In XIX century Russian gymnasiums boys wore peaked caps and strict uniforms . We also had a special schoolgirls wear . In Soviet times, wear a uniform was mandatory . Now every school has the right to decide whether to wear a form disciples - and how . But in any case , the decision was based is goodwill administration and parents. Criteria for selection of uniforms from each school , of course, different, but the severity or moderation in relation to makeup and jewelry everywhere. Gold jewelry, loose hair , deep necklines, short skirts, bright makeup , painted nails , extravagant shoes - all the attributes of an adult , not a teenager.So what are the pros and cons of school uniforms ? I'll start with the cons . Imposing forms prejudice pride, restricts the rights and prevents reveal personality , because clothes for school is one of the ways to express themselves . They just want to wear what they feel comfortable , and that underlines their personality, making them important in the eyes of their peers. For parents, the introduction of forms associated with additional costs.Pros simple, and so obvious. Single uniform instills a spirit of unity and fosters a sense of belonging to the school and pride in it. School uniforms commits to certain behaviors and improves discipline. Improved discipline in the classroom and, consequently , increase the level of attention of students promotes better assimilation of the subject. Introduction form stops competition in clothing of children, which can lead to complex " second-class person " adversely affect the results of studies and leave an imprint in the soul of a child for life . If form to be treated as a necessity, no belittling of pride and individuality will not happen. Suffice it to recall the flight attendants , waiters, police, railway workers , office workers. In my opinion, not the clothes make the man , and his mind , knowledge and personal qualities .
