Should student's wear uniforms?

My sister came home from school one night and said her class had a discussion about whether or not most schools should wear uniforms or if most should not. I thought about it and it was actually very interesting to think about. I had thought of some great reasons for both sides.

My school does not have a uniform we must wear and I always thought I liked it better that way, but when I stopped to think about it on both perspectives, I am not quite sure which one I prefer now.

On one hand, wearing a uniform makes it so you know exactly what you're going to wear the next day, so you don't have to spend 30 minutes trying to figure it out. Also, kids can't bully or judge you on how you're dressed, because everyone will be wearing the same thing.

Plus, you don't have to worry about someone wearing a shirt saying a swear word or something offensive on it. Although, some downsides are that one, you don't get to express your creativity through your clothes, and uniforms can get pretty pricey. You have to make sure you don't lose your uniform or else you won't have anything else to wear.

Though, on the other hand, not wearing a uniform you can feel free to be yourself by wearing what colours you want and decided what feels comfortable for you, and being able to change it up everyday. You don't have to pay a lot of money every few years or so to get the new size of the uniform, plus all the extra stuff like shoes or sweaters or whatever. Uniforms tend to be not as fun colours, so without them you can wear pink, green, blue, black, white, whatever you want. Although, with no uniform you have a higher risk of being bullied because your clothes are "ugly", or you don't have the "newest fashions". Also, the kids could be to creative, and get dress coded a lot.

These are some of my opinions on the matter and I would love to here what you think. Let me know if you are "Team Uniforms', "Team No Uniforms", or "Team Neutral". I personally think I am "Team Neutral".
