           When I was in Korea, our school had uniforms. Every middle schools and high schools in Korea have uniforms, but what about Saipan? Personally, I disagree with having uniform at SIS. Of course there are many advantages of uniforms, but, there are more disadvantages than advantages of school uniforms.

           First of all, Saipan is too hot to have a proper uniform. If there would be uniforms, those uniforms have to look proper, not just t-shirt and pants. I think SIS will not make uniforms that have shirt and vest, but more comfortable one, the collar shirts. However, in Saipan, wearing a collar shirt is too hot. Collar shirt is made of relatively thick fabric than other cotton fabric. SIS might set an ordinary T-shirt as uniform, but that doesn’t have any point of having uniforms at all. Uniforms are meant to be showing uniformity and formal attitude, but T-shirt just look like a PE uniform. Thus, it is better to not have uniform than having improper uniform.

           Second reason of not having uniform is that students have the right to express themselves. Students can express themselves freely through lots of ways. Dressing is one of those ways to show who they are. This is the biggest reason why most of the students protest against having uniform. Some students might think that they can reform the uniform to their own styles, but I don’t think SIS would let us do it. We have dress code, and it can be said little conservative. I don’t think students can express freely through uniforms by reforming it because SIS would not give students the right to be free to reform it.

           Finally, personally, I think whenever private school has uniforms, it looks that the school is religious school. SIS is not a religious school. In Saipan, every private religious school has uniforms. The fact that SIS is only school that has no uniforms among the private schools in Saipan differentiate SIS from other schools. It makes SIS look more liberate school than other schools. Thus, it is better not to have uniforms at SIS.

           I believe PE uniform, not just uniforms, is necessary to have for SIS students. Since every grade has PE class, and it’s very hot out there, students might feel comfortable if they have PE uniform.
