would have more self-discipline while wearing their school uniform because they do not want to give their school a bad reputation for students who cannot behave themselves properly in public.

Even though people say that forcing students to wear a school uniform takes away their right to choose their own clothing, it is very clear that the school uniform has many benefits to the students by reducing peer pressure on choosing the best clothes to wear to school and allows him to devote his time to other activities. Forcing the students to wear the school uniform also removes social barriers that would otherwise occur if everyone wore their own clothes. Making students wear the school uniform benefits the school as well because when wearing the school uniform in public, students would have more self-discipline which would give the school a good reputation.

Overall, I think that making students wear the school uniforms benefits both parties-the school and the students making it a win-win situation even some people do not see it that way and that forcing students to wear the school uniform should not be abolished.

Descriptive paragraph

He stood on the edge of a broken window, looking out over the city. Beads of sweat rolled down his head as he watched the horizon fearing an attack from the enemy when they were unprepared. His comrade was standing beside him and he took comfort in knowing that he would not be alone on this hot and humid night watch. He breathed in a lungful of dusty air and licked his cracked lips in an attempt to keep them moist. Wishing that the supply of water was not so low, he stayed his hand not wanting to gulp his water down now. The remaining light disappeared quickly as the Sun seemingly sank into the ground and the two soldiers prepared themselves for a long night.
