TOEFL essay: Do you agree or disagree with school uniform? #1 (permalink) Wed Jun 24, 2009 2:13 am   TOEFL essay: Do you agree or disagree with school uniform?
 

Do you agree or disagree with school uniform

School uniforms are like dress codes that are determined by the teaching institutions and students has to follow the designed code obediently everyday throughout the school year.
Many people believe that school uniforms should be applied in all schools as the first step of teaching discipline. Others disagree saying that forcing children to wear the same attire everyday will take away the joy of dressing up for school every morning. I believe that uniforms have various advantages for both the family and the child.
Firstly, a united school apparel can relief a financial stress of the backs of many families. As kids tend to compete and imitate each other, the race of following new trends in fashion or, providing different attire for every school day is considered a financial burden, not every family can afford it.
Secondly, a uniform creates a sense of equality between all pupils. Young kids tend to judge others according to their look and what they wear. Uniting their school attire will draw their attention to other criteria and, the only advantage of one student over another would be personality, academic achievement or being good at sports.
On the other hand, as repetition can lead to boredom, children can get frustrated of wearing same thing to school every day. Also, prevent their first steps of individuality by taking away their right to choose what to wear on their own free well.
In conclusion, I believe uniforms aren’t meant to suppress the creativity or freedom of children. It helps redirecting kids’ creativity towards more important things than outer look, and waive financial burden of their families.

Do you agree or disagree with school uniform

School uniforms are like dress codes that are determined by the teaching institutions(,) and students HAVE to follow the designed code obediently everyday throughout the school year.
Many people believe that school uniforms should be applied in all schools as the first step TO teaching discipline. Others disagree saying that forcing children to wear the same attire everyday will take away the joy of dressing up for school every morning. I believe that uniforms have various advantages for both the family and the child.

Firstly, a united school apparel can relieVE a financial stress of the backs of many families. As CHILDREN tend to compete and imitate each other, the race TO following new trends in fashion(,) or providing different attire for every school day(,) is considered a financial burden THAT not every family can afford it.

Secondly, a uniform creates a sense of equality between all pupils. Young CHILDREN tend to judge others according to their look and what they wear. BEING unitED IN their school attire will draw their attention to other criteria(,) and the only advantage of one student over another would be personality, academic achievement or being good at sports.
On the other hand, as repetition can lead to boredom, children can get frustrated BY wearing THE same thing to school every day. Also, prevent Their first steps of individuality ARE PREVENTED by THE taking away OF their right to choose what to wear OF their own free well.

In conclusion, I believe uniforms aren’t meant to suppress the creativity or freedom of children. It helps redirecting CHILDREN'S creativity towards more important things than OUTWARD APPEARANCES, and waiveS THE financial burdenS of their families.
