The School Uniform Question

Individualism is a fundamental value in many
places. Many believe in the right to express their
own opinion without fear of punishment. This
value, however, is coming under fire in an
unlikely way, that is in the public school
classroom. The issue is school uniforms. Should
public school students be allowed to make Title: The School Uniform Question
individual decisions about clothing, or should all
students be required to wear a uniform? School
uniforms are a better choice because it makes Hook: Sentence 1

responsibly, and promotes equality.

First of all, wearing school uniforms would

everyday lives that could be avoided with
uniforms. Uniforms would not only save time, but
would also eliminate the stress associated with
this chore.

Secondly, school uniforms influence Conclusion Sentences

students to act responsibly in groups and as
individuals. Uniforms give students the message
that school is a special place for learning. In
addition, uniforms create a feeling of unity among
students. For example, when students do an
activity as a group, such as attend meetings in
the auditorium, eat lunch in the cafeteria or go on
a school trip, the fact that they all wear the same
uniform would create a sense of community.
Even more importantly, statistics show the
positive effects that school uniforms have on
violence and truancy. According to a recent
survey in Hillborough County, Florida, incidents of
school violence dropped by 50 percent,
attendance and test scores improved, and
student suspensions declined approximately 30
percent after school uniforms were introduced
(Thomson 2009). This evidence shows the
positive effects that uniforms have on the
students’ sense of responsibility.

Finally, school uniforms would help make all

the students feel equal. People’s standards of
living differ greatly, and some people are well-off
while others are not. People sometimes forget
that school is a place to get an education, not to
“promote a fashion show, like some public
schools these days” (MacLeod 2008).
Implementing mandatory school uniforms would
make all the students look the same regardless of
their financial status. School uniforms would
promote pride and help to raise the self-esteem
of students who cannot afford to wear stylish
 clothing. Uniforms level the playing field while at
school.

Opponents of school uniforms may argue

that wearing uniforms is an elimination of
individuality. However, we must keep in mind that
a school is a place for students to study, not to
engage in fashion shows. Besides, students can
always show individuality off campus.

In conclusion, there are many well-

documented benefits to implementing mandatory
school uniforms for students. Studies show that
students learn better and act more responsibly if
they wear uniforms. Public schools should
require uniforms in order to benefit both the
students and society as a whole. This change
should be implemented immediately.

Yes ma’am, we clearly understood our

None, ma’am.
An argumentative essay is a type of
essay that presents arguments about
both sides of an issue. It could be that
both sides are presented equally
balanced, or it could be that one side
is presented more forcefully than the
other. It all depends on the writer, and
what side he supports the most. It is
composed of the introduction, body
and conclusion.
Learning to write an argumentative
essay will help you develop critical
thinking and research skills along with
developing how to rationally defend a
position. These skills will help your
progress academically and
occupationally.

 F. APPLICATION: ACTIVITY 3: Pair Up!
Directions: Find a partner then, read
and analyze the essay entitled
“Should Marine Mammals be in
Captivity?”. Locate the essential parts
of the essay by:
a. underlining the hook,
b. encircling the thesis statement,
c. putting a double underline on the
reasons,
d. crossing out the counter argument,
putting the rebuttal in the rectangle,
and
e. putting the restated claim in the
parenthesis.
Should Marine Mammals be in Captivity?
There is no doubt that marine mammals should
not be held in captivity. They are part of the nature
and should not be bought, sold or thrown in an
aquarium. Marine mammals have the right to be kept
in their natural environment.
Captivity causes many health problems in
marine mammals. Many tanks have water full of
chemicals and bacteria; this results to blindness ad
many skin problems in dolphins and other marine
mammals. Marine mammals in captivity die from
pneumonia, ulcers, and other stress related diseases.
Most of these helpless creatures suffer from
boredom. Dolphins in the wild can swim up to 40- 100
miles per day, but in the pools, they go around
swimming in repetitive patterns. Due to boredom and
limited space, many dolphins abuse themselves; they
often bang their heads against tank and aquarium
walls.
Moreover, some of these poor innocent
creatures face abusive treatment by their care takers;
thus shortening their life span. In fact, Keiko, the killer
whale star in Free Willy, was a victim of this type of
abuse. It was known to be said that he was 1000
pounds underweight and developed a wartlike
disease. His teeth were ground down chewing the
sides of the pool due to boredom, and he also had a
problem with his dorsal fin.
On the contrary, some people think that holding
animals in captivity helps in studies and research. But
the truth is, scientists prefer to learn about animals in
their natural environment, so they get first hand
knowledge.
In conclusion, marine mammals should not
definitely be held in captivity. Mahatma Gandhi once
said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral process
can be measured by the way animals are treated.” In
a world where much of nature and the wild has
already been last, it is up to us to let these beautiful
marine mammals free.
