Should Highschool students wear uniform?
The question represented is, "Should Highschool students wear uniforms?". High schools students should be required to wear uniforms because of the reasoning and based evidence given.
High School students should be required to wear uniforms. Wearing uniforms is mor cost-efficient, reduces reasons for bullying, makes dress code enforcement easier, highlights security threats, saves time, boosts self-esteem, promotes unity, and practices responsibility.
To start off, having a uniform requirement is more cost-efficient for students and parents. With uniform, students can depend on just 5-10 pairs of collared shirts and pants throughout the school year. In contrast, when there is no uniform requirement, students tend to worry about not repeating an outfit, so they buy a new one, and another to replace the replacement. As time goes on, more money is spent to stay ‘trendy’ whereas, if you were required to wear uniform, not only would unique outfits be saved for outings, but you would spend less money throughout the school year replacing clothes.
Another point made was that uniform requirement reduces reasons for bullying. 72% of parents and 86% of school officials believe uniforms minimize peer pressure. From the point of view of someone with a similar mindset, if everyone must wear uniforms there are fewer clothing trends students may feel pressured to follow. So, what is no longer trendy or seen as ‘lame’ cannot be worn, students cannot be picked on for wearing it, especially if they are all wearing the same thing.
Moreover, uniforms make for easier dress code enforcement. 42% of parents, students, and staff members believe school uniforms make it easier to dress code students. Anyone not wearing uniform would automatically be going against the school's dress code, so Teachers would waste less time on explaining how a student's clothing is inappropriate. The explanation to the student would be simple, and there is a high chance the student would be called by security before making it into the classroom.
In addition, it highlights security threats. Research shows that with the uniform requirement implemented, there was a 34% decrease in assault and a 50% decrease in battery with a deadly weapon. Mr.Forbes, AICE general paper course teacher of Hallandale high, said “Makes it easier to protect students and identifies threats.” This is because anyone not wearing uniform is classified as a threat, and immediately isolated from everyone else until they have been cleared as no longer a security threat.
Wearing uniforms also saves time in the morning. 10% of students, parents, and staff officials feel that a uniform requirement saves time. For example, Dr.Jacques, teacher at Hallandale High school, said, “It takes longer to get ready in the morning and much more expensive.” This shows that without uniforms parents are paying more and spending more time making outfits for students in the morning. With the uniform requirement installed, less time is spent deciding on clothes in the morning. This reason is also closely related to the previous one, as it saves time enforcing the dress code. Moreover, it is a considerable time saver for everyone because all you are concerned about is matching your uniform with your shoes and saves time in school worried about dress coding/tracking down threats.
Furthermore, a uniform requirement installation can boost self-esteem. Since every student wears the same thing, there is less insecurity about repeating an outfit or wearing an unpopular shirt. As stated by Mr.Gilespe 11th grade assistant principal of Hallandale high school, “Enhances school spirit and brings students together.” Uniforms create a level playing field and with that you are allowed to feel more confident within yourself. With your clothes being chosen by your school, everything else is allowed to be decided by you however, so you can accessorize yourself, find new trivial things you love about yourself, find your color of jewelry etc.
Of course, uniforms equate to unity. Research provided that 94% of teachers believe school uniforms improve school image. As illustrated, everyone is on a united front. None of the students can stand out for wearing provocative clothing, allowing for inclusion, and a simpler fact is that more pictures would make it into the yearbook. Typically wearing school uniform associated with your school colors increases spirit, morale, and makes them feel as though they belong. Ms.Lee, guidance counselor of Hallandale High School, said, “Better for student behavior and prepares the work field.”
Finally, being required to wear uniforms teaches responsibility. You must maintain a routine for your uniform to last and be used consistently. Uniform is better perceived by teachers. Uniforms also prepare you for events where you are expected to dress formally. Students attending a school with a uniform requirement have a higher of knowing how to iron, making them more prepared for independent living. Therefore, there are many small but significant way uniform requirement improves student life.
