Advantages of Wearing Uniform

School uniforms provide several benefits such as promoting unity, reducing competition over clothing, and being more economical for parents. Uniforms help create a sense of equality among students by making it difficult to discern their economic backgrounds. However, uniforms also have disadvantages like limiting self-expression, removing individuality and freedom, potentially causing physical discomfort, and hampering the development of decision making skills in children. They may also conflict with the idea of free education if the costs are not sponsored for underprivileged families.

Advantages of wearing uniform?

1. They create uniformity.


There can be a better sense of unity because everyone will wear the same clothes and
they have a single identity. Also, there will be less competition among children about
who has the more expensive outfits or who looks better or is more fashionable.
Usually, school uniforms can be worn for a whole year or two. This means there isn’t a
need to spend for new clothes every semester and parents don’t have to deal with
picky children who demand expensive brands or a certain style of clothing.
3. Uniforms Help Break Class Barriers
When all the kids are dressed in the same clothes it is difficult to establish their
economic background. Uniforms create a sense of equality among kids, which makes
them mingle with each other without bothering about their economic and social status.
6. Uniforms Are More Economical
Buying school uniforms for kids is more economical than buying an entire wardrobe
for the season. Also, the school uniforms are made from stronger and better fabric,
which means they can stand repeated washing and everyday wear and tear better than
normal clothes. This also means that a few sets of uniforms can be sufficient to sail
effectively throughout the entire academic year.

Disadvantages of wearing uniform?
Con 2: Uniforms limit student self-expression.
Another argument made against uniforms is that they limit students’ self-expression.
Teenagers in particular are famous for needing to express their emotions and their
tastes in music, fashion and art through clothing, hair and piercings. School can be
tough on kids and teens as it is, without taking away one of the few areas where they
can exert some control and express themselves, say opponents of school uniforms.
1. They take away individuality and freedom of expression.
Learning how to express yourself is a right that most parents want their children to
learn from a young age. By not allowing kids to show their individuality through the
way they dress, they may feel oppressed and discouraged to develop their own
personality.
4. They can cause discomfort.
Some kids may have allergies or feel uncomfortable due to tightness and rigidness.
This can affect their mood and learning throughout the whole day.
In an effort to enforce equality amongst students, sometimes certain uniform rules can
create other kinds of biases and inequalities such as girls may not be allowed to wear
pants. They may be asked to wear stockings. Similarly, wearing ties may be
compulsory for boys, which they may not like.
4. They May Conflict With the Right to Free Education
Until or unless the government sponsors the cost of uniform for the underprivileged,
the expenses on school uniform will have to be taken care of by the students’ parents
or family. This may not be in favour of the idea of free education, where public
schools are expected to provide education to underprivileged kids at no cost.
8. They May Hamper a Child’s Decision Making Skills
By making children follow a set of rules and forcing a uniform on them, we take away
their right to make a choice and decide for themselves. Children should be given the
opportunity to decide for themselves. If you make rules and regulations for them and
ask them to follow what you have decided for them, they won’t be able to make
decisions for themselves.
