...School Uniform School uniforms would produce a safe and structured learning environment for students. Which is the first requirement of a good school. Students that feel safe in their environment are more apt to learn and not worry about their appearance. School uniforms in public schools are becoming increasingly popular across the nation. The public school system would benefit greatly if this policy were to be enforced. Resistance is always a problem when trying to make changes. Taking all things into account, the positive effects would be far greater than the negative effects. School uniforms should be mandatory in public schools because their use would lead to higher education, less violence, and lower cost to parents. By requiring school uniforms in public schools, education will be improved and a dress code can enforce discipline towards learning. Uniforms improve a person’s outlook toward success as students generally act the way they are dressed. With fewer distractions, students see the school as a workplace for teaching and learning. Students also have less stress in their lives because they are not in a fashion show or competition. Dress codes also lead to a change in grades and part of the change is because it would be easier for students to focus on their academics when everyone is dressed the same. School uniforms would also decrease violence in public schools. There would be less peer pressure toward trying to fit in with the in-crowd and distractions...

...Ankitkumar Patel Professor: Tabinda Khan Subject: Developing Composition Skills II February, 17, 2015 School Uniform Should be Mandatory Wearing school uniforms is a norm in elementary and secondary schools in many countries. Uniforms are often regarded as an integral part of various educational institutions today. Although, it is a subject of debate whether wearing uniforms should be made compulsory or not. In my opinion uniform must be mandatory in school. It is a symbol of discipline, Unity and equality. Its basic element of primary school. I personally feel school uniforms are best way to cultivate feeling of unity at early age of life. As we all know kid’s mind are like a plain paper where first drop of ink makes deep impression. Student from different community, different background, and study together, if uniform made compulsory some student who belong from poor family, they cannot afford the cost feel and inferior. If all students wearing a neat and well-presented uniform reflects well on the school and presents a good image. It’s also thought that uniforms help teach children to be more accepting of others who are less fortunate. School is a place to learn and prepare yourself for college study, but I think it's hard for kids to focus on that goal when there are so many pressures and distractions to worry about like choosing cloths. That's why uniforms are so convenient because when you take some of those distractions and worries away, kids are able to focus on...

...School Uniforms Should be Mandatory Michele Rasmussen College Author Note This research is being submitted on March 4, 2015, for Rebecca Moore’s English G124 English Composition course. Students enrolled in public schools should be required to wear uniforms. For many years students have not liked wearing uniforms however, uniforms help create a disciplined atmosphere and therefore it should be implemented in schools that currently do not require uniforms. According to Happel, the addition of uniform to the regulations of public schools is viewed as a method for improving the overall school environment and student achievement (Happel, 2012). School districts should require students to wear uniforms because it will diminish the chance of humiliation, certain clothes can be distracting, and it teaches discipline and conformity. Wearing uniforms is a practical way to weaken the chance of humiliation in a school environment. According to Han, implementing a uniform policy contributes to improving students sense of belonging and developing student pride in their school (Han, 2010). While most private schools already have established a particular uniform to be worn within their schools at all times, and public schools remain liberal and only have a lesser dress code. Public schools tend to have a diverse student population from different cultural backgrounds and socioeconomic status. Some students and their families can afford to purchase fashionable and...

...Uniforms Should be Worn in Public School The issue of implemeting a school uniform policy has had it’s share of strong supporters and oppositioners Some parents and educators say that uniforms help students stay focused on academics instead of style, while others believe that kids should have a choice of what they wear to school. After reading several articles and considering both sides of the issue, I firmly believe that uniforms should be mandatory from elementary through high school. I believe this because they help reduce socioeconomic status, help ensure safety and attendance in schools.. Uniforms can help break down barriers of economic differences by not emphasizing name brand clothing. I believe it is unfair that rich kids get to come to school wearing designer clothes while the poor kids are identified as poor or loser because of the way they dress. If all schools adopt the uniform policy, students will be judged for who they are, not what they wear. A survey by the National Association of Elementary School Principals titled, National Survey of School Leaders Reveals 2013 Uniform Trends, point out that there is a steady growth of uniforms or formal dress code policies in schools. School leaders that were surveyed believe their current uniform or formal dress code policy made significant progress on peer pressure by 86 percent and bullying by 64 percent ( NAESP 2013). I feel that when students no longer have to compete to see who can wear the latest styles...

