According to an article, school uniforms in England were established in the sixteenth century in poor children's schools, but with uniform time it became a pride in institutions where young people from very good families are learning. Ironically, the label of poverty - the uniform - has come to represent a high social status. In countries with totalitarian regimes, the uniform received special treatment: no deviations from the rules were allowed; the new man was to be created (and) by uniform. Short stop in Romania, where the obsession for school uniform reached paranoid odds. The subject of uniforms is and will always be one of controversy and contradiction. Some say the uniform is a communist reminiscence, others say it is a sign of respect, but the truth is somewhere in the middle.
The period before 1989 was a society in which people (especially students) wanted to follow a pattern. Any person who came out of a different gesture was seen from a distance, with some detachment. It was intended to unify the population, to ignore everything that means uniqueness, freedom of expression. Uniforms have, of course, played an important role in this process, enduring any desire of the students to notice.
However, the question "Why does the West go to us not?"
The comparison is one from the sky to the ground, the eastern educational systems being very different from the Western ones. In American, British schools, for instance, organizational culture, schooling is being cultivated in a variety of ways, ranging from school colors, football matches, basketball between high schools, mascots, teachers and executives who are very open, leaving the barrier between them pupils aside, the medium of expression much more developed, so the students from there already get a condition for their school. Uniforms thus become an effect, a response to the need for students to belong to school.
Imagine that you are imposing a uniform similar to Western students to a school in Romania. There are few schools where it would be enjoyed, and those are where students already feel like in a large family at school. Otherwise, the measure of the uniform looks like a desire to impose respect, to force students to feel this feeling about their school.
Concluding, I agree that decency is indispensable to a learning environment, but I believe that uniforms should only appear when pupils will feel the need for membership that is large enough to ask for it. Until then, it only remains a need to impose a pattern.
