I HATE GYM UNIFORMS, they are SO uncomfortable and UGLY, i think they have too many big sizes and barely any small sizes. They are hard to do PE class in and no one likes them! We need to change are gym uniforms.

Having a school uniform can restrict individuality and self-expression among students. It can also create a sense of conformity, inhibiting creativity and personal style. Additionally, uniforms can be expensive for families who have limited financial resources, potentially leading to financial strain and inequality among students.
There is no conclusive evidence that wearing school uniforms directly improves academic performance. Factors such as school environment, teaching quality, student engagement, and parental involvement have a more significant impact on a child's academic success. However, uniforms can promote a sense of belonging and equality among students, reducing distractions from fashion trends and social status.
School uniforms can be considered restrictive and limit students' expression and individuality. They can also be costly for families who have to buy multiple uniforms. Additionally, uniforms may not necessarily improve discipline or create a positive learning environment; factors such as effective teaching methods and a supportive school culture are more important in this regard.
School uniforms were initially introduced to promote a sense of equality among students by minimizing visible differences in socio-economic backgrounds and fashion choices. They were also intended to instill a sense of discipline, reduce distractions, and create a more focused learning environment. Additionally, uniforms can enhance school security by easily identifying students and distinguishing them from outsiders.
In conclusion, school uniforms serve several important functions in educational settings. They promote a sense of unity and equality among students, eliminate distractions related to clothing choices, and help foster a focus on learning. While there may be some drawbacks or limitations to the implementation of school uniforms, the benefits and positive impact they have on the school environment make them a good choice for many schools.
Wearing a school uniform properly is important as it promotes a sense of unity and equality among students. It creates a professional and respectful environment, showing that students take pride in their appearance and are ready to engage in their studies. Additionally, adhering to uniform regulations helps to minimize distractions and maintain focus on learning.

Commonly, school uniforms are comprised of the following garments:
Boys:
- Khaki pants/shorts
- Polo or golf shirt (Commonly white)
- Sweaters, pullovers and/or vests
Girls:
- Khaki pants/skirt
- french blouse, golf or polo shirt (Commonly white)
- Sweaters, pullovers and/or vests
Because a school uniform keeps everything in order and seperates pupils from unwanted citizens. Also think about it from your own Perspective you don't have to wear all of your own clothes and then have no good clothes for the weekend
Commonly, for the girl's uniform they usually wear "sailor" outfits that are called "seifuku" in Japan in any possible color. Middle School and high school girls in Japan are given to wear two separate uniforms: the winter uniform and the summer uniform- long sleeve uniform and short-sleeve uniform.
For the boy's uniform they have to wear jumpsuits that are usually navy blue. Middle school and high school boys in Japan are also given to wear separate uniforms summer and winter. For summer, Boys wear a white polo shirt and black or navy blue pants.
In elementary, kids in Japan usually or don't have to wear school uniform. But the time their in the third grade, they actually have to. Girls wear the seifuku school uniforms and boys also do, too.
For the shoes, middle and high school students are required to wear two sets of shoes: brown loafers and indoor shoes that are plain white.
That's what students are supposed to wear in Japan!
The effects of wearing improper uniform makes the bearer unpleasant... in terms of maritime education, the cadet who is not in proper uniform calls him a "lousy cadet" because of his unpleasant appearance and shows no respect to maritime instructors and/or senior officers.
There are various reasons for it-:
wear dark skinny jeans with a dress shirt keep it open and wear a t-shirt under it maybe half sleeve ,push up the sleeves of the dress shirt,wear a snap back or fitted,brand named shoes,wear a varsity if have not ok ,and now you've got Sw@G
In whatever clothes they need for their job. A person who assembles things with hand tools will wear shirt, pants, safety shoes and safety goggles - and maybe a hard hat and gloves. Someone who works around high heat will wear heat-resistant clothes.
Most schools will usually make you pay for school uniforms. You must likely will also have to purchase gym clothes for physical education.
There are no current places that require boys to wear tights as part of a school uniform. School uniform standards evolved to create dress standards for students in school. For boys this generally involved pants, a collard shirt, a belt, tie and perhaps a blazer. The aim was to instill good habits in students so they would be used to dressing for success in society when finished with school. For boys that generally meant wearing a suit as a man. School uniform standards still follow this model at most school today.
By the same token, girls are often required to wear skirts in their uniform. They may also be required to wear tights. The reason is similar to boys…so the girls grow up to dress as adult women, who for several decades, were expected to wear a dress and tights, or pantyhose to be successful in society. Generally speaking men are still expected to wear suits to be successful in society. Women have more choices in what they can wear. But the traditional standard set in the last several decades is that women and girls wear tights in society, not men. A school would have no reason to require tights for boys when tights are not part of the adult male wardrobe today, But requiring it of girls would follow the current social norms surrounding how one should dress as an adult.
You know, going to a private school and having a uniform is more of a status thing, and it doesn't make you smarter; a person who has a public education can have the same amount of ambition and intelligence as a person who is "privledged" enough to go to an expensive private school.
I have seen a lot of school uniforms and some are smart and some are not. Wearing a school uniform will not make you more intelligent.
Both private and state schools can opt to have uniforms or not have uniforms. Often school councils want uniforms and are involved in its design. There is no evidence that introducing a school uniform will improve school performance.
Schoolgirls (and boys) in Romania, go to school with the most different types of clothing.
and many many more x
I believe hats are a way of expressing a students individuality and by not allowing them to wear them the students are lacking in self growth
And I think hats are harmless and WHY THE HECK do they have hat day if they have been made out to be A DISTRACTION I mean stupid teachers. Hats are just a article of clothing. gosh! They just want to take power over us!
Students sometimes are being made fun of because of what they wear but if you wear school uniforms you wouldn't be made fun of because they are wearing the same clothing. But also it is a lot cheaper to parents if you wear them then if your parents had to buy their children's clothing.
Not every school has uniforms, but there are some that uniforms are mandatory. Some types of school include: private schools, Catholic, military, Ect. I think school uniforms should be a must have in every school, when students wear the school uniforms it shows the similaraites between them. When uniforms are in schools students tend to treat each other with more respect because they cant judge each other on what they are wearing, cause they are all wearing the same thing. When a student is wearing a school uniform it shows that they go to school and what school that they go to. It is believed to make students proud and more dignified and less likely to get into fights. Also it is believed to help the bullying problem for not having the " name brand' clothing.
I think that school uniforms help schools and students because if there is no school uniforms, kids that are not "wealthy" would find it hard to keep up with the new school trends witch could lead to bullying. It also helps with the schools cause they have less problems to deal with , like bullying for example, it would also make schools look more presentable. School uniforms started a long time ago, they started in around 1961. school uniforms started to make students feel important, like they were in some sort of organism.
If school uniforms are inforced in every school students cant judged other students on what they wear. A good idea would have school uniforms on certan days and not on the other for example: have uniforms every other day, so that students can show a bit of their own personality in their cloths that they wear, and if they are not that " wealthy" than they can just wear their uniform every day, " if they want to." the major reason that I think school uniforms wold be bullies, I have been bullied my whole life on what I have worn cause I did not have that much money as a kid and I know how it feels to not have the brand of clothing that every other kid is wearing and I know it is not fun to be made fun of cause of ur cloths.
I think that school uniforms have a good and bad side. The good part would be you always know what you're going to wear that day, and you don't have to spend tons of money on brand clothes. the bad side would be there is no individulaity,everyone looks the same. I don't like uniforms. But you can make your choice.
They say they really suck and F*** So MUCH! ! ! ! ! But i say they rock!
