Uniforms for Teachers

Teachers should not be required to wear uniform.  First of all, many teachers do not make a lot of money and this will help them save money so they may spend on the more essentials such as paying bills and rent.  In addition, they may spend on experiences such as traveling and visiting museums to enhance their knowledge and their teaching.  Second, there is no use to wearing a uniform.  It won't cease and prevent any destructive behaviors from the students and won't help the teachers become better teachers. Being a good teacher comes from within and outward appearance will not make any improvement in their teaching style or help build their relationships with the students.

As a matter of fact, the act of putting on a uniform may hinder teachers from forming relationships with their students. The teachers become the authoritarian figure that students are intimidated by and afraid to reach out. Good relationship with the students is the key foundation to help build long lasting learner and provide mentorship for the students. The aura of power creates a solid wall between the teachers and the students.  Lastly, students will feel relax since they know that teachers are just normal people who walk the earth. Teachers are just like the parents, aunts, and other relatives in their immediate family.  All in all, uniform has its own benefits no doubt but not wearing them allows students and teachers to be more at ease with each other.
