School uniforms have evolved from first being implemented only in private schools to starting to become more common in public schools, specifically elementary schools. Uniforms originated in England and were first introduced in the 16th century but England’s public schools began enforcing uniforms in the 19th century. Looking at uniforms today, they are widely being distributed throughout the public schooling system.
The debate on school uniforms has been a hot topic in recent years. As more policies are being introduced for schools to enforce uniforms, more parents and students started to develop varying opinions on the effects of them and if they are really beneficial.
School uniforms are purposefully implemented for students to look for an improvement in grades, attendance and behavior but whether or not studies that have been conducted really portray these types of results still remain unknown. But this study conducted by Ryan Yeung, Assistant Professor at Sony, State University of New York at Brockport-Brockport, shows that there are not proven statistics of the benefits or positive effects that school uniforms are having on the students that are expected to wear them.
But despite the reason that school uniforms are implemented, the effect they have socially and economically are also important. So this is where the controversy begins as to why students are being encouraged to wear school uniforms if an improvement in academia is not a result of them. If there aren't benefits from wearing school uniforms then the problem of wasting money on the them and focusing on implementing them introduces the problem that is associated with uniforms.
This site will present three various viewpoints on this issue. These viewpoints will offer a better insight on the problem and the different angles that come along with it.
