Room 10 has been working on writing Arguments as part of their work in LIteracy. Students worked collaboratively to write an argument on the topic " Should we have school uniforms?" Here is what Talaofa, Paisha, Ana B. and Alyanna wrote as a group.
Should we have school uniforms?
Anyone who goes to school should know that uniforms are the main school rules for students. For some reason, some students are against this “rule” and highly think of it as an argument we should speak about.
People against this rule either can’t afford school uniforms or think it's a waste of money. Some parents are struggling with money problems and with school uniforms on their list, it'll be more of a problem saving and spending more money on uniforms. Every year students grow out of their uniform, which means they probably need to buy a new set of shirts that cost $30 and pants/skirt or one of each that would cost about $38 or $48 depending on the size and what you would like buying, So parents have to spend more money on uniforms, Parents also need to spend money to buy stationery in order to get their child ready for school.
On the other hand School uniforms is an essential part of the school. It represents our school in a more formal way by wearing them. As for people, it's also a great thing to wear a uniform because it is an easier way to identify which school a person is from.
Alternatively, some students may think school uniforms are uncomfortable and students won’t be able to express their sense of fashion by wearing the same thing over and over again.
Either way, our outfits don’t control what we think. Every school has Mufti- days where students wear what they like, to school.
Yes, that is very true, but some schools ask students to pay to be in mufti. Students bring a dollar to donate. That is also money that is taken away from our homes.
There are many strong arguments about wearing school uniforms, but in conclusion, I agree that keeping our School uniforms would be more professional for education and would be a great way to boost the school’s reputation.
Therefore, if we consider the school as an institution that has a very important role in the community, school uniforms give it that reputation. My group strongly believes and supports the idea of having school uniforms.

Hi Guys, You have discussed some very good points on the topic. It is good to see that you have included some figures to support your argument. I suggest that you also include figures from other uniform or clothing providers so that you could compare the prices of different uniforms and clothes. Keep up with your good work.
