School Uniforms Policy

School uniforms are uniforms worn by parents primarily for a school or otherwise educational
institution. In Indonesia, school uniforms tell many things such as students' grade level and school or
institution. In elementary school level for instance, students are asked to wear ‘red-white’ uniforms;
while junior high school students are asked to wear 'blue-white' uniforms; and for senior high school,
students are asked to wear 'blue sky-white' uniforms. Except those formal-uniforms, there are others
such as scout uniforms and school or institutional uniforms. School uniforms become a debate issue
among parents nowadays. Some of them think that school uniforms are necessary, while others think
that they are not.

Some parents believe that school uniforms will make such good advantages to their children while
learning at school. First, school uniforms can keep students focused on their education, not their
clothes. Students will not concern on clothes color, clothes style, or clothes brand, if they wear same
school uniforms. Second, school uniforms may improve attendance and discipline. A 2010 study by
researchers at the University of Houston found that the average absence rate for girls in middle and high
school decreased by 7% after the introduction of uniforms. It is because school uniforms make getting
ready for school easier, which can improve punctuality. When uniforms are mandatory, parents and
students do not spend time choosing appropriate outfits for the school day. The last, school uniforms
are a symbol that every student is equal in getting same education. School uniforms will not differentiate
whether the students are rich or not and students’ economic or social class.

In other hand, school uniforms can affect negatively on students psychology and performance in
learning at school. First, school uniforms restrict students' freedom of expression. Students cannot
express themselves through clothes they wear. Second, uniforms also may have a detrimental effect on
students' self-image. When students have to wear the same outfits, rather than being allowed to select
clothes that suit their body types, they can suffer embarrassment at school. A 2003 study by researchers
at Arizona State University found that "students from schools without uniforms reported higher self-
perception scores than students from schools with uniform policies." Third, some students also find
uniforms less comfortable than their regular clothes, which may not be conducive to learning. The last,
school uniforms in public schools undermine the promise of a free education by imposing an extra
expense on families. Parents already pay taxes, and they still need to buy regular clothes for their
children to wear when they are out of school and for dress-down days.
In conclusion, school uniforms remain important of the students’ forsakes. Students will be discipline
and will focus more on learning. School uniforms also will show them that they are equal in learning.
However, to cover all disadvantages of school uniforms such as restriction of students’ freedom of
expression, students’ self-image, students’ comfort, and school uniforms’ extra expense, there are
several recommendations that need to be considered. First, allow the students to wear or use some
accessories as long as they are not break the regulation. Accessories usage can free their expression,
self-image, and promote their comfort in learning. Second, use two kinds of school uniforms only; the
formal school uniforms and scout uniforms. It is because extra school or institutional uniforms will
require extra money from parents.

Terjemahan:

Kebijakan Seragam Sekolah

Seragam sekolah adalah seragam yang dikenakan oleh siswa terutama untuk sekolah atau lembaga
pendidikan. Di Indonesia, seragam sekolah memberitahu banyak hal seperti tingkat dan sekolah atau
lembaga siswa. Dalam tingkat sekolah dasar misalnya, siswa diminta untuk memakai seragam 'merah-
putih'; sementara siswa SMP diminta untuk mengenakan seragam 'biru-putih'; dan untuk SMA, siswa
diminta untuk memakai 'biru langit-putih' seragam. Selain seragam formal tersebut, ada jenis seragam
lainnya seperti seragam pramuka dan seragam sekolah atau institusi. Seragam sekolah menjadi isu
perdebatan di kalangan orang tua saat ini. Beberapa dari mereka berpikir bahwa seragam sekolah itu
diperlukan, sementara yang lain berpikir bahwa seragam sekolah itu tidak perlu.

Beberapa orang tua percaya bahwa seragam sekolah akan memberikan beberapa kelebihan untuk anak-
anak mereka ketika belajar di sekolah. Pertama, seragam sekolah dapat membuat siswa fokus pada
pendidikan mereka, tidak pada pakaian mereka. Siswa tidak akan memikirkan warna pakaianya, gaya
pakaiannya, atau merek pakaian, jika mereka mengenakan seragam sekolah yang sama. Kedua, seragam
sekolah dapat meningkatkan tingkat kehadiran dan kedisiplinan. Sebuah studi 2010 oleh para peneliti di
University of Houston menemukan bahwa tingkat ketidakhadiran rata-rata untuk anak perempuan di
sekolah menengah dan tinggi mengalami penurunan sebesar 7% setelah mengenakan seragam. Hal ini
karena seragam sekolah membuat bersiap-siap untuk sekolah lebih mudah, yang mana dapat
meningkatkan ketepatan waktu. Ketika seragam sekolah itu wajib, orang tua dan siswa juga tidak
menghabiskan waktu untuk memilih pakaian yang tepat untuk pergi ke sekolah. Terakhir, seragam
sekolah adalah simbol bahwa setiap siswa adalah setara dalam mendapatkan pendidikan yang sama.
Seragam sekolah tidak akan membedakan apakah siswa itu kaya atau tidak dan kelas ekonomi atau kelas
sosial siswa.

