YES
    School uniforms are often not very comfortable or practical. In public schools, for example, girls often have to wear dresses or skirts, when they might feel more comfortable in trousers, and boys often have to wear button-up shirts and ties, which can also be uncomfortable for active children. In private schools, uniforms are often even more impractical and uncomfortable, with blazers or even tailcoats for the children to wear. If a school has a uniform, parents are expected to buy it, and then buy a new one every time their child outgrows the last. This can be expensive.
NO
    Without uniforms there are clear indicators of wealth between what children wear. This makes poorer children stand out, (or even possibly the reverse). Children can then be bullied for being different, which diminishes a child’s enjoyment of school. A study in China has shown that 84% of parents think uniforms promote equality and help teach children to be more accepting of others who are less fortunate. This perception among parents will help create the same perception among their children. This is also likely to translate to the teachers who will therefore treat their pupils more equally.

答案     School Uniforms—Unnecessary and Impractical
    Recently, some schools have gotten rid of school uniforms. The practice has aroused discussion among the public. Some people think that school uniforms are not comfortable and practical and even too expensive for parents. Others argue that school uniforms help diminish the gap between the wealth and the poor and promote equality among children. In my opinion, it is a good idea to ban the mandatory school-uniform policy.
    First, school uniforms limit personal expression. Kids and teens use the way they dress to express themselves and to identify with certain social groups. Many students who are against school uniforms argue that they lose their self-identity when they lose their right to express themselves through fashion. Furthermore, some schools uniforms are slack and loose without any aesthetic value and they have no help in cultivating good manners and temperament. Second, no uniforms can suit all children who are very specific about what they are comfortable wearing. Some kids are sensitive about certain materials while others are opposed to buttons, zippers and restrictive clothing. Some children are also uncomfortable wearing certain styles of clothing. Many girls, for example, do not like to wear skirts or dresses, while most girls’ uniforms require.
    In conclusion, it is not necessary to require all students to wear uniforms.
