"Personal liberty is the paramount essential to human dignity and human happiness." (Bulwer) Their has been an ongoing debate on if their should be uniforms in school. Many people (parents) are saying yes and many people (children) are saying no. Their shouldn't be any uniforms in school. There are many reasons why their shouldn't be uniforms and here are some. Uniforms deny self-expression which is a very big deal for all children. They have no style that relates to the self expression. Also, the uniforms are very uncomfortable and made out of fake fabric.
Self-expression is a very big thing and always will be. People these days take it very seriously and if you insult someones clothes they will get all mad and probably smack someone. Self-expression is like writing your own name, everybody knows it's yours. Uniforms are not something you choose to wear, you have to wear them by force. Well, uniforms can be made to please everybody's taste and style. You obviously can't wear sneakers and there will be no vibrant colors that make clothes pop. Persay my style was neon green with black, no one would allow that to be the colors and you can't take everyone's styles and put them together. This is a problem that children cannot live without.
Having uncomfortable clothes literally ruins my day. If their itchy it's even worse for me because they make me mad and angry and ruin other peoples days too because I lash out on them. Also the uniforms can be rough from cheap or fake materials used in them. Having to keep moving the uniform to not get a rash can distract a student from learning and doing work. This could also affect their overall grades at the end of a year and some can just make your day and some can just ruin it. If the uniforms are made out of cotton it would be okay but a wild guess out of the blue would probably say no. Cheap materials will actually make the uniform give rashes to students and that will allow people to sue the school. The school is not allowed to use cheap materials only ones that satisfy. But, the last time I checked schools were on low budgets. This problem will impact the most.
STYLE. It's a very big thing once you come to middle school. Everyone judges you on your clothes. You have to keep up to date on the new style or you will be laughed at a lot. If uniforms become a part of our school, style will not be a part of our teen society. At least in our schools. All schools use special companies that make the uniforms for them. In those companies, almost 90% of the workers are old people which we all know have no apparent style. They use these dull ugly world war one colors that rather than cheer you up make you gloom and sad. Also, if the colors are going to involve black, which they probably are, will make us even hotter on warm and sunny days. Some old stylists have style and taste from this era. Yes I agree but we can't afford them. This problem will make the school spirit lessen by a lot.
Uniforms are a very uneeded piece of school. They can be very uncomfortable and very itchy. They can also have no style because old people make them. Last but not least they deny self-expression which is super important. I hope this persuades you to get you into a state of action about this situation and finally end this democracy!

Emil excellent blog post. This is the perfect length too. I liked all your reasons. They really supported your thesis why you don't think kids should have to wear school uniforms. I also like how you but comedy in this. For example when you said old people make the uniforms and they have no sense of style. I agree with this, and I also laughed a little when I read this. So, once again good post.
