*The house should
ban school uniforms. There are no justifiable reasons for schools to force
students to wear uniforms.
1.
It
is expensive!
-The average of the school uniforms is about
$250 per one pair around the world. The total range would be about $200~$1000.
How can everyone support this? Isn’t this too much of a financial burden for
middle/lower class parents? They would even have to buy more and more whenever
their children grow.
-Even if there is a financial aid from the
government, they still have to pay. The line between whom to support and whom
not to, is not certain. Even those who are not as poor to get financial aid
might feel it too expensive.
-We still need other clothes even if we
already have school uniform to wear. Uniforms are just for school. It’s not
like we’re going to wear school uniforms 24/7. School normally ends at 3~4 p.m.
Parents would have to pay for both school uniforms and other clothes whereas
they would have had to pay only for normal clothes if there were no school
uniforms.
2.
Individuality/ creativity should be encouraged
-Article 19 of The Universal Declaration of
Human Rights states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and
expression.” Schools are keeping children from developing their own creativity
and expressing their individuality by making them wear the same clothes.
-There are other programs for creativity?
They are unnecessary if the schools are not allowing children to express their creativity
from the most basic thing like what to wear. Clothes are the fundamental ways
of showing themselves.
3.
(Counter-argument) Sense of equality
-If there is no school uniform, poor kids
would tend to wear cheaper clothes and that can be a reason for being bullied.
à
Is conformity the only way of preventing bullies? Schools should try to teach
children that everyone is different. That’s what education is. Making everyone
look the same is only a short term solution; there are other factors of
bullying, too. Learning conformity at school is what makes children turn
discriminative towards people who are only a little bit different from them.
They should try to teach the difference between people and how they all should
be respected. That is what the education is, in long term. If school uniforms
are important in a way of conformity, the enforcement for wearing them cannot
be justified.

Hello Miss Park,
답글삭제I notice you've changed you've redecorated your blog. Despite the absence of upbeat pop music and cheerful colors, I like this modernist look of cleanliness and order.
Furthermore, I am very impressed with the flourish of posts you've published which reflect the solid ground work you are undertaking to write an intriguing essay. This is a good topic, and you will be able to use "I" quite effectively in illustrating your opinion.
It seems you've done some reading and know what's what, so I think the next thing you should do is harvest the quotes you want to use. With this essay, you have a golden opportunity to deliver a nice hook in the first paragraph. How you do that is up to you, and you already have a bit of one in Step One, but I think you can do better by illustrating and/or contrasting two different classrooms.
In my opinion, the school uniform is great. I wish I'd had the opportunity to wear one, and when I look at highschools in the US and Canada compared to this one, I see a lot less ego and vanity, and a deeper sense of purpose and equality. There are two things, I believe, students should put off until they reach university: dating and fashion.
Nice work so far.
