School Uniform Школьная форма
School uniform is an integral part of
school life in many countries. Most
schools in Russia also require school
uniforms. However, some school accept
freestyle outfit. There are different
opinions on how the standard school
forms should look like. Some schools have
dark blue uniforms, while others use dark
red or dark green colours. Some schools in
Russia accept white shirts and black skirts
for girls and black trousers for boys.
Nevertheless, all these school uniforms
have something in common. They all look
rather smart and strict. Children’s
opinions on school uniform differ. Some
say they like wearing it, while others
prefer to wear a pair of jeans and a T-
shirt. In my opinion, the school uniform
has both advantages and disadvantages.
First of all when children wear a school
uniform, they realize that they are at
school not at a swimming-pool or
stadium. It adjusts them to school
atmosphere and helps to study harder.
Secondly, school uniforms prevent social
inequality. It means that both rich and
poor children wear the same clothes.
Furthermore, children don’t have such
problem as what to wear in the morning.
The disadvantages of school uniform
include the loss of individuality. Everyone
becomes alike and children look similar.
The second problem may be untidiness.
As children wear the same clothes every
day their uniform starts to look a bit
untidy and faded. Last but not the least
school uniforms have become rather
expensive lately. So, not every parent
wants to buy it. As for me, I support the
idea of wearing a school uniform. I think
that at home we can put on what we want,
but at school we need to follow the rules.
