Why wear a Uniform?
- When we go on a school trip we all look the same and so can't get lost.
- Stops kids worrying about what to wear each day.
- Everyone is equal.
- Parents don't have to shop for expensive and varied wardrobes for their children to keep up with or show-off to other children
- Wearing a uniform instills a sense of pride and discipline in students
Why not to wear a uniform:
- Uniforms deny students their right to personal identity and self-expression.
