Topic: Should uniforms be made compulsory in schools?


My original opinion: No

Many students complain about their school making them wear uniforms every morning. They claim that school uniforms are inconvenient and nothing more than a mere pretense. However, after careful consideration, those students will learn that they have been futilely muttering against a rule that is in fact very beneficial and helpful.

Wearing uniforms definitely provide adequate school environment. Students, especially when they are in middle or high school, can be overly interested in appearances. Adolescents are indeed very sensitive to peers and they pay careful attention to how others look like. Such obsession toward appearances can make students not concentrate on their academics, but rather put tremendous effort on fashions even when they go to school. By making students wear uniform, school can prevent such problem because they would not think about what to wear before going to school. Plus, they would not compare what they wore with what others wore since uniforms are all the same.

  1. I get 1023 characters in Word, and some grammatical issues showing up over green lines. Not a big deal, but you have to be meticulous in these short exercises where quality is the focus of quantity. In terms of structure, I think you have to make your opinion clear in the first paragraph itself, and THEN move into the rational argument against in a single second paragraph - as outlined in class. Not bad, but do consider the prompt more closely.

    As for the content of your counter argument, very good. Need more of your true opinion however.
