    The document discusses school uniforms from different perspectives. A speaker hated having to wear a navy blue jacket in elementary school but can see some benefits of uniforms like less showing off and making poorer students feel better. Another says uniforms until last year were horrible and that students should wear what they feel comfortable in, and that wealth still shows through regardless of uniforms. A third recalls taking uniforms for granted as a student but now thinks it would be easier and cheaper for their daughter if she just had a standard skirt and cardigan rather than spending hours choosing outfits. The final speaker is happy their school is uniform-free and feels it allows students to express themselves more fully, as was the case when they were a student with no uniforms at their small

    Unit 6. School. Recording 14.

    AThank goodness, we don’t have to wear uniforms at my school now, but when I was at
    elementary school, I had to wear an awful navy blue jacket; I hated it more than anything
    else. I don’t think I’d like it if they made us wear uniforms now, but I can see some good
    points, too. There would be far less showing off, and the girls who can’t afford fancy clothes
    would feel much better.BWe had to wear uniform until last year. It was horrible. You should
    be able to wear things you feel comfortable in. And all this talk about covering up the
    financial differences is rubbish. If you have a lot of money, it shows - whatever you’re
    wearing.CI really don’t know… When I was Sandra’s age, I never complained about my
    uniform, I just took it for granted I had to wear one. Now it’s completely different. Sandra
    spends hours on end choosing her clothes before she leaves in the morning. I sometimes think
    it would be easier and definitely much cheaper if she just had one skirt and cardigan for
    school use.DThe school where I work is uniform-free. I’m sure that the freedom to choose
    their own clothes allows young people to express their personalities more fully. I’m happy I
    had the same chance when I was a student. I went to a small village school, and we had no
    uniforms there.
