Write a persuasive article on why students should or shouldn't have to wear school uniform

Uniform. The bain of our lives as students. What does it achieve? Oppression. Regimentation. Suppressing our freedom to express ourselves. Teachers and schools insist that as students we should strive to be ourselves and follow our dreams. How can we do this when we're forced to dress exactly the same as everyone else? School uniforms should be abolished, now.
Yes, some may say that they prevent bullying and make everyone equal. However, studies have shown that in fact wearing uniforms does not reduce bullying but 67% of students have said wearing uniforms makes them unhappy and uncomfortable. Surely teachers don't want to have unhappy students in their classroom? Surely this does not create a positive learning environment where students can thrive? Education is for students, let them be happy while they learn.
