▶ Your Answer :
Some people contend that all students should wear their school uniform. I do not agree with such argument. There are many reasons to spouse my argument, but two main reasons will be explained by following.
First of all, schools should not make students buy and wear school uniforms. This is because most people are struggling with monetary problems these days. As society becomes more complex and fast-changing, people are spending money for various purposes. Because people are tied up by their heavy workloads, they are extremely pressured and stressed out. Thus, people in now a day spend a lot of time relieving their stress, including going for a hike, joining cooking classes, and going to a concert. For these reasons, it will be another stress and burden for people in modern society to make them spend money to buy school uniforms for their children. My own case is a great example of this. When I was a high school student, school faculty members made students wear school uniforms one day. At that time, I thought it would help students build solid relationships each other. However, to my astonishment, many parents of students did extra work for that period to make money to buy school uniforms to their children. It actually made many parents of students feel pressure to make extra money that they had not thought of in addition to the money for essential and stress-relieving parts. Therefore, the value of school uniform that could benefit us is over-valued.
Also, students in modern society should not wear school uniforms in that wearing school uniforms hampers student from developing creativity. In these days, innovation and creativity are key features for companies to survive and outpace competitors. Since the speed of development for technology is becoming faster, the competition among companies will be much more severe as time goes by. Thus, schools should put innovation and creativity first when they set the direction for education. In this context, making students wear identical school uniforms does not allow students to express their distinguished characters. According to a survey in a education forum in Japan, two thirds of participants mentioned that they do not want to make students to wear school uniforms. In addition, they said that they want to make students to choose and take a responsibility for what students choose, including school uniforms, and subjects to study further.
In this way, schools should promote the creativity for their students by not making students to wear school uniforms.
All in all, I do not agree with the idea that students should wear school uniforms. Since the money for school uniform will make families of students fell pressure and creativity of students will be negatively affected, schools should not make their students wear school uniforms. |
