Should School Uniform be Mandatory in all Schools?

The school uniform has proven to be an enormously complicated question in many countries. The subject often touches on deep-rooted philosophic principles.It is also of increasing concern to parents and students. School for most children is major experience outside the home. School clothing did not used to be a great issue. Parents chose it or school had a uniform. But in the modern age,children have become more concern with their clothes.

In schools today there is much emphasis on designer outfits. There is too much of having to keep-up with one another, putting parents in a horrible position of having to spend money on clothes and accessories that their children really don't need. this is why uniforms should be required in schools.

Students should allowed to wear the dress as they please,regarding the school dress code. if students are following the dress code,there is no need to have school uniforms. School uniforms can decrease a student's self-esteem. Letting them wear what they want gives them an opportunity to express themselves.

As per my opinion,school uniforms can reduce or stop bullying and discrimination on the basis of appearance. A poor child is always most likely to get bullied by rich children on the quality or colour of the dress of the poor child. Uniforms will stress that individuality and self-expression are not based on designer clothing or the latest fashion fad. Uniforms also readily identifies the children who belong to school and not. So school uniform should be mandatory in all schools.

Even though I am adamantly arguing for school uniform,I know that this argument or the discussion is the concern of the privileged who can afford school uniforms. I am aware that millions of underprivileged children - they do not have even a piece of cloth to cover their body. I express my sincere solidarity towards them.
