You wake up, mind fuzzy. You scramble out of bed, almost falling over as you do so. You hobble to your drawer, slowly opening it. Your heartbeat quickens and you start to panic, your uniform is nowhere to be seen. You stressfully search your room, looking under the bed and behind your door but still no uniform. You ask your mum if she knows where it lies, but she does not know either. You sit down on your bed and think to yourself, if you didn't have to have wear uniform all of this stress would have been avoided, you could have just grabbed a random pair of clothes and been ready to go off to school but no, yet again the hassle of school uniform has made you stressed and on-edge on what started off on a decent note. This is what many children go through when they go to get ready for school, it is a major hassle and does not make us in the mood to do any learning at school. I believe that if children got to wear whatever they felt comfortable in (so long as it wasn't too OTT) it would make things a lot easier and make us more comfortable so we can learn better. So, I believe that children should be able to wear normal clothes instead of school uniform because of the following reasons:
Costs
Parents spend lots of money each year on school uniform for their kids that they could spend on something else like food or water instead of on school uniform that the child will just grow out of pretty quick. Most full sets of school uniform cost around $150 including hat and jumper. That’s a lot of money that could be spent on other things that are more important.
Comfort
When you are comfortable you tend to be more calm about things, so if you were wearing something that you were really comfortable in during school then your mind would be clear and you would be able to work a lot better. So wearing something comfortable would actually increase your learning capacity because you would have a clearer mind to learn.
Accessibility
In the morning when you wake up and go to get changed it is a lot easier to just grab any pair of clothes to wear than spend ages looking for a wearable school uniform. Sometimes you can’t even find a wearable school uniform because the only ones you have are either in the wash or lost, and it makes some people really agitated. Being able to just put on any clothes let’s you get to school faster with hardly any effort.
Conclusion
Basically, children should not have to wear school uniform because it is:
Cheaper for the parents
Better for learning because of comfort
And easier to access making it faster to get to school
So based on these reasons I conclude that children should not have to wear school uniform.
