Supporting School Uniforms

The topic of whether it is right or wrong to be made to wear School uniform is what I will be discussing. This is an issue as people have conflicting views on why we should be forced to wear these clothes. The majority believe this to be a commendable notion whereas some think it isn't worth it. Despite some good points for opposing uniform, my overall view is that it is a good idea.

One of the the most debatable and contraversial issues when opposing School uniform is that it removes individual identity. The view is that people should be given the choice whether they wish to wear School uniform or not. The opposition believe they should be entitled to what they call ''freedom of expression'', meaning the right to wear what they please.

On reflection, a bully can feel like the nastyest people in the world, just when you think you have stoped them, they come back to beat you with other end of the stick.

Although school uniform has some disadvantages, all things considered that it remains a posotive resource. Perhaps in a different world where incomes weren't an issue and devicive kidnappers did not exist then there could be a case for the abolishment of uniform. But for now, Many countries are not ready for such a change.
