Should (Singapore) students wear school uniforms to school?

Question

What are the possible advantages and disadvantages?

Answer 1

All students everywhere should wear uniforms. (not expensive ones, necessarily, but uniforms)

We wore them, and after seeing what goes on in our public schools without them, I think they would help calm things down. (no spaghetti straps, no slouchy pants, etc)

Answer 2

I am all for it. Having lived in two countries where school children have to wear uniforms, I know of at least three advantages:
= All kids look the same, so there is no obvious difference between rich and poor.
= Since uniforms are made in large quantities and are sold centrally, often by the schools themselves, the price can be kept low and reasonable.
= If different colors are used for different school levels it is easy to tell them apart.

So ... Singapore, go for it!

Answer 3

Yes, it provides the necessary identity to recognise which school is the student from. The only disadvantage is that the moment they misbehave, public can complain directly to the school prinicipal.

Answer 4

yes. definetly. well childhood is the time when u can teach kide what u want to and as we all know that deciplin and unity are the most impo, things in the life so this should be made compulsory.

Answer 5
