Why Students Should Not Wear Uniforms!
March 16, 2022
Here are some listings including reasons why students should not wear school uniforms.
1. School Uniforms Deprive Students of Freedom of Expression…
Being able to express yourself is a right that every parent wants their children to learn from a young age. If students are not permitted to demonstrate their individuality and originality through dressing, they may develop feelings of oppression and discouragement, which can damage their personality.
2. School Uniforms Can Be Expensive!
Paying for school uniforms can be a waste of money, especially if they attend school for up to 5 or 6 days weekly. The implication of this is that they would need an extra set of uniforms. Some parents cannot afford a lot of uniforms! Sometimes they have other children too and they have to buy for them as well. (In situations like this, buying regular clothes may be much less expensive than paying for school uniforms).
3. Difficulty Finding Uniforms…
You go to stores trying to find your uniforms. They don’t even have your color nor the size! It is really frustrating! If we didn’t have this uniform policy, this would not happen. Normal clothes are easier to find in your size.
4. School Uniforms Do Not Improve Academic Performance…!
One of the significant problems schools today is poor academic performance. There is no detectable correlation between school uniforms and the academic performance of students. One of the many reasons for going to school is to boost academic performance. And, once a student is ambitious and hard-working, academic excellence isn’t far ahead. So, wearing of school uniform does not affect a students’ performance.
Ban Uniforms!!

This article is imperative in stopping the new uniform policy. I agree with the ideas listed.

No more uniforms.

I don’t think uniforms are that bad and they can be helpful to some people i think a suggestive policy would be best.

I don’t think uniforms are that big of a problem, as long as they aren’t strict. They should probably be optional.

I also agree that we shouldn’t have to wear uniforms. As long as we have a dress code and follow it why do we need uniforms? Nobody wears their uniform now as is and it hasn’t been that big of a deal. I think only private schools should have a uniform policy. I also agree that trying to find uniforms are difficult because they sell out fast and then it’s difficult to find a place that still has them in time.

I totally agree.

I agree with what is being said in this article however we also have to pay attention to the other aspects of wearing uniform. I believe that uniforms shouldn’t necessarily be banned but optional.

I’m still unsure of my stance on this debate, because both sides pose good arguments.

I agree that they should ban uniforms for everyone wearing the same clothes is not the move. Just check school ids

I think uniforms are best set in place because not everyone can afford to wear different outfits everyday, plus you only need to buy the unform once for your 4 years of HS [unless ofc you grow out of it or it becomes unwearable].

I think that it would be best if all high schools removed their uniform policy.
Kyle Chichester • Apr 22, 2022 at 11:06 AM
Personally all of these are very true because most students do want to express themselves in ways that cannot normally do, but the only thing is that, I understand the uniform policy because it prevents people from bullying those who wear certain clothes and things along that nature.

Personally, while all of these things are true, they are honestly heavy exaggerations of these problems. Freedom of expression is also allowed at Flowers, many of the people here find ways to put their own unique spin on the uniform.

I agree with this article but surprisingly i have no problem with wearing uniform. I feel like it´s so draining trying to find something to wear everyday.
Cydney Thompson • Mar 21, 2022 at 7:46 AM
Agreed with every bit of this article. Hope this comes to the light in parents decisions.
Caine Blake • Mar 18, 2022 at 10:54 AM
I agree with everything here, but at the same time picking out outfits is a lot of effort man.
Mary Hamilton-Dandy • Mar 17, 2022 at 12:45 PM
I totally agree with this !!
Gbenga Damilola • Mar 17, 2022 at 12:13 PM
I agree I think uniforms or unnecessary because we are getting older.
Deontae Roach • Mar 17, 2022 at 11:26 AM
I think, they should just make it optional. It was like that way before.
Pearly Fonji • Mar 17, 2022 at 11:01 AM
This is 100% true. I don’t understand why high school student have to wear uniform especially since they call us young adults but don’t give us the freedom to wear what we want.
Layla Peets • Mar 17, 2022 at 9:26 AM
I agree. Uniforms are very unnecessary and get expensive.
Makyah White • Mar 17, 2022 at 9:13 AM
I totally agree and stand by everything you said.
Grace Shongo • Mar 17, 2022 at 8:28 AM
I 100% agree with everything that was stated in this article, I especially love the one about the student’s freedom of expression!
Jhanyre Hames • Mar 17, 2022 at 8:19 AM
I think no uniforms would be better.
Avery Thomas • Mar 17, 2022 at 8:17 AM
I agree because uniforms make a school feel prison like
Skye Mitchell • Mar 17, 2022 at 8:15 AM

eugene greeley • Mar 17, 2022 at 8:09 AM

I don’t think that uniforms should be banned, they should just be optional.
