Why Should Wearing
Uniform in The School
School Uniform is special clothes worn by all
students of a particular school. The uniform of a school may differ from
others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998
concerning school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students
showed that uniforms have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral
problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect on student
achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of
belonging to particular community. As such promotes discipline and helps to
drive up academic standard, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools
which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal
in the eyes of the school and of each other in institution without uniform
students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and
the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and
trainers may be single out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from
poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniform as they save
them money on buying clothes for school wear.
Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their
identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which makes
uniform compulsory for schools.
