1. They might not pay attention during class because they keep messing with uncomfortable clothes.

2. Uniforms stifles their self-expression. Childhood is the time for self-expression. If you can't express yourself during childhood, you won't be allowed to do it later. Certainly not in the military, only to a certain extent in college, certainly not on the job, and likely not after marriage.

3. Ironically, uniforms teach snobbishness and bullying. It sends the message that you are not worth anything unless you look like everyone else. Teaching "professionalism" is not necessarily a good thing, since that usually means teaching snobbery and intolerance for difference and change. Teaching others to live lies and pretend to be people other than who they are is never good. If students are not exposed to difference early in life and disciplined each time they disrupt or bully because someone looks a little different, then that simply causes them to want to do so as soon as they leave the sheltered environment of school.

4. Uniforms and excessive, unreasonable dress codes stifle creativity. The students who want to express themselves the most often are the most intelligent and have the most to offer. But forcing them to be someone else just so the bullies and low-income students can feel more comfortable is unfair to them. Most of the students who are suspended for what they wear are high academic achievers.

5. They contribute to victim-blaming. We would never tell a victim of sexual assault that she asked for it because of what she was wearing. But uniforms send the message that students should get bullied if they don't wear what others want them to wear. Getting sent home for being out of uniform is really no better then getting physically attacked by another student because of what you choose to wear. Both are types of bullying.

students need to express individuality. you may think that people may get picked on according to what clothes they were, but bullies are always going to find a way to pick on them no matter what. also students from others schools are likely to pick on that school because of their uniform

Should students wear uniformes?

Whether or not students should wear uniforms is merely opinionated. On one hand making students wear uniforms could be a good idea and on the other may not be. By wearing what the student chooses (following dress code) students are able to express his or her own originality. Students who wear uniforms can not do this. I enjoy being able to wear a pair of jeans and a T-shirt instead of a uniform. Other may enjoy knowing exactly what he or she will wear on a daily basis. Wearing uniforms could save parents money on buying their children "the latest fashions" but the price of uniforms may be too costly for most families in this economy. The tables can go both ways on whether or not students should wear uniforms. Being a high school student, I would say students should not have to wear uniforms to school.
