Classic or Casual
When times pushes the evolution of human
thoughts, we can have our mind variable and acceptable to embrace cultural
differences. It’s natural that former frame of regulations cannot limit human’s
infinite possibilities. Nowadays, some rules set before were gradually broken
down for they are not anymore suitable in the society currently. For instance, the
abolishing of curfew in college dormitory, the legalization of same-sex
marriage nationwide in the U.S. and the going or staying of death penalty issue
are some of the popular topics. New ideas are pumping out around the world. In Taiwan,
a controversial question about wearing uniform is catching public’s attention recently.
I do have a deep impression of this issue
and keep wondering about it, because throughout my school life before college the
question against uniform never occurred in my mind. From elementary school to
senior high school, most of students in Taiwan public schools have to wear uniform
from Monday to Friday. The idea of wearing uniform in school is to put each of
students under control. Similar to a tiny military
camp, no one in school can be unique; you have to be the same like others as
the uniform does. Do what the schedule ask you to, follow what the teachers
said you should, study hard and care nothing else, which would make you to be a
well-behaved student. No exceptional can be allowed for that sometimes
differences cause disputation and it do no good to academic performance in the eyes of some
educators or parents . Therefore, several rules may be set up to punish
student who doesn’t obey to the dress code. In the past, if you do something
wrong against the rules, it’s no doubt that one should be disciplined. Nonetheless,
now it comes to the argument that is it really considered a disorder needed to
be punished.
Some
think uniform at school is unnecessary at all, which is to say, students have
their free will to wear what they want to as long as it was not against law. While
some regard uniform as a simpler way that students don’t have to worry about
their dressing every day. Needless thinking may cost extra time anyway. For me,
I tend to be the side of the latter one. Yet I’m not saying that incomplete
dressing should be punished; instead, school could consider opening a day or
two to let students to take a breath out of rules and show their own style. Flexible
policy of uniform may not only ease some tense under pressure to continue the
order, but also present the diversities and energy of the youth. Wednesday is
my senior high’s casual day. Everyone including myself enjoy a day out of
uniform while some lazy ones still pick uniform out of closet. I appreciate how
my school runs the rules and I hope it can be a great tradition to pass along
generations.
After entering into university, we are no
longer regulated by uniform rules. It comes out, unexpectedly, making me
somehow miss my uniform. I started to appreciate the convenience uniform used
to give me when I’m wondering in front of my closet every morning. Uniform gives
us identity. We usually can recognize which school of the uniform due to the uniqueness
of it; that is, we should be proud of the school badge on it. If I see our
school uniform shorts in university, it’ll make me miss my hometown and I also
get a chance to make new friends from the same senior high background. Such an
ecstasy it is that strangers are connected with uniform!
What is your opinion toward abolishing
uniform at school? Is it for or against?
No matter
which side you choose, you should keep you uniform well if you have ones. They must
contain a lot of colorful stories in school days; treasure it or you may regret
it.
