答案 Should Schools Require Their Students to Wear School Uniforms? Love it or loathe it, school uniforms are a part of growing up for countless children around the world. In an era of pursuing fashion, lots of teenagers may think that uniforms are ugly and unfit. Yet in my opinion, the advantages of school uniforms outweigh its disadvantages. Therefore, schools, especially elementary and middle schools, should require their students to wear uniforms. It is admitted that a safe and disciplined learning environment is the first requirement of a good school. School uniforms are one positive and creative way to achieve this kind of environment. School uniforms help students be aware of their identity of being a student, and thus help to create a strong sense of school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As such they help to cultivate conformity in student attitudes and drive up academic standards. Uniforms, besides, act as a kind of social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and of each other. In institutions without uniforms students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive clothes may be singled out as social outcasts, or laughed at as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear. In addition, uniforms make it easy to check that every student maintains a smart appearance and is dressed appropriately for their classes. In schools where students are allowed to dress as they like, a constant battle has to be fought by staff to ensure that what the students choose to wear is not inappropriate, not too revealing, and not with offensive slogans, etc. Furthermore, uniforms have practical benefits when students are outside the school building. Being readily identified with a particular institution may make students more aware of their behavior while traveling to and from the school, leading them to act more considerately, e.g. offering seats to other passengers on buses or trains. On organized trips away from the school it is much easier for teachers to ensure they haven’t lost anyone and to monitor behavior, than if students wear their own clothes and blend in with the crowds. On all accounts, school uniforms provide quite a few advantages to schools as well as to students themselves. It is essential for schools to require their students to wear uniforms.
