SCHOOL UNIFORM SHOULD NO LONGER BE REQUIRED

Dress Codes and Uniforms: Arent you comfortable?

As a student we all knew that feeling every first day of our school. The excitement, because we
were finally have to wear our new school uniform. But for many years that has been past, modernity
influences the way we should think about the school uniform. Some people think that it was just a waste
of money and take away the right of self-expression and that was a different viewpoint for me, because I
believed it was not.
This issue was already accustomed from us as it was talk-about also in our country that school
uniform should no longer be required, wherein I did not agree with. Other people say Oh, yes! I can now
express myself and wear whatever I want and It must be in law because, its just dictating what students
have to wear that violates their right to freedom of expression. In a study by Lumsden and Miller (2002),
students asserted also that the procedures for choosing out of the policy violated their religious freedom
by allowing school officials to assess the sincerity of peoples religious beliefs. As said in one
argumentative essay (Anonymous, 2004), the author said yes and did not denied that students freedom
are in limit because of the uniforms, but it doesnt limit them from learning. Learning that students have
to focus with than thinking what they should wear. School uniforms are not a negative thing to have. Like
one of a study found in the U.S. Department of Educations Manual on School Uniforms notes saying that,
Uniforms by themselves cannot solve all of the problems of school discipline, but they can be one positive
contributing factor to discipline and safety. (Lumsden & Miller, 2002). The passage means that uniforms
are supposed to be looked upon in a positive thing because students are the one will benefits in many
perspectives.
Bully-free environment, combine social classes, provided as our security, unite us as one identity
and gives the school campus a professional look better presentation wise and academically (SUTC, n.d.).
Are those of some contributing factor of wearing school uniform that leads to self-discipline, respect the
feelings of others, and learn how to operate in the real world in order to be successful.

In conclusion, there are many important reasons for our schools to have unifroms. I preferred to
say school shoul required uniform because I see those reasons. Let education not be about fashion. Since
we all know that getting an education is hard enough without being distracted by inappropriate attire, we
must new the importance of it not the ignorance. As said by Tom Ford, Dressing well is a form of a Good
Manners. Learning how to dress-up properly or in any particular occasions see what behavior we have
that we are handling to face our day-to-day living.
