Should SIS have uniforms or not?

So I attend Saipan International school, SIS is one of the few private schools in Saipan. If you know Saipan then it’s in As Lito, if you don’t even know where Saipan is in the map it’s located in the Pacific Ocean right beside Guam, Yeah we’re a very small island. I should start by telling you that the prompt today is “Should SIS have uniforms or not” My school is the only private school that does not require a school uniform, but everyone in school talks about whether we should have uniforms or not.

In Middle School I went to Hopwood Junior High and even though we were a public school we had to wear a uniform. It wasn’t even a uniform just a shirt representing the school. It was really lame and we even had to pay for the shirts! It was about $20 some I think. That was bad since it was a public school that a lot of students could not afford for the shirts and if we didn’t wear them we would get in trouble by serving  community service at school or something like that. One thing I like about SIS is that although it is a public school we don’t have uniforms, that was one of the upsides of me going to that school. I like the way the school is without the uniforms so, I don’t want any uniforms. Also if we wear uniforms then students don’t have any way of expressing themselves through clothing. I’m not saying that girls should wear short shorts or guys with inappropriate material on their shirts. There would be an upside to wearing uniforms though and that is we could show how we are proud to be schooling at Saipan International School. But it’s so nonsense how some people would say that wearing uniforms would unify students, I mean clothes don’t bring people together it’s the people themselves if they choose to get along with other students or not.

With that said uniforms wouldn’t change much except to show that we are proud to be part of our school. Also what if the material of the clothing is uncomfortable to wear it can be disturbing, or the fact that we would have to buy the uniforms because I’m sure the school wouldn’t be willing to buy every single student a uniform and it can’t be just one, it has to be five uniforms since we have five days in school, the school would gain if the students parents had to buy them but omg that would be such a big loss of money for the students parents since they have to buy the clothing and who knows the much it would cost.
