Should SIS have uniforms or not?

Saipan International School is the only private high school that doesn't force students to wear a uniform to school everyday. This is what brings the individuality in this great school. At other schools, the students are like prisoners going to school because they have to wear a uniform to school. If they don't wear their uniforms they'll get in trouble. SIS is also the only private high school that doesn't require their students to learn about the Bible. That is probably the main reason why other school are required to wear a uniform to school. So, should SIS require their students to wear uniforms? My answer is a definite no.

The main reason why I am against SIS requiring their students to wear uniforms to school is that it prohibits the students way of expressing themselves. Many people wear what they like to show how they are like. There are many students who take hours just to figure out what they're going to wear to school every single day. They want to look good to make a statement towards other students. If the students were required to wear uniforms, those students wouldn't be able to express themselves in the way that they want to. Only if they go out with friends they will have that same chance, but not every student goes out all the time. Therefore SIS shouldn't allow their students to wear uniforms because they are actually hurting some of their students. Yes ofcourse it becomes easier for some people because they would already know what they are going to wear to the school, but its just boring. Seeing people wearing the same thing as you for the whole school year isn't fun at all. Especially on picture day. On picture day, that is when everyone dresses up to look their best. But if the school forces the students to wear uniforms, the students won't have a choice to want to express themselves in the school picture.


If SIS required their students to wear uniforms, they will be just like all the other schools. That's not a good thing. SIS should be different from the other schools to show that they stand up for themselves. We don't want to be like other schools, we want other schools to want to be like us. We want to be at the top of other schools and that's why we shouldn't have uniforms. If we have uniforms, it will just be like the other schools and there will be no school standing up for themselves. Another reason for not having uniforms is that there is no use for them. Why uniforms? Uniforms don't do anything but limit the students from expressing themselves. It doesn't enhance learning abilities. It doesn't make any students smarter. It just limits students from wearing what they want to wear to school.


SIS should never allow their students to wear uniforms because it is an international school. INTERNATIONAL. Students come here from around the world and they should wear what their culture is. Bring in the different types of fashions and influence other students to dress like others. Personally I feel like I started to dress differently because I have seen many people dress up at our school.
