          In many secondary schools in Britain the wearing of school uniform is compulsory. Some schools argue that there are many disadvantages to this system. Most students don’t agree with school uniform, however, for a number 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 who look scruffy usually look scruffy in their uniforms, too. Therefore, you can always tell the people who come from poor homes because their uniforms are not as new or don’t fit properly. Lastly, the main reason why most students don’t like school uniforms is because most schools choose such horrible colors and styles that don’t suit young people at all.
