"School Uniforms"

School Uniforms
The school that my children go to insist on all their children wearing School Uniforms everyday. I know from talking to friends who have children in the school that School Uniforms are a contentious issue for many parents. Some people think that pupils should be able to wear their own clothes to school and that they should not have to pay extra money for clothes that they do not need. Another argument is that when pupils can wear their own clothes to school they feel more comfortable and therefore more ready to work. They also say that wearing their own clothes to school makes students feel they retain their individuality. However, I disagree with most of these statements. I feel that School Uniforms instill a sense of discipline within children that they need in order to get the most out of their education. Discipline is extremely important to children and, although they often rebel against it, I feel that ultimately they like rules and regulations to be in place because they know where they stand in their daily life. Wearing a uniform also upholds the values of the school and gives it a profile throughout the whole community.
