Uniforms should be compulsory 

                                                              

 Teachers have always been wondering about uniforms.should they be compulsory? That is why I am here to tell you my input about uniforms. For starters, most people would say get rid of uniforms. But I personally think we should keep our uniform these are the reasons why... 

 

Firstly when you are out on a trip or playing a sport you can represent your school.(but just make sure if you are wearing your uniform you are representing your school in a good way no fighting ect.) plus teachers don’t want to deal with bullying and some people bully others about what they are wearing, so if we are all just wearing the same thing then there will be no bullying in that respect.

 

Uniforms are also fast!! What i mean by fast is that you don’t have to pick what you are wearing EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! That would be horrible!! So in the morning all you have to do is chuck on your uniform without worrying about what others think about what you are wearing or what you look like it is so easy!

 

That is why i believe that uniforms should be compulsory!

Uniforms… the debate has been going on for years. Should they stay or should they go? Representation, bullying or being late in the morning. In my opinion, I believe that uniforms should be compulsory.

 

Firstly, they help represent your school. Trips, sports days, carnivals. For example, if you are doing North Otago cross country and you get a placing, people won’t know what school you are from unless you are wearing your uniform.

 

Secondly, if everyone is wearing the same uniform, students won’t get bullied about the clothes they wear. There will be no labels or brands, and children won’t be thinking that their clothes aren’t “cool” enough. Students at school won’t get bullied or teased because of this.

 

And lastly, choosing your clothes in the morning won’t take up time, because clearly you already have them picked out for you. At this age, if everyone had to choose what they are going to wear, almost the whole school would be late! In my experience, getting ready in the morning is already painful with a uniform !

 

So as you can see, I firmly believe that school uniforms should be compulsory.
