  • Are school uniforms good or bad? Do school uniforms help students learn? I'll present my pros and cons of school uniforms and then you can tell me in the comments below: are school uniforms a good or bad idea? Let the school uniform debate begin!
    For ease of use, I'll also put my personal list of pros and cons here in the description. I think school uniform cons, as principles, outweigh the school uniform pros, so the cons come first, then the pros. Here you go!
    CONs of school uniforms:
    -Uniforms put you one step closer to being a prisoner
    -With a uniform, you must submit to yet another layer of conformity (School seeks to destroy the individual)
    -Uniforms force you to give up your creative expression (if fashion matters to you; another way schools kill creativity)
    -Uniforms reduce a student's sense of personal responsibility. It's a big milestone when a kid learns to pick out his or her own clothes and dress himself. The school uniform removes that responsibility and helps create a group of kids who grow up to be dependent on an outside authority.
    -Uniforms add nothing to the educational value of school; they only make it easier for the administration to control the students
    PROs of school uniforms:
    -You don't have to think about what you're going to wear to school
    -In theory, no one should be picked on for what clothes they're wearing
    -No one should get in trouble for inappropriate clothing
    -Easier back to school shopping
    -Can be cheaper than regular clothes if your school uniform is basic like khakis and a polo shirt
    -Uniforms can prevent the display of gang colors
    So what's your stance on the school uniforms argument? Do you think school uniforms are a good idea? Or do you think school uniforms are a bad idea? Do school uniforms make a difference? Let everyone know what you think (and why) in the comments below!

Now the kids wear those clothes all over the place and ware them out faster than a set of clothes used JUST for school. So guess what? In the middle of the school year you have to go out and buy new clothes again. Or worst yet…..if the fashions have changed and the clothes from the beginning of the year are not COOL anymore………guess what???? Yup, let’s go shopping again for the new cool fashion clothes.

    i don't think school uniforms are a good idea because it wont prevent bullying! a bully wont stop bullying just because of an outfit change! most likely they would bully others about more hurtful things like their weight and how pretty they are! also kids cant express themselves the same way! they are also SUPER expensive and kids won't touch them unless they have to! plus think of the weather! boys, do you want your legs to be burning in the hot seasons when you cant wear shorts? and girls, think of winter when that knee length skirt flaps in the wind, practically freezing your legs! i'm SO thankful that i don't have to wear them

    There are pros and cons to school uniform, i don't think its inherently a bad thing but I wouldn't say for me personally, it isn't a great thing either because you are not able to embrace your individuality through your clothing choices and accessories. However, it greatly reduces bullying as well because lets say for example if you wear something that a lot of people don't agree with then it might start up bullying and teasing because of what you choose to wear. If everyone is wearing the same uniform then you don't really have anything to say because everyone is the same.
    Another thing is that you don't have as much pressure to wear different clothing choices every single day because its stressful and sometimes you don't know what you want to wear. Also it might cause some conformity issues because lets say for example almost everyone wants to wear this 'insert item here' because its on trend, you may feel that your pressured to wear it like everyone else because maybe you want to fit in with the rest of the people or you feel like if you don't wear it then you will be the odd one out. School uniform tackles both of these issues.
    So i don't completely disagree with the idea with school uniform but.. it just depends how well a school designs it. If its tacky or boring then its not even worthy of the title 'school uniform'. Especially in the summer when your wearing a school uniform its make the whole day harder because their quite stuffy as well.

    I’ve actually found that uniforms make clothes cheaper! Because most kids are kind of forcing other people to get those “trendy” clothes or else you get bullied. Most of those trendy clothes (Nike, adidas, idk Gucci) can cost ALOT of money, sure uniforms are bloody expensive too but not as much. Plus it DOES actually make bullying less common, I’d say I’ve never been bullied in my life apart from online and I’m one the weird ones, not many of my freinds have been super bullied either. And I did a mini servey. THEY HAVNT EITHER, so yes you can bully other ways but I find most just don’t bother. Is that because if uniforms being mandatory in Aus or Australians just being nicer idk, but it is food for thought

      School uniforms a piss poor solution to the actual problem which is socioeconomic bullying. What are they going to do as adults? And it also doesn't teach children that brand worshiping is bad. It also does not take into account trans students and non-binary students and ability to express parts of their gender.

    Thanks for the video. Just a point about having a uniform it helps to separate you from work and relax mood i.e when you are in your uniform you are working and when you are in your own clothes you are relaxing. This I believe this sets you up for adulthood when you wear work clothes at your job and then wear your casual cloths at home or the weekend.

