Composition II

Uniforms

There are always people on the street you can recognize that they’re students and what schools they go to. Wearing uniforms to the public schools seems a normal thing. However, lots of people are discussing and arguing about this issue. Some people think public school students should wear uniforms but some others don’t think so. In my opinion, wearing uniforms to school has lots of benefits so we shouldn’t abolish the rule.

Some people might say that if students wear uniforms, they will lack creativity. They think it can arouse their new ideas and the potential of creating new things just because they won’t be “ruled by trivia.” Nevertheless, when people say so, they don’t think of what the real purpose of students to go to school is. Creativity is an important thing but it must be based upon education and fundamentals. If you don’t have enough knowledge, all you think is a mess of daydreams. Anyway, if you don’t concentrate on your studies, you cannot get enough knowledge and going to school is just wasting time and money. Therefore, if public school students wear uniforms, they don’t have to waste time worrying about what they should wear and they can only focus on their studies. You just need a few minutes to put on your school uniforms every day.

What’s more, those people who are against wearing uniforms think they can be in a good mood and look good by wearing their own clothes. However, wearing casual clothes will lead to some discrimination and self-abasement for poor students. If we wear uniforms, the rich and the poor all look alike and the poor don’t have to worry that they don’t have enough money to buy new clothes. It is fair for everybody and students won’t judge others just by one’s appearance.

Still others think that everybody has their human rights and also do the students. They can decide what they want to look like. They say that wearing the uniforms is like the prisons and they think that students lack liberty. Anyway, uniforms represent your identification with your own school. If students like their own school and they regard themselves as one member of the big family, they will try their best to behave well. In addition, students will care about the reputation of their school and they will be united. It’s also good for schools to make their students get the great education.

To be brief, wearing uniforms at public schools is good for students, parents and schools. The main purpose for students to go to school is to get good education and concentrate on absorbing the variety of knowledge. Students will learn that the appearance is not as important as true ability. If students are distracted by those meaningless things and cannot do their best, it will be a real pity!
