School uniforms

School uniforms have been around for decades. However, throughout the years this issue has raised many questions in regards to it's pros and cons.

When duscussing the issue of shcool uniform, one must first relate to the social agenda behind it. School uniforms are ment to disguise and social and economical differences, making everyone look alike. Also, on a personal level, the school uniform can save time in the morning, that would other wise be dedicated to thinking what to wear.

However, school uniforms can also restrict you and limit your personal and individual taste in clothes. Teens often need to express their individuality and making them wear a school uniform can undermine this. Furthemore, schools that wish to encourage their pupils to think independently cannot and should not force a dress code. Personal choise begins with how you choose to present yourself to the world, and when you have to cover it up with a uniform it is like wearing a mask or a disguise.

To conclude, the school uniform might be beneficial when it when it is designed for young children like those in grade school, but for pupils in high scool it causes more damage than good. In my opinion school uniforms should be restricted to grade school only.
