Pros and
Cons of School Uniforms
Posted: Sep 9th, 2005
We have worked with schools across the United States, and
believe us, you are not the only person asking this question! The answers
that we have heard from our customers are as varied as our customers are. The
debate over school uniforms is complicated, so we've included highlights from
both sides for you to consider:
Professional:
Some say that a child in a school uniform is more likely to
take school seriously. Putting on the school uniform signals he or she is
going to school just like dad dresses up to go to work. Schools report that
when students dress in "work clothes" rather than "play
clothes" they take a more serious approach to their studies.
Promotes Good Discipline:
Many think that school uniforms help maintain school
discipline, decreasing the amount of discipline problems. The argument is
that children today are lacking in self-discipline because parents refuse to
discipline them. This makes it more difficult on the teacher who has to deal
with classes of 25-30 students at a time.
Reduces Fighting and Violence:
Schools report that school uniforms decrease fighting and
violence that arrise out of arguments over fashionable clothes. Children
invariably tease those who do not have trendy clothes. Those who can't afford
name brand clothes are often sensitive about their clothing. Schools
struggling with gang problems report that school uniforms help ease tensions.
Distractions:
Many parents believe that students wearing school uniforms
look nicer and that a school uniform policy ensures that children will come
to school in appropriate clothing, avoiding distractions such as fads
considered to be outlandish or overly revealing. Some students have turned
school into an unending fashion show. This disctracts from learning, as some
kids spend more time focused on thier clothes than on homework.
Values:
School uniforms stress that individuality and self-expression
are not determined by designer clothing or the latest fashion fad.
Low Cost:
School uniforms are a bargain. They are becoming far less
expensive than many other clothes. Schools argue that school uniforms are
economical, especially compared to designer clothing, and parents agree given
school uniform durability. They say school uniforms last longer because they
are made for repeated wash and wear. Many schools capitalize on this by
starting used school uniform stores or swap meets. Parents can get used
school uniforms at discount prices, or just use them as hand-me-downs between
siblings.
School Spirit:
Some feel wearing a school uniform helps build school spirit.
It instills a feeling of belonging. As the Beach Boys said, "Be true to
your school." Schools report an increase in school pride.
Individuality:
Supressing individuality is the most commonly cited objection
to school uniforms. Educators argue that an academic program encouraging
students to pursue individual thought is much more important than what they
wear. They inhibit creativity and self-expression, forcing students to
conform.
Causes Discipline Problems:
Some students reject any rules. Forcing them to wear school
uniforms only aggravates their rebelious spirit. They alter their school
uniform by tightening, widening, shortening, or lengthening them, and teachers
are given the impossible task of policing the students on a daily basis.
Little or No Relationship to Academics:
Opponents insist that their is no credible evidence that
school uniforms improve school discipline or promote higher academic acheivement.
The principal argument is that some great students are terrible dressers.
Dress does not necessarily improve learning.
