Do You Think School Uniforms Should Be Banned?

The idea of school uniforms started from religious institutes and has expanded to public schools. The public schools around the world want children to wear school uniforms. In Australia, debate is, on whether school uniforms should be banned or not?

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 19 percent of public schools want uniforms for the 2011-2012 school years. Followers of uniforms disagree that it cuts on violence and help students to focus on their studies. They say focus on studies have nothing to do with the uniforms. Good students will always concentrate on their work no matter what they wear.

Uniforms make their early morning task easy. They don’t have to think which pants look good with which shirt or which shoes to wear and so on. Furthermore, people say that uniforms make the students look neat, clean, tidy and in order. Parents think that uniforms in school will reduce the bulling activity in the school.

 
 Likewise, studies suggest that making students wear school uniforms may cause individuality and development problems. Opponents of uniforms say that, “School uniforms teach that authority and obedience are most important.” In corporate industry, uniforms are not worn by executives as they believe in qualities such as creativity, individuality, spontaneity, proactivity and originality by giving them freedom. They say that uniforms are an outdated practice which needs to be changed with the time. They are not important to students but are misleading them to believe that conformity, obedience and authority are most important to society.

Pockets: Bike jerseys must have three pockets on the back towards the waist to provide easy access to energy bars, gel, and other small items while cycling.

Zip: Having a zipper in front will help a biker to ventilate as needed. There are full as well as partial zippers. The latter ones are mostly preferred as they can be easily zipped close.

Sleeves: Whether to choose a half sleeve or full sleeve, it all depends on the temperature. Where the biking temperature is cooler, a long-sleeve jersey or warmers can help.

Fabric: Cycling tops are mostly made from polyester material as it dries quickly and wicks moisture away from the skin.

Biking on roads is different from biking on mountains. Aerodynamics and speed are major factors. So, bikers need to be meticulous about choosing their tops in either condition for better performances.
