Benefits of School Uniforms
January 15, 2021
Do you think school uniforms help or harm the students? In my opinion, I believe that they would help the students and staff who wear them. School uniforms could help them identify intruders easier, and could help those students who are less fortunate when it comes to clothing.
One way that school uniforms could be a benefit is that they could be used to help identify whether a person in the school building is or is not an intruder. According to information from google sources, violence and crime at school translates to a rate of 29 situations per 1,000 students enrolled in the school year of 2017-2018. And in that same year, 47% of schools reported one or more situations of violence, theft, or other crimes to the police. If school uniforms are made for the students and staff only, then anyone else wouldn’t have them. So that nothing like this happens, students and staff could turn in the uniforms at the end of the school year so that they are not used for things such as this in the future. And if the students and staff are the only people who have and wear the uniforms, then intruders could easily be identified if they are not wearing one.
A second way in which school uniforms could be beneficial is that they could be a help to those students who may be less fortunate when it comes to clothing. In many schools, there are a few students who are not very fortunate when it comes to clothing, and those same students may not have the money to afford new clothing for school. If school uniforms were given out to students each year, this would help the ones who are less fortunate to not worry about having to spend money for new clothing. This also would, in a way, help the less fortunate students to not get bullied or made fun of as often because of their clothing.
Now having read of two ways that school uniforms could be a benefit to those who are students and staff, are you for or against them? Why or why would you be for or against them? Have either of my reasons helped to build your opinion of being for school uniforms? Do you agree or disagree with either of the reasons in which I gave? Comment your thoughts below!

In my own opinion. I don’t like school uniforms. I know some schools are forced to wear a uniform, but I mean they could be really uncomfortable or not your style. The thing is school uniforms means people can’t dress the way they like to dress. Some schools have to go through that and you have to wear a uniform every day. I don’t think it would be as bad at first but after awhile people will start getting tired of it.

I disagree and agree I disagree be cause school uniforms would be very uncountable and I agree be cause you could not get dress coded or made fun of the close that you wear.

I like this article, but the only reason I don’t agree with school uniforms is because I think that you should be able to wear what you want to wear.

Some schools make you pay for school uniforms , and the uniforms can be expensive. In my opinion i think students should wear whatever they want (school approved clothing) so they can express their style and be unique.

I agree with having to wear uniforms. Intruders have a bad habit of coming into the schools, and less bullying will be going around. I strongly agree with both reasons.

I disagree with you mainly because not everyone wants to wear the same outfit everyday. Also it would take more time out of the day to was the uniform in which take away time from studying. I believe that we should have a single day each month where everyone wears their uniform.

I disagree with school uniforms because if we had to wear them what if it was really cold outside and they wouldn’t let us wear something to keep our legs warm.

I think we should have school uniforms but at the same time I would get tired of wearing the same thing as everyone else.

I agree with your whole statement about why we should have school uniforms.

This article is probably the first article about school uniforms that talk about school safety. I agree with you when it comes to school uniforms being cheaper than normal clothes. I will say though, when I went to W.J. Baird, I was envious of others students uniforms. It’s not the style of the clothing that some kids want, it could be the brand. But overall this idea isn’t bad at all, thanks for writing about this Summer! 🙂
