All children should have to wear a school uniform.

In this essay I will be explaining why children should and shouldn’t wear a uniform to school.

One reason is that it represents your school. If you do a good thing or if you respect, someone they’ll know that your school is a good school and more students go there. For example, you see a child lost and you help him/her. His/her parents see your uniform and send them to your school because they know that you’re a good school. More people will recognise your school and will respect you for your school if they know which school you’re from.

My other reason is that people know which school you go to. If you have a friend and you want to go to the same school they’re going, you can look at their uniform and tell your parents. For example, person A wants to go to person B’s school but they don’t know which school they’re at. Person A looks at the uniform and tells his/her parents.

These next paragraphs will explain why I think children shouldn’t wear school uniforms.

My first reason is that it might be expensive. From what I know, the Selwyn colleges full uniform for boys (including winter and P.E), it costs over $600. For example you want to go to a school you like but the uniform costs too much money and you have to go to a cheaper school. It is not worth paying a lot of money just to buy a school uniform.

My final reason is that there are too many things to wash. If you buy a lot of uniforms, it will take too much time and money to wash. For example, all of your uniforms are dirty and you take a lot of time washing each pair and waste a lot of water and a lot of time drying.

This concludes my essay. I think that children should wear school uniforms because it represents the school and more people go to school if it’s good.
