Opinion Essay-Students Should Wear Uniforms in School

<Students Should Wear Uniforms in School>

What is the outstanding feature of Korean middle and high school students?

Spending a whole day in school? or serious competition? These are internal aspect. When it comes to appearance, most of you might mention 'school uniform'. In Korea, almost every student from middle and high school student wears a uniform. Wearing a uniform is the rule of most schools.

However, it has been an argument for a long time. About it, students should wear uniforms in school, because there are many positive points.

First, wearing uniform can prevent students from feeling social disharmony.

Let's imagine the situation that you are a high school student wearing just normal brands of clothes between friends who are wearing really expensive clothes. Can you feel comfortable being there? Adolescence is the period when mob psychology works significantly. It means students strongly want to be similar or same with other classmates. In this context, if one student is not wearing good clothes as much as other classmates , it will be stressful and make him or her depressed.

Second is uniform can make students focus on their study or other productive things. Most adolescents start to be strongly interested in looking better on their appearance and outfit. If they can wear whatever they want, they will spend much time to find nicest and the latest style. To pick up clothes which can make them satisfied, they have to compare price and style, brand and so on a budget. It really takes much time. To do this, they can miss precious time which could allow them develop themselves and learn.

Some might say wearing uniform oppresses student's freedom of expression. Also they claim it blocks students from having creativity.

However, seriously do you really think that letting them wear whatever they want makes them more creative? Do they express their passion and creativity by fashion? I don't think so. Surely, it isn’t. Educational environment is more important. More special education system or financial support, special program is needed. Absolutely school exists for learning. School isn't a fashion show, students are not a model.

Like above, There are many benefits of wearing uniform.

First is It helps some students not to feel inferior.

Second is It makes students focus more on studying.

Third is actually, student’s freedom of expression and creativity are not oppressed by uniform. By using time productively, they can do more effective things. Thus, I insist students should wear a uniform in school.
