That School Uniforms Should be Banned From All Schools

That school uniforms should be banned from all schools debate.

School uniforms should be abolished because they are impractical for modern-day society. For many years, school uniforms have been worn by students in schools throughout Australia. The problem of wearing school uniforms is that most school parents waste a lot of money purchasing them. Children of school age tend to grow very fast; this results in having to constantly replace uniforms. Additionally, the fabric used to make the uniforms can become quite uncomfortable and affect classroom concentration. School uniforms are not used as often as casual clothes in times like weekends, holidays and formal situations.

One of the major causes of money wasting is from the purchasing of school uniforms. Uniforms cost a lot because the majority of parents have to buy a set of winter, summer and sport uniforms for their children. They also waste money when children grow older, thus making them have to buy new sets of uniforms every so often. In some cases, when a few children do not have any uniforms the right size for them, they have to get one especially made for them which makes the cost even higher. Uniforms can also be a problem when private schools purchase uniforms for their students; as a result the school may raise its fees for parents.

A dilemma with uniforms is that often schools are unaware on how uncomfortable they are for students and its impact on the student’s health. School uniforms are pretty uncomfortable when the weather or the seasons change, causing the student to be either too hot or too cold, therefore a handful of students will lose concentration in class. Also school uniforms harm the body when they are too cold or far too hot which results in sicknesses and absences. When a small proportion of students start to dislike their uniforms, they may abuse or destroy their own uniforms.

One of the major problems of school uniforms is the lack of use of them. School uniforms are dissipating given that casual clothes are used more often as school uniforms. Almost everyone wouldn’t wear uniforms on the streets, weekends, holidays or on formal times. Instead, a high percentage of people would wear casual clothes for these times. Subsequently, uniforms aren’t as useful as casual clothes, meaning uniforms should be abolished.

Alternate view

A problem with school uniforms is the rate on how comfortable they are. Uniforms are usually either too hot or too cold; as a result students will lose concentration during class, become sick or absent. In some cases, uniforms can be bought for different seasons or climates making it more comfortable and stress free.

    Go to this website if you are anti- or even pro-uniforms, read it, and think about it. Are they really worth the trouble?

    But they look so nice on anime, especially with those hats…….but they also have winter/summer uniform so it fits the weather. Besides if there are no dress code, people would be wearing flashy/skimpy clothing.

    School unifrm should Not be Banned Because:
    it makes us all equal you dont know whose,poor or rich
    Its part of school Identity
    It makes our personal profile private
    It hides identities of gangs or a gang member
    How do you feel if you have to go through a security checkpoint
    everyday thats how it is in america
    because of the Gangs are so known

    On February 15, 2010 at 5:30 am


    well hey guys, ive been reading ur comments for a while and im almost surprised by the no. of ppl who r really interested in this topic of ‘that school uniforms should be banned’. well im 16 now, so im one of ur kind, not some old grumpy guy. despite the fact ive voiced my opinion on my idea on school opinions on this article, ill reiterate my opinion again.

    i hate school uniforms, they deservce no place in society and especially not in schools, the only place we need them is in the army, or else or guys ill end up shooting each other not knowing whos her.

    school uniforms should all be burnt and are a waste of humanitarian resources, man power, money, tax payers money, time. and plus….they look sooooo bad, not even kidding. who wants to wear pants and a tie and who wants to wear a skirt and a stupid looking hat? sure as hell not me.

    so there u go guys, my opnion, from the chanman himself, lol.

    but keep voicing ur opinion, if u disagree with me, thats fine, im open to alternate points of view.

    DOWN WITH SCHOOL UNIFORMS, AMEN

    Im 14 and am doing a debating thingo at school on why uniforms should be banned. ive read this whole pages and aghh.
    School uniforms ar absolute rubbish they are uncomfortable and a person cant express them self. my main concern is as someone said pedo’s can see what school you go to. I guess school are trying to get you ready for the work force and are trying to get you used to being neat and tidy . But very little amount of companies have uniforms! Uniforms are so ugly and i went to a private school and they are also very heavy. they are a waste of money and everyone looks the same,who would want that, and yet the teachers dont have to wear uniforms, so much for setting an example. The uniforms are too hot and you dont get to express yourself. Girls can’t play sport in them and would need to bring an extra set of cloths tto school if they would like to play sport. I think school uniforms should be burnt to the ground ..

    Im 13 and im doing a debate on why school uniforms SHOULDN’T be banned. I believe school uniforms should NOT be banned a lot of familys cannot afford to get nice cloths for thier children where as other familys can. At schools children are often devided into groups because of the way they dress if they have a school uniforms they are ALL on an equal playing field. Also, there are the O.H and S issues that come with not wearing the correct clothing and footwear. If you all think about it you would see why uniforms should be worn. They may be uncomfortable sure, i will give you that but School time is like work time and it is NOT the time to be expressing your individuality through clothing. When you finish school and start work you will have to wear uniforms then too so GET USED TO IT!!!! GROW UP!!!!!!!
