Hey guys.
Lately, there was a lot of rumour in my town regarding the obligation of wearing school uniforms. I would like to sharing my thoughts about it on here.
In fact, it's exactly like I expected. Most of the older people like the parents approve of that idea. Well, you'd expect them to form sensible arguments to support their standpoint, but most of the time I just hear "Oh, but it'd look so cute!". Jokes aside, they think it'd teach children discipline and help them focus on other things than clothing. But in my opinion, it would just make everything worse.
I mean, everybody knows we're all different. People are diverse. And that's cool, that's really great. Making each student look exactly ordinary by wearing the same clothes would just completely flatten that statement. Of course, diversity comes not only from the variety of clothing preferences - but the way we all dress is one of the main ways to express ourselves, isn't it? Also, the contents of our wardrobe often show which subculture we identify ourselves with. I'm sure you'd all agree with me about that. A lot of us simply love to experiment with our appearance.
Some people may try and pull the wool over our eyes by saying how fun school uniforms can be. But in a long run, if the idea was realized, it'd make school even more dull for everyone. It kills creativity and diversity, makes us look like we're all the same. We can't let that happen. What are your thoughts on the matter, though, I'd be happy if you let me know.
