Question

Some people think that the debate (辯論) about school uniforms is just about whether students look cool. In fact, this problem is connected with other topics, such as student performance (表現(xiàn)), money, and personal choice. The school uniform debate is very important to parents, teachers, and school officials—and to students, too! Many students argue (爭論) that school uniforms would save their parents' money. According to Nahla, an eighth-grader, "Kids whose families don't have a lot of money wouldn't be teased for their unfashionable clothes." Besides, some students think that uniforms would help them give much attention to learning. "I think it's a great idea.

Wearing uniforms would teach students that schoolwork is more important than looking good," argues tenth-grader, Heba. Others believe that school uniforms would help students study better. In the words of a twelfth-grader named Aziza, "If all students have to wear the same uniform, they will try to impress others with their schoolwork and grades, not their clothes." Some students are against school uniforms. They argue that uniforms would cost their parents more money. "Uniforms are expensive and can only be worn at school. My parents would still have to buy me other clothes to wear on weekends and after school," explains ninth-grader, Sherine. According to a twelfth-grader named Susan, "School uniforms don't allow personal choice." She feels that uniforms don't allow students to be creative or express their own decisions about what to wear. Finally, many students like eleventh grader Reema say that uniforms are uncomfortable. "Students like to wear comfortable clothes," she says.

In a word, there are strong arguments on both sides of the school uniform debate. Whateverthe result is, one thing is important: before making a decision about whether to require uniforms, school officials must consider the opinions of everyone—especially the students.
