Should Saipan International School require students to wear uniforms?

             Should Saipan International School have uniforms or not? This is today’s topic. This is a reoccurring topic in most of the schools. I’ve been to schools that require uniforms and schools that don’t. There are both advantages and disadvantages for both. Schools that have uniforms would be more united and have a distinct feature. Schools without uniforms will have their own type of way of showing their personalities. If I was to choose, Saipan International School should not require the use of uniforms.

             Uniforms have advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages in wearing uniforms are that you have to wear same clothes everyday and you will kind of feel bored. Another disadvantage would be that you won’t be able to express your feelings through uniforms. Some students express their personalities through the way they dress up. If you wear uniforms, everyone would look the same and none of them would have their kind of way of styling. However, there are advantages to wearing a uniform. The first advantage is that you don’t have to think daily of how you will be looked upon by other classmates. This is important because if you don’t have uniforms, you stay in front of your closet thinking of which clothes to wear. This is both time consuming and it requires useless time. Another advantage of having a uniform is that you won’t be left out when people are discussing about styles. In schools that require uniforms, all students dress the same, so when people tries to make fun of the way they dress, they are making fun of themselves at the same time. If all students are wearing the same uniforms, there will be less teasing and isolation going on.

             I think that students should be able to wear what you want to wear to school. There should be restrictions on what they wear so they don’t wear anything too inappropriate or exposing or anything like that, but at least not the same thing over and over again every single day. With juts a few restrictions, it would be okay, but seriously no uniforms. It would just make school feel more like a prison rather than a place to learn and educate ourselves. It would bring down our mood and we would be gloomy and learning information would be so much harder because we aren’t happy and focused or interested in anything. Students should be able to not have to wear uniforms and be able to express themselves wearing different types of clothing for different events. Maybe this person really likes the color blue, schools shouldn’t force him to wear white day after day and have him hate it. Uniforms also make a school seem much more boring. All the students and kids there look exactly the same and its so plain, nothing interesting at all. 

             Saipan International School shouldn’t require the students to wear uniforms and let them wear whatever they want because it is somewhat a way to express their feelings and how they could make friends. It is a way of socializing in a school. And uniforms would restrict that.
