9:10 AM The Pros and Cons of School Uniforms

(children in school uniforms)

The subject of whether or not school uniforms are good or bad is a heated and subjective topic globally. Personally, even if I do not necessarily like school uniforms it keeps a sense of uniformity and discipline throughout the school. In the workplace, every company has guidelines and rules as to what your attire may be. Requiring school uniforms will prepare students for the future.Working in a grocery store, we are required to wear a specific uniform that they hand to us on our orientation date. An ugly maroon colored polo with our company logo on the left corner, with a black apron or vest on top. Uniforms are used to ensure proper dress among all individuals within the business or school. Another pro to school uniforms are that they blur the lines between the rich and the poor. Students and parents will not have to worry about buying the newest, hippest, or most expensive clothes because the required clothes will be listed for them. Parents of poorer families would rather pay the upfront cost of a school uniform, rather than buy clothes every month. In regards to changes that one can make to a school uniform policy, is providing a variety of different styles of clothing for students to wear, so that the students do not feel like robots. Even in offices, you are allowed to pick from a variety of different styles to choose from. And at my grocery store, we are allowed to purchase different articles of clothing to wear in the work place.
