Originality or Comformity

Some uniforms even need to be dry- cleaned. Another consideration of uniforms is that they must be cleaned constantly. Clothing is a legitimate way for many people to express themselves as human beings. Students use clothing to express opinions, and students have a right to an opinion, don’t they? The charter of rights and freedoms states that, “ every person is entitled to the freedom of choice. If a student’s clothing is dictated to them, it halts their liberty of choice and expression. In the same way that originality is lost, part of our personal freedom is infringed, by making students wear uniforms.

Through the eyes of a teenager, expression of thoughts and ideas is one of the most important forms of communication, and uniforms would make this almost impossible. Also, today, no service comes without a charge. To maintain a consistent personal hygiene, uniforms would have to be cleaned at a constant rate. ” If students are forced to wear a uniform, and robbed of their “freedom of choice,” then several statements from the charter of rights and freedoms, would be made untrue. Thus cleaning the uniforms regularly would cost money. Remember, there is a limited amount of uniforms per student, so students can’t wear a different set (of uniforms) everyday.
