Speech

Many adults and students will agree with me that the idea of a school uniform is a waste of time. Every student should have their own say in what they want to wear to school, as they are the ones who have to sit in a classroom all day and work to achieve a good education. Wouldn’t you like to have a view on what you would want to wear every day?

According to a debating website, 30% of the public said yes to having a uniform and 70% say no, which clearly shows most of the public agree with my view. I’m sure parents have overheard or had conversations with their children discussing if a uniform is really appropriate. Most parents would say to their children how ‘adorable’ they look or how ‘smart’ they look, but really a uniform is nothing special at all its: dull, plain and doesn’t express anything that we would all like to show. I think that the expense of uniforms is overpriced, restricting and unnecessary. Especially those that have colour and style requirements for every part of the outfit, are not easy for many parents to afford. We would all like to spend our well earned money on things that are actually worth buying, so why is it a must to wear a uniform?

You will all agree that school uniform doesn’t express people’s true personalities. I think it’s more appropriate for students to wear their own sensible clothing to school than a plain, boring uniform that is only worn to one place, why don’t you spend your money on clothing that is suitable to wear elsewhere. I believe students expressive themselves through what they wear. They should not be able to wear uniforms because they need to express their own individuality and teachers spend too much time worrying about what the students have on every day and not enough teaching time, for students to actually learn new things.

I believe that Students do not have individuality when they have to wear uniforms. The students who attend the school also become rebellious, testing authority to see how far they can go if they have a uniform. I believe that it encourages more of a bad behaviour whilst being at school, when it could easily be prevented by getting rid of uniform. I certainly didn’t feel comfortable in a uniform, as everyone around me looked the same; the whole clothing wasn’t comfortable to wear which put me off of going to school, knowing what we had to wear.