...Jarod Kintz once said, “Freedom is being you without anyone’s permission.” School uniforms should not be mandatory for young children. Kids in schools should have the freedom to choose their outfits. Permission from adults on what to wear. Having the freedom to choose will take a lot of pressure off the adults. Even though having school uniforms lives would be easier. Everyone would feel equal, and there would be less stress. School uniforms should not be allowed. School uniforms are not going to stop bullying, school uniforms are not going to stop judging, and school uniforms are going to be costly. Today, bullying is a main cause around schools. Bullying occurs everywhere. It does not matter what an individual is wearing, or who they are, bullying still occurs. “The judgment of the Lord are true and righteous altogether” (Lincoln 280).

...School Uniforms: Turning Our Kids Into Soulless Conformists In text one “School uniforms; pros and cons” (2012) Ann Svensen explains the pros and cons’ of school uniforms. She looks at the subject from different angels and involves and focuses on two main arguments. The first argument she elucidates is the affect that school uniforms have on reducing school crimes and increasing the student’s disciplinary excellence. As for this argument Svensen talks about an informal statistic that showed, that school crime had highly declined over the years in California’s Long Beach Unified School District, after the urban made a mandatory uniform policy. Secondly she writes about, how many experts believe that school uniforms is a negative thing, because it is a violation of the students rights and freedom to express them self. Furthermore, it takes away their individuality. Journalist Laura Clark argues that school uniforms improve pupils in text two “School uniforms improve pupils’ behaviour both in and out of school”(2007). In her article she includes quotes from different professors, who argues that school uniforms makes the students more well behaved both out of and in school. Her main arguments are that school uniforms prevents bullying based on social status and the children don’t have to be insecure or think about their clothing. Furthermore, she argues that it decreases crime since the students know that people outside school will be able to catch them based of their uniforms...

...have school boards change their dress code policy to a set uniform. I believe each year students dress more inappropriately to school, and do not follow their set dress code. With schools having set uniforms, bulling would decrease, and it is said that academics rise, violence reduces, it is a money saver for parents, and better prepares the student for the work force in the future. Also when a school has a uniform it helps the community look more appealing to those looking to buy a home there. Problem Statement Uniforms should be set in schools starting from kindergarten and go until the twelfth grade. Each year students break dress code, but it seems to be getting out of control. Students are dressing inappropriately for school and causing unnecessary attention to themselves, in the wrong way. This problem begins in the beginning of the school year and continues on until the end of the school year. With a set uniform it will not only affect the students, but it will affect the schools as well. Set uniforms will help the schools, because it will be one less worry the school has to think about. Uniforms will affect the students by preparing them for the future when you have a set uniform to wear to your job. Purpose The purpose of this proposal is to solve the issue of student’s not following dress code, and the student dressing inappropriately for school. With this being said, I would like to enforce uniforms to be worn by students from kindergarten until the twelfth...

...majority of all religious High Schools in Ontario have made it mandatory for students to wear a uniform. In my opinion, school uniforms should not be made mandatory for students in every high school in Ontario. This should not occur because the cost of uniforms can get expensive, it discourages students from displaying self-expression, and it could give school's bad reputations. First of all, uniforms should not be made mandatory in all high schools in Ontario since it does not allow for the student to express themselves. Students want to be given the freedom to be creative with their life, in school; they do this by their hair style and clothing. Students can put their own twist on their outfits, which make them unique, if they had to wear a uniform, everyone would look the same which leaves no room for originality. This also means that students cannot be prominent from one another. Students express their emotions and hobbies through the outfits that they wear which display many positive features about them whereas Uniforms will often display the more negative aspects of a person. Lastly, uniforms are uncomfortable. Students do not always feel comfortable in some clothes, but are given no choice because the uniform for a certain school will not change for them. Also, without a uniform, students can wear what they feel they are comfortable in as well as what makes them feel good about themselves, but uniforms restrict this to approximately two different options for shirts...

