WHAT’RE THE ADVATATGES AND DIVANTATGES OF SCHOOL UNIFORMS?

WHICH ARE THE ADVATATGES AND DISVANTATGES OF SCHOOL UNIFORMS?

All kind of specialists as psychologists or just specialists on student’s behavior have spent many years investigating if dressing the same clothes influences the learning process of children. Nowadays, in some schools it is compulsory the use of uniforms, normally those ones which are private. Meanwhile in public schools students can dress as they want. But, let’s compare both view-points. Are school uniforms a favorable, a harmful, or just an indifferent piece of the educational system?

One advantage of school uniforms is the capacity of avoiding or reducing conflicts related with how much money does each family spend in shopping clothes just for going to school. I mean that students can’t judge the rest just looking on the superficial appearance.

Moreover, uniforms cause a much more polite and sophisticated image of students. That’s great for schools because in student’s meetings it’s rather important to cause a trendy impression to the rest. It’s a useful business tool for telling parents: Hey! Register your children here! We are better than other schools!

Besides, there are also many of arguments against school uniforms. Girls and boys need to express themselves by dressing their personal trends. Colors, patterns, sizes, materials… Scientists agree that diversity is closely related in personalities.

Furthermore, some students feel uncomfortable wearing a necklace or just a long skirt. In fact, uniforms use to be too much formal for kids among six o for-teen years old, who surely prefer a comfortable track-suite more than a serious suit.

Just in conclusion, I would say that I feel lucky to have gone to the public and humble school of my village, where everybody was able to dress whatever they want to. In reference with my identity, I would have felt prisoner wearing those too smart uniforms! I wouldn’t dress up just for the everyday in school. What would life be without my wide and comfortable sweatshirts?
