TOEFL essay: Some high schools require all students to wear school uniforms

[marcheeba]

Would much appreciate anyones opinion...

Some high schools require all students to wear school uniforms. Other high schools permit students to decide what to wear to school.

In some countries all of the schools required their student to wear uniform. Nowadays each school authorities decide for themselves weather students are obliged to wear the uniform. When I was first grade student, it was still a Soviet Union regime in Russia and we all must have worn a uniform at schools. All the students looked pretty much the same, but my mother always tried to somehow decorate my uniform to make me look at least slightly different. On one hand wearing a uniform guarantees that students will be recognized by their academic abilities and personality only. On the other hand, clothing is an important part of the way each person expresses him/herself. I strongly believe that the way we are dressed reflects our personalities. If all students look the same, each student will definitely feel him/herself as just a part of the crowd, not as a unique individual. This may cause that each young person will be afraid to be different from others and will be afraid to express his or her talents. Each person is born unique and different from other people and I strongly believe that in spite of its obvious advantage, uniform kills individualism.

In my opinion, I strongly agree that some high schools require all students to wear school uniforms.As that creates own features for our school and people can distinguish us from other schools easily.The uniforms should be comfortable,good looking in order that we feel more confident,stronger when we wear them.It also makes unity and equality .Whoever we are or how our character are,we have to wear uniforms.If a few of us are emotional ,it can become unforgetable momemt because as soon as we enter the university,you are not worn them any more.In addition to, it marks a big turning point in our schooling time.Finally,I think all students are required to wear school uniforms such as in vietnam,we wear ''ao dai'' which is traditional clothes when we go to school and we are proud of being worn it

Hi, I have just read your both essays and I write an essay on this topic,too.
Can anyone read and check those essays for us?
The time in high school is one of the most unforgettable experiences to students. Among those memories, some are associated with the uniforms which are required to wear by many schools. Therefore, although other high schools permit students to decide what to wear, I think it is better for them to wear uniforms.
First of all, wearing school uniforms makes the school more beautiful and formal. In fact, when students gather together with the same clothes, the school will look very nice. In addition, uniforms are more suitable with the academic environment because students can feel serious when attending in a class. As a result, they may be attentive to studying.
Furthermore, security guards can keep control of who come to the school with the requirement of wearing uniforms. In that way, it is easy to recognize which is school of a student and it also expresses one’s pride of his school.
Finally, uniforms help students to save a lot of time and money. Since students do not need to think much about what they wear in every morning as well as make up themselves carefully, they are not properly late for school and they will have time to have breakfast or other meals. On the other hand, freedom in what to wear to school makes them have to buy a lot of clothes for school and it takes so much money. Moreover, with uniforms, each student will feel that he and all his friends at school are equal because they are in the same clothes especially poor students.
To sum up, I think the idea of wearing uniforms at school is good for students. Although many students consider it as a strict policy and often break that rule, thank to requirements like that, the school can control its members.
