Assignment #14:Persuasive Essay: Uniforms

 I think that all students should be able to wear whatever they want and show their personality with what they wear. The administration should give us a chance to show that we could wear what we want but still follow the rules that they give us. I'm sure that the students wouldn't want to mess things up because nobody likes to wear uniforms. I think that most students will agree with having no uniforms at our high school, but if some students disagree than they should wear uniforms if they want as long as the rest of the students wear the clothes they would like to wear.

 Students would like to wear their normal clothes to school because it expresses their personality and shows their style. If everybody wears exactly the same thing everyday, I think it will be boring because nobody wants to look the same. There might be other ways to express yourself, but it's kind of hard when you have to dress a certain way and only wear certain colors. In elementary and middle school, I had to wear uniforms and honestly I didn't really like it but I didn't have a choice. There were only some days when they let the students wear their normal clothes and everybody was happy we didn't have to wear the uniforms for a day.

 I think that the school uniforms are kind of ugly. They only have certain styles and colors you could pick from. Maybe if they made the uniforms more fashionable or something, the students probably wouldn't mind wearing them. Once in awhile you could find normal clothes that are the colors of uniforms, but I don't think that happens very often. If you don't follow the dress code it seems like you get in a lot of trouble just for that and I think that it shouldn't be a big problem because they are just clothes. It's like there could be worse problems at the school, but the teachers and administration end up going after the students that didn't follow the dress code.

 Another thing about school uniforms is that our parents have to go buy us new clothes just for school every year because eventually we will grow out of the clothes from the year before. Uniforms aren't that cheap either and there's a lot of families that don't have much money to buy their children new clothes. Just for their children to go to school they have to find ways to buy the uniforms and once school is over it's not like we are going to wear them again. We will either throw the old uniforms away or we will give them to somebody else, so they could use them.

 Also, students aren't the only people that don't like the uniforms, there are teachers that don't like to follow the dress code either. They only follow it because it's their job and they don't want to end up getting fired. Another thing the students don't like is when the school bands certain clothing because it's "gang related". Just because it could be "gang related" doesn't mean that the people who wear it are in gangs. Like to me it's just clothes that you wear, it doesn't mean I'm in a gang. If I wear those certain clothes, I will get in trouble for sure and then the administration will probably call my parents. It's like they think the parents have all the time in the world to bring their child a change of clothes. Most parents have jobs or they are out getting things done and they can't answer their phone or something.
