SCHOOL UNIFORMS CONS :red_cross:
SAFETY
Considering school uniforms as an effective safety measure, could make the school overlook other security measures that could be much more effective
Intruders can find out what the uniform policy is and esalily blend in
SELF-EXPRESSION
School uniforms restrict students freedom of expression
School uniforms reduce individuality and promote conformity among students
Wearing a school uniform make students compare their self-image to the others more, suffering more for their self-appearance
SCHOOL UNITY
School uniforms don't help in reducing bullying and discrimination
EDUCATION
School uniforms do not improve attendance, school performance and exam results
University of Houston
Uniform use in public schools is rising, but we know little about how they affect students. Using a unique dataset from a large urban school district in the southwest United States, we assess how uniforms affect behavior, achievement and other outcomes. Each school in the district determines adoption independently, providing variation over schools and time. By including student and school fixed-effects we find evidence that uniform adoption improves attendance in secondary grades, while in elementary schools they generate large increases in teacher retention.
School uniforms are less comfortable than regular clothes, which doesn't help students in learning
Focusing on uniforms takes attention away from problems that are more important, like improving students performances and facilities
From "The Guardian"
More than 200 Bradford secondary school pupils were sent home from school this week. Their crime? Uniform infringements. They weren’t burning bras or tying their ties around their heads. They were wearing trainers or the wrong cut of trousers. But is it OK to deprive someone of a day of education just because they don’t look smart enough?
ECONOMY
Imposing uniforms in public schools means imposing a new expense to parents
Removing students from class because of an inability to afford a school uniform reinforces socioeconomic stereotypes.
Behind the push of shool uniforms there are commercial interests
