    Writing activity: essay

    Prompt:
    Imagine you attend school in the U.K, where school uniforms are customary. A growing number
    of students have challenged this tradition, questioned its purpose, and argued for more freedoms
    to wear what they want. Articulate your position on this matter in an essay that could be
    published in the school paper.

    “I don’t believe we were put here with all of our differences to conform to a uniform state of
    mind” - Sonya Teclai. Uniforms are very common among schools, and it does not improve
    student’s behavior. Uniforms include another cost additionally to the school pension and more
    relevant students are unable of expressing themselves. In general uniforms affect students’
    development through high school years.

    The usage of uniforms does not infer in the behavior of students, their behavior is based in home
    education and phycological health. According to Arya Ansari (2010) “Evidence does not show
    uniforms provide any substantial benefit for young students’ behavior.” This means that students
    that wear uniform have the same percentage of well behaving than students who are allowed to
    wear personal clothing. The way of each student social behavior does not depend on the uniform,
    it depends on how well they feel with their surroundings.

    Since paying high school is a really high cost an additional cost for uniform is not cost-effective.
    There exist reports that demonstrates that more of the 35% of parents get into debts for the cost
    of uniforms, and sincerely students do not take care of this clothing either. In addition, uniforms
    have become a business for schools given that they produce them and there are no other places to
    find it, and getting to school without one means note for misconduct in students, so they gain
    pension, uniforms, and extra payments along the scholar year.

    Wearing a uniform forces students to limit their style and express their individuality. A study
    done by Arya Ansari in 2011 found that students who are forced to wear a uniform lose their
    sense of belonging in a place and even more so within the institution. Also, schools assume that
    if everyone looks similar there isn’t going to be differences, but they exist, since how many years
    does the uniform has to how well it fits in several students. On the other hand, the uniform makes
    students put much less effort in their physical appearance since there is no motivation and that
    puts them at risk of insecurity that can go a long way.

    As I mentioned the students are affected throughout these years because the uniform is
    something created to give an image of a school and generate some kind of status among others,
    what they do not realize is that the use of the same affects the development of students inside
    these schools. Since they can feel different and insecure because of their appearance or their way
    of being, generate conflicts because of the economic problems of their parents and even more
    that their behavior is totally opposite to the expected by the institutions. Taking all of the above
    into account, the use of uniforms should focus on the well-being of the students who wear them
    in order to generate a positive impact and an agreement with the students.
