School Dress Codes: A Physical And Mental Pain
On the first day of middle school, I made my way to the RSGC stairs. With a white long sleeve dress shirt, an RSGC tie, grey dress trousers, dress shoes, and black socks, I was properly attired in our school uniform. Ladies and gentlemen, children and adults, officials and educators, I’ll provide a quick overview of the centuries-old argument amongst students in Canada about the merits of wearing uniforms to school.
Many individuals claim that wearing school uniforms is advantageous for us students. According to some, the reason why school uniforms are beneficial is because they make getting ready for class simpler. Students no longer need to seek for their favorite clothing since they can locate their uniforms with ease. They will probably arrive at school on time since some time was saved. Others contend that wearing school uniforms separates the wealthy from the poor, lessens bullying and taunting, and fosters school spirit. Parents may use part of that money to purchase uniforms for their children rather than spending a fortune on casual wear. Peer pressure about clothing wouldn’t be there if everyone dressed uniformly. It doesn’t indicate whether you are wealthy or not. Additionally, there wouldn’t be any rivalry over who was wearing the newest fashion. According to Atlas Infinity, schools genuinely assert that when children wear uniforms to school, discipline improves and pupils make academic progress.
Unbelievably, according to debate.org (a website that lets you voice your opinions on whether or not something is advantageous or not; in this example, it would be about uniforms), 44% of people believe that uniforms are advantageous, but an astounding 56% disagree. These individuals claim that it is unfavorable since it prevents their children from expressing their individuality and opinions, which is often done via fashion. Some individuals claim that since school uniforms are so expensive, some parents may only be able to purchase one or two pieces. It will then take up important time that might have been spent on schoolwork, playing, or even resting when the kids arrive home from school and the parents and/or their children have to wash the uniform to wear the following day. But the largest problem with school uniforms that has been raised thus far is the pain they bring with them, both emotionally and physically. Some children could experience tightness and/or rigidity from the uniform if they are allergic to certain materials. This may worsen their anger and have an impact on their academic performance. They could also believe that if they wear their uniform while going home, children from other schools would make fun of them and begin to bully them. Depression and sleep deprivation may result from this.
