most of the teachers and parents thinks uniforms improve the appearance of children but raise performance. They say school uniforms are good for discipline and school ethos, giving pupils a real sense of identity with their school. Is this really true? We are constantly being told how standards are higher in Europe but in most of Europe uniforms are not widespread. what do you think abt this?!!
According to a 2001 survey by the Family Welfare Association (FWA), the average primary school uniform, including sports kit costs �92 for girls and �115 for boys. This rises to �157 each by the time they reach secondary school. Students who born in a poor family, their parents are buying their clothes in cheap market, sometimes it will just cost like a few ponds for one shirt, so they will not afford this kind of high fee for the school uniform, it is better for the school to no have school uniform because some poor family will not be able to pay for it.
well, here's my two reasons><
some people think if we wear our own close, students will compare to each others, so make the class stay in different groups, that's not true! make friends is not because how rich you are, its abt ur personality n stuff....

well, this is an interesting topic!
first, I will show my opinion. and this is one question for you! do you know the real meaning of school uniforms?
I bet you will think uniforms is a tool to help people recognize those pupils belong to what school? you 're quite wrong! through uniforms, pupils will feel more comfortable, more harmonious. there is no gap of the rich and the poor, no expensive clothes, no cheap ones. It will help poor, disavantage pupils feel more confident
the problem in'nt in uniforms but in official's mind. I think our solution is "cheaper uniforms".
