No More Uniforms

I don’t think any schools in Aotearoa should have uniforms. Kids should have a choice in this and not be forced to wear uniform. I have several reasons why we should have no school uniform, they are: kids having some choice, making it easy for parents to find their children, plain uniform styles and children trying to find a senior.

Parents might have had to wear school uniform when they were a child but in this day and time we should have our own choice about whether we do or if we don’t wear uniform. Some families are poor and won’t have enough money to buy a uniform and also pay for food and their house.

If it’s break time and a parent wants to pick up their children it would be really hard to find them because everyone is wearing the same thing and their children could be anywhere.

Uniforms these days are out of style with only one colour. I would be happy even if you just add another colour. One colour can make a difference, even if it’s black.

Lastly, if a child gets hurt or gets picked on by their friends they won’t know where to look for to find a senior in the school. They could be looking everywhere with a hurt leg trying to find a senior in the same uniform as everyone else.

I think no schools in Aotearoa should have uniform and that’s that!.
