▶ Your Answer :
Many students dislike to wear the school uniform,
complaining that uniforms make them loose their individuality
and spend much money for uniforms. Some countries admit their opinions
and allow students wear their own outfits. However, I personally think that
wearing school uniforms has many advantages. Following are the reasons why I
support this.
First, when students do outdoor program, uniforms help
teacher be able to find students even in the far distance. Many of accidents
occur when students go off their rail during outdoor acitivity. A few years ago,
for instance, a middle school went to Moodeong Mountain on a school strip. On
the way, a student lost his way in the deep mountain. Fortunately, a visitor bumped into the student and the person got to
know he was a part of the school group by seeing their uniform. Likewise,
school uniforms could be effective to look for students on
emergency.
On top of that, wearing the same uniform help all students
seem to be on the same financial position. A few years ago, the Korean
government had tried an educational policy that students wear freely, not
uniforms. This was for student to protect the right of expression for students
and regard each student as a different individual. However, it had some side
effects that educational officials did not expect. Students could guess who are
poor based on their clothes. Unlike the first purpose of the policy, it made
students judge or be judged by appearance.
To conclude, uniforms have many advantages to look for
student on emergent situation and to help
students feel equaled with one another. Therefore, I believe that high school should require all
students to wear uniforms.
