School uniforms should be banned
Do you think school uniforms should be banned? Well I do and I’m going to tell you exactly why! They are extremely costly, are totally uncomfortable and impractical and lastly, they don’t allow students to show their personality, individuality, style or creativity. I strongly believe that school uniforms should be illegal and I think that by the end of my speech you will think so too.
Did you know that school uniforms are EXTREMELY costly? Well, if you didn’t, you are in for a huge shock! At Halsey Drive School, clothing that makes up the school uniform is extremely expensive. The price of school uniforms are, sweatshirt for $48.00, the polo t-shirt for $36.00, the jacket for $67.50, the summer hat for $14.50, the skirt for $65.00, the girls pants for $46.00, the shorts for $38.50 and lastly the boys pants for $47.00. On top of that, their is an additional shipping and delivery price is a whooping $7.00. Sadly, the spending on school uniforms doesn't stop for parents as children grow in height rapidly, this means that they could outgrow them many times through their years at primary school. Then even more money is wasted on school uniforms upsizing items. If we all wore the same things, we would all look the same and that would absolutely not be cool. Not only that, you also have to have a second pair of skirts, shorts, pants and shirts because then if one pair is dirty or lost you will still have a second pair handy. But on the other hand, if you didn’t have to wear school uniforms you wouldn’t have to worry about all of these problems for the good of it. Wouldn’t life for parents be a little easier when it comes to money if we didn’t have school uniforms. Just think about it.
If you ask me, school uniforms are extremely uncomfortable and impractical. Well if you don’t agree with me, let me put it this way. In some schools the uniform standards are so high that when kids try to make their uniforms look to that standard they feel really uncomfortable and don’t feel like wearing it anymore. For example, doing all the buttons up on their shirt, tucking in their shirt or pulling up their socks. Some schools require girls to wear long skirts down to their ankles and other schools even make students wear ties, is this really necessary…. It’s not like they’re going to a business meeting! Some uniforms are made from unpleasant materials and fabrics that make you itch from the start of the school day to the end. Some are so badly designed that they don’t fit well and are hard to move in, especially during fitness and PE. Children move around a lot during the school day, especially at playtimes and may end up doing activities that involve running, jumping, skipping, climbing, twisting and turning. Kids should be able to move around freely and do all the things that kids love to do without being restricted by a bothersome uniform! Did you know that school uniforms are completely useless? They cause lots of problems. If you compare a school with uniforms and a school without, the school without uniforms have less problems where as the school with uniforms has many problems regarding them.
I strongly believe that when children wear school uniforms, they are not able to express their personality, individuality, style or creativity. Children like to wear stuff they want to wear, not disgusting and boring school uniforms. Different types of people like to wear different types of clothing.
So, to summarise, I believe that uniforms should be banned. School uniforms are extremely costly, are totally uncomfortable and impractical and lastly, they don’t allow students to show their personality, individuality, style or creativity. Don’t you think we should take action and ban school uniforms for the good of it? Don’t you think schools would be better without them?
