Answer:

School uniforms and why students wear them has been a topic of concern and debate for as long as these clothes have been around. Though people who argue that wearing uniforms in educational institutions make people appear all equal, give a sense of community, and teach discipline, I believe there are more disadvantages to wearing uniforms than advantages. Namely, demanding students to adorn uniforms takes away freedom, they are often uncomfortable, they are a waste of money, they promote conformity over individuality, and children’s self-image is damaged more when they wear uniforms at school.

Most developed countries, like the United States of America, believe in one’s right to freedom of expression. Making it mandatory for students to give up their right to express themselves through clothing is wrong.  “The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees that all individuals have the right to express themselves freely. The US Supreme Court stated in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (7-2, 1969) that “it can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” In the 1970 case Richards v. Thurston (3-0), which revolved around a boy refusing to have his hair cut shorter. So, not only is the demand to wear uniforms in a sense unconstitutional, it also goes against rulings by the Supreme Court. In this way, it can be said that making uniforms in schools mandatory is un-American.

On the side of practicality, uniforms are often seen as less comfortable than normal clothes. They can be tight and not adjustable to different weather conditions. The temperatures in winter and summer can be unbearable in a standard school uniform. Many students have expressed through surveys that they do not feel comfortable in their uniforms, and they this type of clothing does not adjust well to varying weather conditions (“Research on School Uniforms – It’s Clear, They Disadvantage Girls”).

Another practical concern is that paying for uniforms wastes the money of parents, when their children can simply wear the clothes they have. Also, schools could be selling uniforms for more than necessary. In the United Kingdom, for instance, the Guardian reports that, “Parents could be spending millions of pounds more than they need to on school uniforms because of exclusive deals between schools and suppliers, the government’s competition watchdog has warned. Headteachers and school governing bodies were told by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on Thursday that they must let parents “shop around” for affordable uniforms for their children, using supermarkets if they wish rather than be forced to buy more expensive items in exclusive arrangements with suppliers” (Smithers, Rebecca). This means that not only do parents have to spend extra money on an outfit, but also the uniforms schools are selling are overpriced.

Leaning more into the abstract, uniforms promote conformity instead of individuality. A sense of individuality is key in democratic societies, and it should be nurtured when young. At a time when schools are encouraging an appreciation of diversity, enforcing standardized dress sends a contradictory message. In schools where uniforms are specifically gendered.  So, in order for each person to not feel the pressure of societal conformity, it is important that schools keep a sense of diversity.

Lastly, many students feel they do not look their best in uniforms. This is due to the fact that uniforms fit the mold of certain body types, and curvier or plus-size individuals often feel out of place and uncomfortable in uniforms. Wearing uniforms lends itself to more comparison.

Though there are some benefits to wearing uniforms in school, I believe there are more disadvantages than advantages to using them. This is because they strip away freedom, they are uncomfortable, it is a waste of money to buy them, they celebrate conformity over individuality, and the self-image of children is damaged more when they wear uniforms. Let us keep our schools constitutional by allowing students to wear what they deem expresses their unique personality, within the limits of appropriateness.

The debate on "Wearing uniforms should not be compulsory for students" is as follows.

Wearing uniforms should not be compulsory for students

  • School outfits have been a disputable subject regardless of whether understudies ought to wear them. There are numerous ways understudies can be moderate for school other than wearing a uniform. Accordingly, I don't think outfits are vital. School uniforms ought not to be compulsory in light of the fact that understudies ought to have the option to put themselves out there, you pay something else for specific garbs, and it can influence one's mental self-view. Understudies ought to have the option to communicate their thoughts and outfits to remove their creativity. Regalia show despite the fact that you ought to be dealt with something very similar, you ought to likewise appear to be identical.
  • To get going, school outfits can be very costly. Guardians who send their youngsters to schools that require regalia should pay for tutoring and supplies, however, they are additionally expected to pay extra for outfits, and that is something that not all guardians are outfitted to manage. Since this is the situation, outfits are in many cases seen as just an additional expense guardian should pay.
  • Also, school uniforms are not the most comfortable things on earth to wear. Not all uniforms are made equivalent, and most objections about this will more often than not come from secondary school and understudies, yet awkward garbs are never something worth being thankful for.
  • While we're looking at zeroing in on school, we should not fail to remember that outfits do hardly anything to work on scholarly execution. This is valid for grade schools as well as universities and secondary schools too. Garbs don't have a lick of effect regardless of whether an understudy gets passing marks. Furthermore, on the off chance that they are continually awkward (as referenced above), garbs could try and end up being negative to an understudy's schooling.
