Having a uniform promotes student unity and forces students to focus more on learning than on outfits. Going without uniforms allows for student individuality of course, but you can still be an individual while following a uniform dress code. I went to a private high school with western business dress code- shirts and ties every day. I felt like I focused more on school than I would have if I cared about what I wore every day. And we could still be unique to some extent.

Regardless, if feeling unique is so important, no one is stopping you from wearing what you want outside of school.

In Britain we have to wear uniform but every once in a while we have "mufti" days when we get to come in our normal clothes normally in exchange for a small donation to charity. Every single one of those days is awful, how kids are always judging other kids for the way they are dressed and how fashionably so. I really can't imagine what it would be like every day. It just results in a fashion contest, not a place for education.

For 3 reasons:

1)Equality in every respect,nobody can show off if he/she belongs to an affluent family

2)Self- Identification help

3)Identity of that very School

This is a rebuttal of the claim that school uniforms do not let students express their personality.

Contention 1: Personality is not just expressed by your clothing. You can express your personality in many different ways.

Contention 2: School uniforms are needed as they express the school's image as being united. If school uniforms are removed, and everyone gets to wear different clothes, most people would lose their sense of unity and belonging. Besides, would it not be utterly ridiculous to see a school on a class outing trip wearing different colored clothes? The class would look ridiculous.

Contention 3: If a student have a horrible personality, is he allowed to wear clothes containing obscenities such as profanities. If the ones who claim that school uniforms should be abolished as they give us the ability to express our personalities states that students should not be allowed to wear clothes with obscenities, then they are contradicting as wearing a clothes with obscenities is also a way of expressing your personality.

In conclusion, I am confident that with deeper analysis, one would definitely agree with me that School Uniform should not be abolished just because of that one way to express your personality.

I think we must bear in mind that to begin with the purpose of school is to learn and not to use school as a tool to target weaker or poorer members of society. As a scholarship student in an international school which in non-uniform, I know how much pressure their is to make sure you have a wide range of clothes, and as many of the students are very wealthy, it is easy to distinguish between who is scholarship and who is wealthy. Students should not have to feel self-conscious of how they look going into school. Furthermore, uniform helps create some authority between teachers and students as it shows that they are there the same as all the other students, and they will not be treated differently because of any external factor.
