Should school uniform be banned?

Okay guys, here is the untold story behind uniform. In America schools are absolute mayhem everywhere you go, you have kids rebelling constantly, whether they're trying to get attention (which it usually is) or they're just angry. Not to say it doesn't happen here in the UK but, when a student rebels in the UK they rebel by undoing their top button, they might untuck their shirt. It makes all the rebelling that occurs to be as minimalistic as possible.

Not to mention the fact it also makes it easier to identify someone whilst they're not on school grounds.

Ugh. I hate my school uniform but I would hate not having a school uniform even more! On non-uniform days so many girls come in in the tiniest shorts and tops which barely cover anything at all. School just isn't the type of place for you to be wearing things like that. In my opinion, school uniforms teach children that, actually, you can't wear whatever the hell you like. If people don't have to wear school uniforms, I think they'll get an awful shock when they realise that they have to wear a suit for their job....

Like most have said, having no Uniform wouldn't help bullying wise. I'm not stating it would prevent bullying, bullies will always find a way as some have stated, but it would probably make things much worse.

Anyways in most jobs people will have to wear uniforms so I think it teaches a lesson. Some will rebell but at the end of the day it's those who get on with stuff that usually do well later on

prevents bullying, makes it equal and creates discipline, so no.

Keep school uniform, Not going to lie, I loved my school uniform in high school from Year 7 to 11,

Then In Sixth Form it was more relaxed, you had to wear 'smart wear' so basically office type clothes, suits ect.

In my school the uniforms were green from 7-8 and then black 9-11 which could possibly make it hard for the families which don't have enough money! And even on school uniform days the ones who are 'less fortunate' still carried on to wear school uniform regardless to them knowing it was non-uniform day! It does make everyone equal but my school used to be really strict making you have to wear black socks nothing else, polished shoes, black trousers not shorts, collar MUST be out... And to be honest even with the new trends e.g. Having your collars tucked in or shirts rolled up some people are going to be judged for either following the trends or not... And people will still carry on to judge on your hair, skin colour, looks, body build and all the rest so i guess school uniform will never completely rule out inequality but it does prevent bullying a bit i guess!

Anyway overall the ones who do have the money will usually want non uniform day as they like to show their new up to date clothing. And the people that don't have enough money will find it hard to change clothes everyday!

-Thank you, Britz

PEACE!
