A. Do you wear a uniform to school? Would you like to wear one? These are questions for debate and discussion. Like in lots of things there are two sides in this problem. Some people say that all schools should wear uniforms. Others are sure that school uniforms are not comfortable and old-fashioned. Well, both arguments have experts on their side. There is no clear answer.
B. Christ`s Hospital is one of the oldest schools in Britain. They have an unusual uniform that dates back to the time when the school was founded. And that was in 1552! Boys and girls wear a long blue coat, knee trousers, and yellow socks. And today students don`t change their habits. They still wear the same uniform. There were some talks about making the uniform more modern. But it was decided to continue wearing the old uniform.
C. Many school teachers and parents believe that uniforms create a better learning environment at school. Children stop paying much attention to bright clothes and fashion labels, which distract their attention. Instead they spend more time on studying and learn to concentrate better on classes. As a result their attention improves and they get higher marks. Different studies in the UK prove that.
D. Harrow is a prestigious boys` school in northern London with a strict uniform tradition. You can easily recognize a Harrow student by the hat, which is part of the uniform. All boys have to wear their hats every day when they go to classes or return from them. Some students are allowed to wear a different scarf, tie or jumper. But the hat should always be there. Students must wear it no matter what happens.
E. Many parents complain that their children spend a lot of time planning and choosing what clothes to wear to school every day. Instead they could sleep an extra hour. However, if children wear uniforms at schools, they don`t worry about what to wear every day. And they may have an extra hour or half an hour every morning. Sounds nice, doesn`t it?
F. Eton College is one of the best and most prestigious schools in Britain. The uniform is very strict: black jacket and a waistcoat, a white collar and dark trousers. Only a small group of students can slightly change their uniform. They are members of an important school club called the Pop. They can wear any waistcoat they please. Prince William, when he was at Eton, wore a waistcoat designed like a British national flag.
G. School uniforms are not always cheap for parents, especially if there are two or more children in a family and they are all students. Parents can`t buy any clothes they want. They can`t shop at sales, either. What is more, many schools have several uniforms such as every day uniforms, formal uniforms for special events and another uniform for P.E. classes. And children grow fast. So parents have to spend more money every year.
