Wearing uniforms Some schools require their students to wear uniforms. However, I would contend that the use of uniforms is useless. Schools think that uniforms help students focusing on their schoolwork, but students may not like uniforms as they don't allow them to show their personality. Some teachers think that uniforms would make students more focused on their studies, as they would not have to worry about what to wear and lose time choosing the best clothes of the day in the morning. I firmly disagree with this standpoint. First, students may not like the uniforms they are forced to wear, e.g. they may prefer wearing more sportive clothes rather than formal uniforms, while others may prefer wearing even smarter clothes than uniforms. Moreover, some students might feel the need to wear heavier or lighter clothes because of the cold or warm weather. In addition to that, wearing uniforms does not allow students to show their full personality: for instance, happier and more active students may prefer brighter clothes, while more shy ones may appreciate to use darker clothes. Furthermore, letting students choosing their clothes would be useful to make them learn how they should wear in different contexts, e.g. formal ones like schools and offices or more informal places like clubs or discos. To sum up, there has always been a strong debate on if students should wear uniforms or not. However, my thoughts on this are that forcing students to wear predefined clothes like uniforms deletes a very important aspect of their social life.
