SCHOOL UNIFORMS_LOTTI VIDAL

Many people have strong views about the use of school uniforms. In my view there are arguments both for and against it.
On the one hand, uniforms stop other students judging them on how they look, as everybody will look more or less the same. Furthermore, it saves parents money as they don't have to buy new school uniforms every year and their children only need clothes for the weekends and holidays. Moreover, it means that children don't waste time having to think about what to wear to school.
On the other hand, even though some parents say that wearing uniforms is a way of saving money, other say that uniforms are not cheap, besides children are constantly growing up and need bigger sizes. A further argument against uniforms is that students at school need to learn to express themselves, and their wardrobe choices are one way of doing this. When every child is forced to dress just like all his class mates , he loses his freedom to choose how he wants to reperesent himself through his clothing.
In my opinion wearing a uniform is a good thing because no-one stands out and it looks smarter.