...Uniforms should/should not be banned in Schools Argumentative Essay Rabjot Kaur A01001363 English 1177 British Columbia Institute of Technology Uniforms should/should not be banned in Schools Nowadays, School Uniform is becoming a common trend but there have always been a never ending debate on whether uniform should or should or should not be banned in School. According to me, School uniforms may affect the student’s right to self express to a little extent but it helps students accomplish the main motive of going to school that is learning. Although requiring students to wear school uniforms may violate their self-expression in some ways, a uniform is supposed to be looked upon as a positive thing and should not be banned because uniform act as a Discipline maker, combine economic and social classes together as well as act as helps to eliminate bullying. To begin with, School uniforms play the role of Discipline makers as the students are required to dress formal and well put together. Schools that don’t require uniforms have such kids who do not care the...

...Professional Dress Code in the Workplace Rosaura P Bernal EN 306 – Nadia H Morales Park University The first impression is a lasting impression whether it is at the office, a party, a lunch date or an interview. What you wear to these events can be either a positive impression or a negative one. That is why I think it is very necessary to have a professional dress code in the workplace if your place of employment is that of a professional setting such as a bank or even an insurance company. If the professionalism does not show on what the employees are wearing, how are their customers going to accept that they are professionals at what they do. The business could lose the credibility of how they handle their business. Nowadays, offices are more lax with the trending fashions but do not realize that by letting their employees dress as they do now, they may be losing business. Managers should emphasize on the professional dress code so that the business will look more professional, they won’t lose customers or any business relationships they have with vendors and also so that they can avoid any type of controversy or altercations within the company. When new customers come into the place of business of a professional they expect to see the employees dress the part of that qualified, skilled employee who will be taking care of their business. Dressing professionally shows the level of sophistication that they hold and can affect the credibility of the business. I...

Dress code / uniform policy Terms of Reference Mr. Paul Chaves, the current Manager of SK Products and future local Manager of T-4 Telecom, asked to write a report on staff views about the possible introduction of Dress code policy.

As time change and with technology growing deterring crime does not rest only in the hands of public policing alone. Private policing is bridging the gap with public policing by assisting and deterring crimes via of prevention. Private policing comes in many forms to due to the advancement of technology when assisting the public police by hindering the act of crime.

Police officers encouraged these thoughts by using or speaking unethically when assisting private security with an arrest or investigating a crime. Over a period...

...Analysis of The Uniform Approach Works Schools standards have for a long time been declining and Elspeth Insch sees it as a vicious circle when a school has a bad reputation. In the article The uniform approach works by Mary Braid from The Summer times the 11th July, 2004. Elspeth Insch is showing three aspects, which could do a good part of improving the standards of the schools, but also to make the school self-govern and to improve the teaching and the teachers. Elspeth Insch is operating on a problem which Insch makes quite clear: declining of schools standards. Insch is a head herself so this problem is very relevant. She opens the article with this topic, followed by her own meaning of how to push up the standards by introducing the three aspects: school uniforms, competitive sports and a better house system, which she has used at her own school: King Edward VI Handsworth School in Birmingham, and has had positive effects on the students. Insch thinks that introducing uniforms would make every student equal and there would be no such thing as fashion competition. Insch believes that a uniform is a social leveller and a symbolic aspect, because it makes an air of business and high standards. * Then she is arguing for each aspect. * In the ending she shais that the real problem is a lack of good theachers, and she says that her suggestions is only cosmetic and the real problem lies in the teachers, and it is not enough that the goverment has improved teachers...
