UNIFORM
Those pictures absolutely relate to my presentation. Every school has many rules made by the school, if the rules are not obeyed by the students, they will get punishments. School rules are made so that the students can be more disciplined. Some of the rules are, the students shouldn’t be late, no smoking in school, do not climb the school fence, do not damage the facilities of school, do not be absent, do not sleep at school time and so on. There is one rule that should also be obeyed, it is school uniform. Some people say that school uniform is beneficial but the other say that it is detrimental. In my opinion, the pro and contra about school uniform always happens for every school rule.
There are benefits and disadvantages of school uniform, but first i will explain to you about the benefits of school uniform. What does the benefits of school uniform? First, it makes students more disciplined people. If the students use wrong uniform, they will get a punishment. Disciplined students will wear uniforms properly, complete and neat, while the undisciplined students usually like to wear one uniform, untidily.
Second, the uniform is used for student’s identification. If for example, all students at one is school are allowed to use free clothes, the school will not know where the students are. If it is like that, people who are not enrolled in school could easily enter the school are. As a result of teaching and learning activities can not be done well because the classes are crowded by students who are not supposed to be there at school.
For example there is a school brawl with another school. We can know the school because we see the uniform they wear. So the police can catch them easily and know where the students study. On the right sleeve, there is a badge and on the left sleeve there is the name of school and usually 
it shows where the students study. Those are some benefits of uniform
And then there are some of disadvantages of uniform. First, it will show the differences of rich students and poor students. Everyday the rich students can change their clothes easily because have a lot of money to buy many clothes and i think they only think to compete. How about poor students? I think they envy absolutely they want to wear good clothes same with rich students. So, for the rich students, school is used for competition. What a pity poor students.
Second, the price of uniform is high. Usually, on the first day before school is started, there is a uniform cost which must be paid by students, of course it will burden the parents or guardians of students. If for rich students, it will not be a problem but what about poor students?
Third, usually the uniform is not comfortable us. Maybe the material, the color, or maybe the style. Some of girls student like calm color but the skirt is tacky color. How to solve it? The solve is the students have to wear it inevitably. The material does not absorb sweat. Whereas students have many activities in school and it makes students do not comfort, especially sports clothing that does not suck sweat. Actually for the female students who like to wear the clothes inappropriately. Maybe they will wear mini skirt or shorts and I think it would invite sexual harassment.
As the conclusion, the uniform really has many benefits for students. The main benefit is students can be disciplined people because discipline begins at an early age but the schools have to be smart to deal so that the uniform can be worn more comfortably and beautifully.
