NO UNIFORMS!!!
“And that comes up to a grand total of one thousand five hundred dollars.”
That is only the summer uniform then you need your winter uniform, sports kit, and some schools require you to buy excess items too.
Cost is a big problem but it’s not the only one. Today I’m am going to talk to you about why we should NOT have school uniforms.
Cost, like I said earlier is a big problem. Uniforms cost Thousands dollars and two months later Oh No you’ve outgrown it. You may need two if you are a sports person like me. Every single item costs over one hundred dollars and you may need up to forty items a year.
Another big problem is the conditions people get their uniforms in. They become dirty and it causes huge amounts of stress for the unfortunate parents. It becomes a rush to clean them and some parents either don’t have a washing machine or just can’t find the time to clean the clothes. Hundreds of unfortunate kids have to go to school in a dirty uniform. It must be torture!
A rip in a uniform can become a huge problem and it becomes worse if it's in a bad place. Say the hole was giving a clear view of your underpants to everyone. I, personally would die of embarrassment. What if you didn’t have a mum who could sow. You would have to buy another uniform. One thousand more dollars please.
After swimming it would become a havoc no one knows who owns what.
It would be a huge problem.
The cost, the conditions, the rips and the problems if someone's clothes got lost are all huge problems but there are many many more.
WE SHOULD NOT HAVE UNIFORMS!!!

Short story.
A stick cracked underneath my foot alerting everyone and everything around us. I walked on not realising what had happened. As soon as my foot collided with the stick people materialized from nowhere and started chanting. The result being a disturbance of the leaves below me. They rose, glowing from their resting positions on the ground then formed a fist. The fist came crashing down narrowly avoiding me but hitting my friend. Just then I realised the magicians had gone but did not care. My friend was lying on the ground. I ran over and looked into his eyes. Those glassy eyes.
“NNNNNOOOOO!” Silent sobs shook my body
“I will get my revenge.” The words echoed finally stopping. “I will get my revenge.”

6 doors
Behind door one is a trip wire which sends a poisonous dart into your heart. You become immobilized and can only wait for the poison to take your life.
Behind door two is a raging inferno, making your skin blister and peel. The heat is tremendous but you manage to make out the silhouette of someone standing triumphantly on the other side of the flames.
Behind door three there is colloseum. You realise you are in full battle armour with a sword and shield. Someone challenges you and you fight hard but they overpower you forcing you onto the ground with the point of their blade resting on your neck. The emperor tilts his thumb earthwards and you feel a blade piercing your neck killing you.
Behind door four you find something that you never thought you would see again. It’s your dead mum. She rasps “I’m not your mum. I am now the oracle. I foresee you are going to die.” And with that she stabs you in the heart.
Behind door five is a crevasse but you haven’t noticed. You take a step and fall, fall, fall for a metre. Thank god for edges you think. I would have fallen down there had I not grabbed this edge. You look down and see paradise. Beach deck chairs, icy drinks and and assortment of other luxury items. You’re wondering how to get down there without breaking a bone or two when, you realise that there’s something on you back and it looks like a parachute. You let go of the edge and pull a cord. Unfortunately it’s just a backpack and no parachute comes out. You fall into the deck chair and the sudden weight makes the drinks bump a little. One falls into your hand but unfortunately you're dead.
Behind door 6 is a message.
The first you’s are repeated 1,000,000 times.
You die of old age.
