There is a Bad in Everything

Uniforms are common in many private schools but now they are becoming popular in public schools too. Many more public schools are now realizing that wearing a uniform could be good for the students, however, the negatives weigh out the positives.

There are many things that play into school uniforms like the cost, loss of self-expression, and comfort. Every student needs regular clothes to add to their school uniforms and that can add up. There are some second hand shops that will carry uniforms but it would just be easier for families if the students could just wear the same clothes they have to begin with. Loss of self-expression is a big problem that I have with school uniforms. I feel that every student needs to be able to express themselves in a school system because that is where they can really find themselves. It is different in school because that allows the students to get to know a large amount of kids their same age, and truly find friends. Your style is not only clothes but it reflects your personality, something uniforms would mask. I also believe that comfort is very important in learning. School uniforms will often be uncomfortable and nobody wants to learn in those cases. I am not saying that wearing your pajamas to class is okay, because it is not, but for some girls, including myself, it can be uncomfortable and distracting. The negatives to school uniforms could go on and on. Uniforms create more problems for these students rather than helping the issues in the public schools.

Uniforms are okay to be in private schools but not in public schools.
