In many secondary schools in Britain wearing school uniform is compulsory. Some schools argue that there are many disadvantages to this system. Most students don’t agree with school uniforms, however, for a lot of reasons. Firstly, when you have to wear the same clothes as everyone else, you don’t have a chance to develop personal taste in the way you dress. Moreover, people usually look scruffy in their uniforms, and you can always tell the people who come from poor homes because their uniforms are not as new

or don’t fit properly. Finally, the main reason why most students don’t like school uniforms is that most schools choose colors and styles that don’t suit young people at all.