    I went to private schools all my life, and one of them had a uniform. For shirts, there was a spirit shirt, which you could only wear on Monday, and a red polo since the school's color is red, and you could wear those on any day of the week. For pants, there were skorts (for girls), khaki shorts, blue jeans (which you could only wear with your spirit shirt on Mondays), and black jeans (which I absolutely despise, which you could only wear with the polo). For belts, they had to be either black or brown. You could only wear white socks, even though everybody at the school broke this rule, especially the girls. No open toed shoes, just tennis shoes, and they couldn't be any bright neon colors. For jackets, they could only be red, but they didn't have to have the school's logo on it. In addition to jackets, you couldn't wear the hood. No headgear of any kind. Girls could not wear makeup until the 7th grade, and girls also couldn't wear nail polish at all. Shirts had to be tucked in at all times. I'm not entirely sure about their jewelry policies. No Heelies, even if the plugs were in. Also, the red polos were all short sleeved, so they were at least generous enough to let people wear under shirts during the winter, I think.
    Any violation of any of these rules would result in a detention.
    The point is, these rules were so detailed that they were made by soulless bureaucrats, but I guess old Nuns are the same thing. Yes, I went to Catholic schools.

    I don't understand why people hate on school uniform so much, I am from India. We had uniform shirt, skirt, shoes, socks and tie. It was a lifesaver for my parents since they could not afford to buy regular clothes and I was one of the richest in the class! The trick is to make clothes slightly bigger than you so that they last for 3 or more years. It makes it more comfortable to wear and lasts longer. Skip to college and ended up getting ridiculed for cheap and unfashionable clothes by privileged kids. In school we did not talk about clothes, make up or jewellery, we talked about fun stuff like movies, books, politics etc. Switch to college and girls could only talk about clothes and make up and nothing more interesting. In school my friends had tags, the studious, the singer, the painter etc. Switch to college it was the fashion icon, the great figure one etc. If you require only clothes and makeup to express your individuality, you don't have one to begin with.

    First time you get it taken, a parent or guardian has to pick it up.
    The second time you get it taken, you don't get it back in 30 days/2 weeks.
    The third time you get it taken, you have to get it back at the last day of school!!

    Good, but I think we should be able to express our selves with the uniforms (wearing it how you want, wearing jewellery, different shoes) because that way you don’t waste time in the morning picking an outfit out and you still get to express yourself. It also stops people from being jealous and it stops making less wealthy people being frustrated or sad.
    At my school every gender is forced to wear trousers and a navy blue polo shirt because boys and teachers couldn’t stop looking. Girls in skirts were also deemed distracting, so we are in the wrong apparently. It shouldn’t be a problem that skirts are too high up because it isn’t a problem the problem is the people making a fuss over it in any way.

    School uniforms are good because then the teachers will know if a student is part of the school and then when *violent* people *roam* inside the school, they might arrest them or tell them to get out immediately.
    If you don't understand some of these meanings, here they are.
    1. Violent - Using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something
    2. Roam - Move about or travel aimlessly or unsystematically over, through, or around a place.

    My school does have uniforms but a strict dress code. No overly violent shirts (like really gory death metal t shirts, sadly), can’t have shorts that go above your knees, and you can’t wear sleeveless shirts that *hide your shoulders.* They also sell expired food and white out the expiration date and put a new one on and don’t shut the school down when some kid puts a battery in the microwave, turns it on and explodes the entire microwave while causing everyone else to suffocate in battery acid. My school also spends to much on school activities other than our education so we literally have no money to buy new text books, ink, paper or to get new teachers.

    They create a sense of equality- Again no. If a kid comes in wearing a dirty, ripped, small uniform, do they look equal?
    Kids don’t have to decide what to wear- What?! God forbid kids actually get to decide what they wear.
    They prepare you for when you need to wear a uniform for a job- Wearing a suit is not a skill. It’s not hard.
    They make it easier to identify intruders- What if an intruder comes in with a uniform?

In the US, the first school (that was not for upper class) were boarding schools that native american are forced to go to the uniform was used as a tool yet again to erase native American culture. When Japan was a toltarina county and conquered Taiwan they used uniforms to assmiluate and erase Taiwan culture. Also toltarion countries love uniforms because it help erases personal identity. That why Japan until the 1980's made students wear uniforms outside of school grounds because it was bits of the previous toltrian thinking left over.

    I have no idea where some of these people are buying these "expensive" uniforms. I went through both junior high and high with some pretty cheap wardrobes, you only needed to have the right color (a pair of dickies or what not) and button down shirt or cheap polo. Spent 1 year in an inner city school as my parents were moving around at the time and saw with my own eyes how there were little clicks of students scrutinizing others based on either their attire or some other foolish observation. Pretty sure it's not like that for everyone yet i made the closest friends while i was in a uniform mandated school. I came from a poor family as my father was only a laborer yet no one at school knew anyone else's background, unless you were close friends. The student in question actually came from a very comfortable household with their own business. We became very close, along with a slew of other students from various backgrounds. The uniform was actually unimportant as daily interactions allowed students to better gauge their peers. I don't know, maybe i'm not making any sense or come from a different time yet i enjoyed those years.
