School Uniforms Should Be Banned

School Uniforms? Are they really a good thing? I think school uniforms are overpriced cheap quality clothing, used to make schools representation better. It   disables the ability for students to express themselves through the way they dress, and if we wear it wrong we still get in trouble. School you uniforms should be banned and here's why!

Firstly uniforms are not cheap at all. I mean at our school it cost roughly $177, to buy a uniform for one student. These uniforms are not the best quality, as proof if you put our school t-shirt over your head you can see through it quite clearly. Imagine how thick that fabric might and warm it would keep you. Selwyn college is also an example also have very overpriced uniforms, my sister goes there and her uniform cost close to close to $250. She had to buy new uniforms at the beginning of every year too, meaning it doesn’t last very long. There are many other schools with way more expensive uniform!

Another reasons school uniforms should be banned is because, there will always be students not wearing the right thing. Whether it’s over sized jewellery when wearing mufti, or students not having their t-shirt is not tucked in when wearing school uniform. We will still get in trouble no matter what. A well shown example of this is, one of the korero at our school is called were it with pride. In case you didn’t know what that means, it means that we should know what we are wearing and were it with respect and take care of our uniform and that kind of stuff. Anyways, this is a very old korero meaning that prefects have noticed that students haven’t been wearing their uniform properly, it’s been like this for a long time. 

Lastly school uniforms make so that we are all wearing the same thing. This might have people stop mocking other people still a little less but, it also means where all practically the same. Having school uniforms mean that students are limited to express themselves through their looks and the way they dressed. This relates to the famous quote “Passion for Fashion” well there are many people with that and having school uniforms permits them from showing that!

So in conclusion I think that school uniforms should be banned. These are only three reasons there are many more, that’s why you should always do your own research. Do you think that school uniforms should be banned?
