Hi, all. I’ve been preparing for my LNAT exam and I would like you to rate it. Much appreciate.
SHOULD SCHOOLS HAVE UNIFORM?
In my view, I strongly stand on schools to have uniform and prove my points beyond reasonable uncertainty.
The school uniform is a symbol of the school and its membership, students not wearing the uniform do not identify themselves as school goers. The uniform will allow members of the public to differentiate the students based on the school they attend. Besides, without the introduction of school uniform, students with immoralities may end up going to school they don’t attend to cause a probable chaos or misconduct since the security guard at the gate, or staffs of the school cannot recognise students of their school without the uniform in order to prevent them from entering.
“You’re addressed the way you are dressed”, the school uniform will encourage discipline, as code of conducts are set when wearing the uniform, students will have to abide by those conducts. Additionally, children do not have the maturity to pick the appropriate dresses that should be worn in school environments, they are at a very oblivion and vulnerable age, particularly in their teens and giving them the choice to pick their clothes may bring about insurmountable consequences in the long term. Kids are also referred to be easily influenced by material items whatsoever. A child may feel intimidated, materially oppressed and influenced by other kids. For example, a child who wears expensive apparels to school may introduce unintended intimidations to kids who wear basic dresses. These are kids, these kinds of things may subject them to otiose thoughts or worries.
Bullying may occur even more; children may feel left out due to the expensive materials possessed by his fellow colleagues and may be assumed vulnerable or down by their fellow classmates and the kids may be subjected to bully as it's known that the bullies prey on the vulnerable simply because they view themselves as superior. Lack of contentment is also harboured by kids, kids who are not contented with what they wear may influence their interest and have their parents or guardians in unnecessary worries as they may come home telling their parents they also want those apparels or/and unaffordable things.
Having a uniform may reduce bully. Schoolchildren are competitive, and there is a danger that certain individuals will be singled out for their choice of clothing, leading to conflict and distress.
Conclusively, however, I ultimately think that schools should have uniform to avoid the implications discussed above. Uniformity will bring about inclusivity, let all schoolchildren feel among and be proud.
