(Suggested Answer)
In many schools around the world, students must wear a school uniform. However, should uniforms be compulsory in schools and if so, what are the drawbacks?
Certainly there are many arguments in favour of wearing school uniforms. To start with, it reduces peer pressure. Since everyone looks the same, there is no difference between students. This also means that students don’t feel forced into wearing the latest fashion or shopping at more expensive shops to keep up with their friends. Moreover, it saves parents money. After all, school uniforms are cheaper to buy than popular designer clothes.
In contrast, being made to wear school uniforms limits students’ self-expression. Students aren’t allowed to be creative and express who they are because everyone looks the same. Another disadvantage of wearing school uniform is that they can be uncomfortable for students. For example, school uniforms can be itchy or too hot to wear in the summer.
Taking into consideration both viewpoints on the subject, I am of the opinion that the benefits to wearing school uniforms outweigh the negative aspects. Despite the drawbacks, it’s important that all students feel equal to one another and I believe this can only be achieved by making the wearing of school uniforms compulsory.
