Should Students Wear School Uniforms?

Do you think wearing school uniforms has any advantages? It is one hundred percent of people agreed with the question in my data. However, there are some arguments for wearing or not wearing school uniforms. Some students think wearing uniforms is not fashionable because they want looking unique and differentiate themselves from others. In contrast, I agree wear school uniforms because of several advantages that result from wearing them.

First of all, if students wear uniforms, they can save a lot of time when they are choosing clothed and they can focus on their school work. Actually, there are Five-sixths of the people spend more than 20 minutes for choosing their cloth every day in my data. Obviously, many people waste a lot of time for choosing clothes before they go to school, and they never want to spend time to study. In fact, Reef, my classmate, agreed with me. She said that “Students cannot focus their school work because they spend time for care about how people look them”.  For example, after my sister received her score of final exam from her school, she always said she didn’t have enough time to prepare for exams. However, she spent two or three hours to choose the clothes that she wanted to wear every day. Therefore, I thought if she spent the same two or three hours to study, she might have enough time to prepare for her tests. So, I think if wearing uniforms, it might help them to save a lot of time and to improve their grades.

Secondly, wearing uniforms could help schools to distinguish their students easily because all students would wear the same uniform in school. Also, the school should isolate strangers who are not allowed to enter the school and keep the school safe. In the statistics, there are 90 percent of people agree with students wear school uniform could be protect. For instance, when I was in junior high school, all students were ordered to wear the uniforms every day. One day, a stranger entered our school and bothered the students. Students were scared. After a while, the stranger was caught by a teacher. Then the teacher said that he could catch the stranger easily because he did not wear our uniform. In fact, wearing the uniform not only helps schools distinguish their students easily, but also it helps to protect students. Also, my roommate, JT said “It is a good idea. Because students wear same cloth in school, they can be protected.”

Furthermore, students don’t make fun of others as much when everyone is wearing a uniform. Some students like to analyze the clothes that people wear. My classmate, Lorena said “Even though she knew that is wrong, she had made fun of others when she was in high school.” Some students are poor; they don’t have money to buy nice clothes. Students might laugh at poor students’ clothes. For example, most of my classmates in my senior high school, always wore gorgeous clothes, and they liked to judge the cloth which classmates wore. A few of my classmates couldn’t buy new clothes constantly also they didn’t have enough money to buy nicer clothes. So, they were frequently made fun of. In fact, if we wear uniforms, that will not be happening.

To sum up, wearing school uniforms has many advantages. Students can save a lot of time to choose cloth every day, be easily distinguished from strangers, and experience less teasing regarding their clothing. So, I think students should wear school uniforms.
