If students will wear branded clothes everyone will feel divided and their confidence will vanish whereas if everyone will wear uniforms then they all will be united. A united team is more successful team than a divided team.

The funny thing with the pro-uniform side of the argument is they're usually all for it as long as it's the type of uniform they had in mind. But if I agree and then say all the girls should dress as French maids and all the boys should dress as Angus Young from ACDC then suddenly they'll be against uniforms.

And besides, if you're teaching your kids at home not to get worked up by peer pressure then it doesn't really matter who wears what to go to school.

Students do not get discouraged by wearing their school uniforms because wearing school uniforms increases school spirit. The students feel proud of their uniform as they are representing their school. If this feeling is created among all the students then they wont bully each other as they all are in the same team.

I totally disagree that uniforms are more expensive than branded clothes because branded

clothes are popular and thus more expensive. Fashionable clothes are more expensive than uniforms because more people want to buy them. The more customers, higher the price. Where as uniforms are simple. Thus, they are cheaper.

Uniforms increase student safety because in field trips the teacher will be able to identify their students, who will be wearing a uniform, and will also be able to identify the intruder who will not be wearing a uniform, whereas if they are wearing branded clothes the teacher wont be able to spot the intruder and will think they are some kind of crowd.

What if a kid gets sick at home time, middle of a huge crowd of children so it will be really hard for parents to pic their kid.

Uniforms are really hard to buy because most of the times we are unable to get perfect sizes.

Side: We disagree

We think students should not wear uniforms because they make students think they are more mature for their age which is wrong because it makes them overconfident and make them think they can achieve well but eventually because of the over-confidence they don't succeed.

(Emad & Sameer)

Side: We disagree

Uniforms don't prevent bullying but discourage the students as their freedom is taken away because of the restrictions of the school so they don't speak up for themselves and the bullying doesn't end because the students don't stand up for themselves.

(Emad & Sameer)

Side: We disagree

We think you are wrong because with the uniforms the parents have to buy regular clothes for when they are not at school ,thus creating an additional expanse and all of the earnings of parents are used up in buying the clothes,which is a wastage of money.

Most of the uniforms are inappropriate for the weather girls have to wear skirts in winter in most of the schools.

Students should be allowed to wear home clothes as it doesn't effects learning.

Every student has a right to express themselves and if they feel like expressing themselves through fashion and attitude,let them because you can't force them to wear something they don't want to wear, you can't take away their voice of utterance before they have one to support themselves with.

The most obvious point against uniforms is that they restrict self-expression. We live in a dynamic society, full of unique characters that make our world a spontaneous one. Cutting that off at a young age only stifles creativity and encourages conformity. We want to encourage our children to be expressive and to think outside the box. Forcing them to wear ugly gray sweater vests and starched white shirts is not the way to do that.

"Some English schools see uniform as a quick fix for a range of problems. However, serious discipline and academic issues are unlikely to be solved by nostalgically resurrecting the blazer or draconian decrees issued from the headmaster's study regarding skirt length.

Students flourish when they're treated as free-range individuals, rather than battery-hen units that must conform. Examples from around the world show that high standards of discipline, team spirit and attainment are not synonymous with school uniform.

Importantly, the lack of uniform is widely debated among our students – they're aware of the danger of defining individuality in terms of clothing, and of issues such as body image and self esteem. As media savvy individuals they are suspicious of attempts by some schools to use uniform as part of their corporate identity and brand."

When we ask student councils about the issues of concern to them, this often comes up. It's even more of a concern in mixed schools where, every day, girls see their male classmates come to school in trousers… Some girls really, really hate – absolutely hate – to wear skirts. It is a dated system. In any other walk of life, we wouldn't dream of telling girls that they have to wear a skirt. So why is it acceptable to inflict it on them at school?

Rather than promote an orderly and disciplined student environment, mandatory uniforms would cause massive student disobedience and take away valuable instruction time. If one or two students wear something inappropriate, administration will handle it. The student in question will change, be disciplined, and return to class without disrupting the school day. [South Carolina] Rep. McKnight's [mandatory uniform] policy would trigger massive backlash from students, and would cost countless hours of classroom instruction. Public schools already have dress codes which ban provocative, revealing, gang-affiliated, and hateful clothing, which addresses Rep. McKnight's concerns in introducing the bill.

Harrow's distinctive uniform is not simply an exercise in conformity, but a connection to the rich history of the school and a symbol of its distinguished community… These elements make boys feel that they belong to something bigger than themselves. The simple act of putting on a uniform makes every day an occasion, and indicates a readiness for the day ahead…

ditching school uniforms would not only cost parents more money, and would be a bad idea all around. In fact, school uniforms are as important as student laptops in the education experience...

Interestingly, what most excites children going to school for the first time is usually their uniform. Every five-year-old can appreciate wearing a school uniform is a powerful rite of passage, and an equally powerful statement of belonging.

"While uniforms do assuage the best-clothes competition, they create a new and more painful contest: the best-body competition. When every student is wearing the same uniform, everyone fills it out differently.They can expect to be ridiculed for not looking as fantastic in their uniforms as some of the better-looking students. And this could be catastrophic for anyone with a less-than-perfect image of themselves... There's also the problem of students' squelched individuality.

Also, uniforms increase student safety. They prevent thefts because no one's clothes are more valuable. Moreover, intruders can be easily sighted. It is easier for field-trip chaperones to know for which students they are responsible.

Yet another benefit of uniforms is that they teach students to dress according to guidelines. Some believe that uniforms do not prepare students for the real world in which people wear whatever they want. However, most workplaces have uniforms or dress codes.
