                                                                      My speech

Kia ora my name is Dakota and my speech is about "Should students wear whatever they want or uniforms to school? Are they important or not?"

Question: What do you think uniform or no uniform?                                                                                        In my opinion, I think uniforms are important and should be worn to school everyday unless it's mufti-day. I have about four reasons why I agree to school uniforms.

Represent your school!                                                                                                                                       Reason one: I think students should wear school uniforms so people in public know which school you represent.

Don't bully others for what they wear!                                                                                                               Reason two: Bullying occurs everywhere now. There is bullying in school, online, and in stores. One of the reasons why there's bullying in school is because of what students wear. Some students can't afford expensive clothes and some can. Many students that can afford expensive clothing bully the ones that can't. Schools can put a stop to that by requiring all students to wear a uniform.

There's no need to spend too much money!                                                                                                         Reason three: Why spend so much money to look good in school? Some parents spend plenty of money from their bank card to buy their kids some new clothes. If the school requires students to wear uniforms, parents won't have to spend so much money.

Safety!                                                                                                                                                               Reason four: School uniforms improve safety. Keeping track of students and what they carry into our schools makes it easier for staff and other students. Intruders can be identified right away by our school community because they stand out.

In conclusion, there are many well-documented benefits implementing mandatory school uniforms for students.

Thank you for listening to my speech!
