Perspective

You might be thinking to yourself: “What’s the big deal... I can afford to wear mufti, and it also means I don’t have to keep washing my uniform over and over again”. Stop! And get over yourself people. It’s not all about you. Is it all worth it? Just for you to look cool around your friends and fit in? Think about the reasons uniforms came about in the first place: sense of group identity, belonging to something larger than yourself and placing all students on a level playing field from the outset. After all, students don’t get to choose their parents do they? Although our self-interests can blur our thinking capacity from time to time, you must vote to keep uniforms. The benefits far out weigh the drawbacks.
