Advantages and Disadvantages of School Uniform

Advantages and Disadvantages of School Uniform

Pupils all around the world have worn school uniform for many years. Many schools in Japan, France, USA and Israel, oblige pupils to come to school with a uniform. Wearing school uniform has advantages and disadvantages which I will present in my composition.

On the one hand, the school uniform is very important. It is imporatant because it shows that a student belongs to a certain school. When a student wears a shirt with the school's symbol, everyone knows where the student studies, a thing which may help to create a feeling of belonging and school pride. Moreover, the school uniform saves money. Students sometimes judge other students by their outward look. Therefore, many students spend much money on clothes in order to be more popular. When everyone wears the same uniform, the students don't need to spend much money to buy expensive brand names. In addition, school uniform saves time in the mornings because you don't have to think much about what to wear. In addition, schools claim that school uniform is important for good education because pupils need to obey a certain dress code, a thing that helps the students be prepared for the army and any other framework.

On the other hand, some pupils claim that wearing a school uniform hurts their individuality and self-expression. They claim it deprives them of the right to wear whatever they want. After all, they are still children and at this age there should be more room for self expression. As far as saving money, some pupils claim that the school uniform doesn't save money because they need to buy additional clothes to what they already have. Therefore, they think it is not necessary and should be cancelled.

To conclude, in the light of the above, school uniform has advantages and disadvantages. I strongly believe that the school uniform is necessary and has benefits. However, I think that each school should design its school uniform from time to time and let pupils and teachers decide on it.

The picture shows school uniform in a Japanese school, there they call it "Sailor Fuku" which means "School uniform".

Very good work! I enjoyed reading your essay.

Burge McCall - correction

Burge McCall

The relationship between Burge and his wife, Venita has changed a lot throughout the story. At the beginning of the story they hated each other, however, at the end of the story they loved each other. What has caused this change? In my composition, I am going to describe their relationship and what has brought this change.

Venita McCall was a tall, thin woman with black hair and big black eyes. She always wore her hair parted in the middle and smoothed down on each side. She was a quiet woman who didn't have many friends. In addition, she was an introvert person who didn't talk much. On the other hand, Burge McCall was a short heavy man with a loud voice. He thought he was a lady killer and was married twice. Burge and Venita hated each other in the beginning and people said Venita married him to run away from the noise of the Santa Fe railroad engines. Burge McCall was a chief clerk and earned a good salary, but he was very stingy with his wife because he liked to spend it on himself and other women. In addition, he called his wife bad names, but she didn't answer. She only looked at him in a way that made him even angrier. One day he even slapped her on her face and she called him "a dirty rat".

Venita asked the chemist to tell her husband she bought a pound of rat poison and Burge McCall started to treat her nicely because he was scared she would poison him.For example, he didn't get drunk because he was scared he would be poisoned by her while he was drunk. Moreover, he started to take her out to restaurants, to movies, to picnics and he spoke nicely to her because he didn't want to upset her. As a result, Venita started to like him and was gentle and warm to him, a thing that has improved their relationship and soon they were in love with each other. One day, Burge looked at his wife and he saw that she was smiling at him and called her "honey", which shows they really loved each other. Unfortunately, Burge died and Venita shed tears in his funeral.

To conclude, as far as I see, Venita and Burge McCall's realtionship has changed dramatically during their marriage because of Venita's smart decision to make her husband know she had bought rat poison. Venita deliberately told the chemist to tell her husband she had bought rat poison, a thing that scared Burge. As a result, he started to treat her nicely and it eventually improved their relationship.

Expressing Opinion About Homework - Correction 30.4.09

Expressing an Opinion About Homework
.
Schools have been giving homework for centuries. However, many students think that giving homework is unfair. They claim that in many cases it is not necessary. I strongly believe that homework is necessary , nevertheless, it should be given with much consideration.

On the one hand, teachers sometimes give too much homework without any consideration. Sometimes we have to do a lot of homework and study for tests, a thing which is very hard. Let's not forget we have a "life" after school and we need to do other things besides studying. For example, some students go to a Youth movement or have hobbies.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that doing homework improves a student's grades. For example, Math and English are subjects that demand practicing at home. A pupil can't do all the excerises in the lesson. However, there are some subjects that a student doesn't need to do a lot of homework. For instance, history is a subject the student has to do less homework. Unfortunately, every teacher thinks his subject is the most important and "bombards" us with a lot of homework, especially when we go on holidays, a thing which is unfair.

To conclude, I believe that the golden mean is the best. Teachers should give homework, but they should give it in the right proportion. If teachers always give a limited number of exercises every lesson, it will be more effective than giving a lot of homework every now and then. In addition, teachers should be considerate when we have tests.


Very good work. (97)
