What's the point of school uniform?
校服真的有必要穿吗？
After a strict head teacher in the U.K. nt 80 students home for uniform violations (违例), T
he Guardian held a discussion about whether wearing school uniforms makes a difference.
My school uniform is very important. It does improve my concentration, becau it reminds me that I’m at school to learn. But I’m not sure if that’s becau I’m ud to wearing uniform and associate my own clothes with free time. ____1____ If everyone is wearing the same clothes, it’s impossible to make fun of other people’s clothing. I don’t think this ignores children’s need to express themlves.
David Hershman,
a student at Stafford Grammar School
车险报案____2____ Students should start school with no uniform. As they progress through school, they get to start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school, and a uniform is important for that. If they let the school down, they shouldn’t be allowed to wear it. Look at the Marines (海军陆战队员) — they can’t wait to get that beret (贝雷帽). In my experience, a uniform helps schools maintain authority.
Tim Francis, a former teacher
____3____I can definitely e the benefits of students wearing a uniform. A uniform can be important for creating a n of school identity and community (学校认同感和团体归属感). ____4____ However, a school should not rely heavily on uniform regulations to improve behavior. Teaching students how to express themlves with confidence, rather than the length of their tie, should be the priority.
Enayah Byramjee,
an educational development director
In a perfect world, school uniforms would not exist. Children would express their personalities through their clothes at school, just as they do at home. Schools would not impress on pupils the need to wear skirts to a certain length. We don’t live in a perfect world, however. ____5____ My hou is often filled with uniform-wearing girls. The best thing about uniforms, for me as a parent, is the simplicity.
Joanna Moorhead, a mother of four
