School Uniform Persuasive Writing

Students should wear school uniform. This is because it makes everyone equal, get ready faster in the mornings, makes you proud of your school.

By wearing our school uniform we are made all equal. For example, a survey was released by the Government and done by school students in the U.K in 2015 say that 18% of bullying in schools is based on what clothes they wear, you can find this at https://www.ditchthelabel.org/research-papers/the-annual-bullying-survey-2015/. So if we wore uniforms instead of mufti many kids wouldn’t be bullied and would be equal. So they would focus more on the talents and strengths of the students instead of how they looked.So, would you want to be bullied on how you look? Or would you want to be equal?

As well as being equal, by wearing your uniform you are being proud of your school. This also could be a bad thing since if you do something horrible in public and your in uniform, the parents could be like “I don’t want to send my kids to that school if that person behaves like that” which puts the school reputation up, but if you do good things people might look at the school and think highly of them. According to http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/10691640.Uniform_gives_sense_of_pride/?ref=rc, it does give us a sense of pride and respect by wearing our uniform. If I were a parent I would send my kids to a school that takes pride in their uniform instead of people who don't.

Alongside with being equal, and being proud, by having uniform, it also speeds up your morning routine, instead of spending countless minutes on picking what you’re going to wear today, you can just grab your uniform and put it on. It also relieves stress for the parents as well since they won't be arguing about what you're going to wear. You can see this at https://www.thespruce.com/school-uniform-pros-2101089. You can link this towards yourselves on a mufti day, as you argue with your parents of what you can wear and what you can’t.

With all these positive effects there's also a negative. Due to the price of the uniform, in some schools, a full set or the uniform can cost anything from 100-500 dollars. This can become very stressful for parents and families that aren’t financially ready. For example, an article called  ‘School uniforms: Good for kids or just another expense?’ published by Hannah Martin shows in a survey recently done on parents say ‘88% of parents have a financial stress over paying for their kids uniform’. I can see how this is can become an issue for some parents since money can be hard to make but easy to spend.

Students should wear school uniform. This is because it makes everyone equal also gets you ready faster in the mornings, and makes you proud of your school. So without school uniform, people would get picked for what they wear, and we would lose the sense of pride for our school.