Di sisi lain, seragam sekolah dapat berpengaruh negatif pada psikologi dan tindakan siswa dalam belajar
di sekolah. Pertama, seragam sekolah membatasi kebebasan siswa untuk berekspresi. Siswa tidak dapat
mengekspresikan diri melalui pakaian yang mereka kenakan. Kedua, seragam juga mungkin memiliki
efek yang merugikan pada citra diri siswa. Ketika siswa harus memakai pakaian yang sama, bukannya
diperbolehkan untuk memilih pakaian yang sesuai dengan jenis tubuh mereka, mereka dapat merasa
malu di sekolah. Sebuah studi tahun 2003 oleh para peneliti di Arizona State University menemukan
bahwa "siswa dari sekolah tanpa seragam melaporkan skor persepsi diri yang lebih tinggi daripada siswa
dari sekolah dengan kebijakan seragam sekolah." Ketiga, beberapa siswa juga menemukan seragam
kurang nyaman daripada pakaian yang biasa mereka kenakan, yang mungkin tidak kondusif untuk
belajar. Terakhir, seragam sekolah di sekolah umum merusak janji pendidikan gratis dengan
memberlakukan beban ekstra pada keluarga. Orang tua sudah membayar pajak, dan mereka masih
perlu membeli pakaian biasa untuk anak-anak mereka untuk memakai ketika mereka pulang dari
sekolah dan untuk pakaian sehari-hari.

Kesimpulannya, seragam sekolah tetap penting untuk kebaikan siswa. Siswa akan disiplin dan akan lebih
fokus pada pelajaran. Seragam sekolah juga akan menunjukkan kepada mereka bahwa mereka itu setara
dalam belajar. Namun, untuk menutup semua kekurangan dari seragam sekolah seperti pembatasan
kebebasan siswa dalam berekspresi, citra diri siswa, kenyamanan siswa, dan biaya tambahan seragam
sekolah, ada beberapa rekomendasi yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Pertama, bolehkan siswa untuk
memakai atau menggunakan beberapa aksesoris selama mereka tidak melanggar peraturan.
Penggunaan aksesoris dapat membebaskan ekspresi mereka, citra diri, dan mempromosikan
kenyamanan mereka dalam belajar. Kedua, gunakan dua jenis seragam sekolah saja; seragam sekolah
formal dan seragam pramuka. Hal ini karena seragam sekolah tambahan atau akan membutuhkan uang
ekstra dari orang tua.

Advantages and Disadvantage of Facebook

Everything which we have in the world has two sides; good aspect and bad one. It is also definitely true
for the phenomenon of facebook. There are a large number of people who have facebook account. If we
see closely, facebook also has some pros and cons.

Certainly, facebook has many advantages. The easiness of communication is what most people agree.
We have had old friends and we are being separated by time and distance. Facebook is a great way to
reconnect us again. We have a family who lives far away. Again, Facebook can helps us to stay
connected. We can send news and share pictures with them of recent family activities. This easy
communication makes us get together though we ar not.

Another advantage of facebook is for bussiness purpose. Some companies use facebook to promote
their products and services. They will make Facebook page and write about their product and services
and will be easily connected to millions of people in the world. Facebook is a great outlet for companies
which needs to find new clients and keep contact with them easily. This is actually the biggest selling
point to facebook.

Besides the advantages, facebook has also disadvantages. Facebook is sometime scaring and annoying.
It is about a “virtual” friend. Facebook makes such friend connection exist, though may not in fact. Fake
Identity is another disadvantage. Who can guarantee that your friends in facebook have used the real
identity?

Facebook newsfeed can also become annoying. There are a lot of people who just want to talk
everything which sometimes makes no sense for us. Spamming is another problem with facebook. We
often receive invitations to games or things which we don’t like but we feel to be forced to like them
too.

According to me, facebook is not as an entirely bad thing or a completely good thing. Facebook is
absolutely about how we can use it wisely and safely.

The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

(Issue)

Nuclear power is a kind power supply that is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in
various part of the world. Nuclear power becomes the answer to produce clean and efficient energy that
will make this world better. However, not all people agree with that. Some of them believe that nuclear
power supply is dangerous. Pro-contra of building nuclear power supply becomes a major topic to
discuss among society.

(Supporting Points)

Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of
energy. It cause no pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant
are as follow:

It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.

It produces small amount of waste.

It is reliable.

(Contrasting Points)

On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. If the nuclear power supply is leak off or blow
up, the radiation can bring harm to any living being surrounding. Nuclear radiation is deadly which can
make people physically defect. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity
to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it
does go wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a major accident.

(Conclusion or Recommendation)

Nuclear power is a better alternative energy supply to replace fossil fuels energy supply. However,
nuclear power is also dangerous if it is not built properly. In conclusion, nuclear power is the best
answer to fulfill our needs of clean and efficient energy which is sustainable in the future. Government
should make careful constructions and good maintains to make nuclear power save.
