Are school uniforms helpful and essential in learning institutions? This question has been debated severally, leaving people of different communities and societies with several suspicions and has left them unsatisfied with the question since they have never got a satisfactory answer. Though uniforms are considered unique objects to identify students of a particular school, it reads to a question that asks; should uniforms be mandated in school? This question has raised various questions as to why uniforms should be considered for school uniforms. In this paper, I will write an argumentative essay on why school uniforms are essential to school students.

To mandate school uniforms in learning institutions, he has to know the roles that school uniforms play to students and the school. School uniforms have many benefits to students and also marketing the learning institution. When one is mandating school uniforms, he should monitor both the positive sides of the school uniform. A negative side of mandating the school uniform is limiting what students want to wear while in school. (Jones, 2017)

Despite the school uniform limiting student's freedom, the uniforms help express uniformity to the students in school and identifying students to a particular school. This facilitates creativity, and it does not lead to diversification to some of the students in school. Though some there students are not the same in the ways of thinking and ideology, the uniform will help in ensuring that all students feel the same and they will be able to be successful in their studies.

Though uniforms are the same for all the students, there might be opposing challenges such as theft that school uniforms might accompany. This is a demerit to the students since they share the same material. On the other side, this encourages students to be responsible since the students have to be accountable for their uniforms while they are in school. On the other side, uniforms might keep all the students in a comfort zone, and it might make the students not work hard since they all know they are equal, forgetting about their financial background. On the other side, uniforms make students more co-operative since they are all equal and are provided with an environment that is the same for everyone. This might make the students in the learning institution perform equally.

School uniform categorizes students the same; it indicates that there are uniformity and unity between the students. This creates a good atmosphere and a severe condition where students can learn comfortably, adhering to all rules and regulations of the institution. In schools, school uniforms also reduce the rate of violence and aggression that are seen in school. This helps in reducing social crimes that are likely to happen in the school compound.

In learning institutions, students might not appreciate their school uniforms, and they might have difficulties while they are studying in school. This might make the students always think about their school uniforms; thus, they are not likely to perform very well since they do not appreciate their school uniforms. This might create a negative image of the school to the students, and the students can get a hard time trying to read. This might make the students lag in terms of performance. (Mahlangu, 2017)

School uniforms help in facilitating standardization between students in school. This will enhance improvement between the students, and they will be able to change their behavioral patterns. School uniforms have a chance of boosting the students' performance positively and can help in resolving disputes within the school and its environment.

When we have a closer view of the school uniforms, they are less cheap and affordable than fashion clothes in the market. When we look at the convenience between uniforms and fashion clothes, uniforms are more convenient since they are easy to wash and are likely to dry faster when they are compared to fashion clothes. Based on high positivity on the school uniforms, they should be mandated in learning institutions.

Confutations of school uniform

When learning institutions are designing their school uniforms, they never focus on society's culture where the students originate from. This becomes a significant source of discomfort to the students giving a hard time when learning since they never appreciate the uniforms they are using. Later it ends up challenging the students negatively since they do not appreciate the school uniforms they are wearing, and it is likely to promote cultural intolerance to school.

If a student goes to school for about five or six days a week, he/she should have several pairs of school uniforms to ensure the student is tidy and learn while he is in school. Sometimes another student might decide to steal another student's uniform. This might harden the life of a student while he is in school. This might force the student's parents to buy several pairs to have a good time studying in school. School uniforms might add additional costs to the students in school.

Students hate the school uniforms design, and they always feel uncomfortable while they are wearing school uniforms. This makes them have a hard time while they are in school. The students' negative thoughts will keep hitting their minds; thus, they will perform poorly in school. School uniform design matters a lot to the students who are using the uniforms.

Solutions to confutations.

When learning institutions are designing their uniform, they should consider the students' culture who will be coming to the school. If the school can consider the students' culture, they will likely study well since they will not have conflicts with their uniforms. (Reisner, 2014)

To solve the problems of using a higher amount of funds by the student in purchasing several uniforms, the school can decide to design the uniform and sell it at a lower price. This will allow the students to have multiple school uniforms, reducing threats such as theft while they are in school. The problems associated with uncomfortable school uniforms can be solved by allowing students to make their designs on school uniforms so far as the uniforms' colors resemble one another.

Conclusion

The ministry of education should pass the decision of mandating school uniforms though it should not be tight on the design that a particular school should use. This will make the students accept the uniform of the learning institution. The management team should always ensure that students appreciate the uniform that they use. If the students manage to enjoy the school uniform's design, they will be able to study comfortably, affecting their performance positively.
