NMA’S CORNER!
Uniforms are worn by a great number of school children world while.
People actually have strong opinions about school uniforms.
What do you think about your uniform?
“Jeez, my uniform disfigures me”. Daniella said.
“This” pointing at her uniform “is beautiful, I love my uniform”
“My uniform is like horizontal line on me” Muna said.
“Mine is like billboard” I said
I asked some of my classmates what they thought about students and pupils wearing uniform.
“What do you think about students and pupils wearing uniform?”
“I think its maladministration; we are not to be wearing this shapeless uniform….”
“And if we should wear uniform, it should have some small shape”
In my own opinion, people who like it say it is good for everyone to look the same, in this way, children of the rich won’t show off to children of the poor.
I think, that kind of thinking is old fashioned.
Making people look the same when they actually are not.
Children should learn to take responsibilities from infant stage. They should be given opportunity of decision making. They should be taught to make their own decisions about clothes and anything else, because they will have to do it when they are adults.
Uniform also encourages one to be lazy about clothes, you just put on the same clothes day after day, and never stop to think whether you look nice or not.
Most uniforms make the wearer look dreadful, because it is impossible to make uniforms of different school children with different ages and sizes.
