“What is the genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?” this quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning shows the importance of being an individual, and being like no one, but yourself. It also can show why uniforms are a terrible thing. If students are forced to wear uniforms, they can’t express their personality, and individuality through the different clothes they wear. School uniforms are a repulsive idea because they prevent students from being individuals, they cost the school and kids money, and they cause lack of diversity in the schools.

First, wearing clothes that represent yourself expresses personality, but implementing uniforms would eradicate that all together. Many kids express who they are through the different styles of clothes and shoes they wear, but making them wear uniforms would take that away. The students wouldn’t be able to portray their personalities through the colorful and unique clothes they wear. Everyone would look the same and nobody would be able to express themselves through what they wear. To wrap this up, uniforms are a terrible idea, and they are also very costly!

Next, uniforms aren’t just taking away individuality; they cost a large amount of money, too! Not al kids can afford many things, and they ma not have money to waste on a school uniform. They need to spend their money on more important things. Schools also have budget problems, and some cant even afford textbooks. They definitely don’t need to be wasting their money on uniforms! All in all, uniforms are expensive, and they even cause lack of diversity in the schools as well.

Finally, diversity is a great thing and it should be treasured, not ripped away by students being forced to wear uniforms. There wasn’t always allowed to be diversity in public places. If you looked or dressed different, you weren’t allowed. So now that it is allowed, it should be valued. Making all of the dress the same takes away from the schools way of displaying cultures through the clothes that the kids wear. And not all kids’ cultures allow them to dress in certain types of clothing. In conclusion, diversity in schools should be taken in and appreciated not ripped away by implementing a school uniform policy.

All in all, uniforms are a treacherous idea because they don’t allow people to be individuals, they are very expensive, and they cause lack of diversity, and being different in schools. First, uniforms take away people’s right to be different and individual. Also, they are expensive for both schools, and students. Lastly, they rip away kids freedom of being different and having diversity in schools. In any event, school uniforms are a horrible idea and any school who implements a uniform policy really has psychotic administrators who are trying to make an army of students who don’t have the power to be themselves!
