Do you like or dislike school uniforms?
By: Jacqueline Olszyk

If you are, or were in school, would you want to have a school uniform? Many kids don’t like school uniforms, but others do.

Some people say school uniforms are better for us, they would save parents money, they would save parents time. It would make it easier to tell if they belong to the school or not, some kids could hide weapons in there baggy clothes, people who have less money would not be embarrassed because of the clothes they have to wear.

Others however, think that school uniforms are bad. In the wise words of a fellow class mate he says, ‘uniforms are crap’… he goes on to explain why, ‘uniforms are way too expensive, you wear them for 6 hours during the school day and then change, they are no use out of school, its rubbish! Nobody can show there personality if they have to wear a uniform! Plus, we grow out of them so quick and then have to go out and use another £200.’

School uniforms can sometimes look very dull and boring like they were made out of potato sacks. This is one of the reasons why kids would not want to wear them. Schools are sometimes represented by the colour of their uniform, but the colours sometimes clash and kids don’t want to wear them because of this. They want to look ‘cool’, but they can’t look cool if all the colours are clashing and they look like potato sacks.

I would rather not have school uniform. It is easier to wake up in the morning and pick something out off of the shelf and go. You also don’t have to worry about washing your clothes everyday because you have a variety of your own clothes. I feel more comfortable with my own clothes on, because you can just wear whatever you’re up to wearing. I feel like my clothes also show my identity. I wouldn’t die if I did have a uniform, but I would just rather not have one.

What do you think about school uniforms? If you have them, do you like them? If you don’t have them, do you want to get them?
