Dialogue on school dress (school uniform) of the students

Teacher:

Greetings, Akhi. Why did you come to school wearing your plain personal clothes today?

Akhi:

I apologize, Sir. Most of my clothes are at the laundry, but I couldn't afford to miss my classes.

Teacher:

It's good that you didn't miss your classes. Let me explain to you, Akhi, that the school uniform isn't just a show or something attractive; it's a symbol of identity and unity with the school.

Akhi:

Could you please elaborate on that, sir?

Teacher:

Certainly. When you wear your school uniform, it shows that you belong to and take pride in the school. However, if you don't wear it, you appear to be just one of many different individuals from various families, and your identity as a student of this school is lost.

Akhi:

But my parents teach me to dress appropriately for different occasions. Isn't that enough, sir?

Teacher:

Indeed, your parents play a crucial role in your upbringing and provide you with essential values. However, not all families are as well-off or educated as yours. Think about the children from less privileged and uneducated families. The school uniform ensures a sense of equality and prevents students from feeling left out.

Akhi:

I'm truly sorry, sir. When I entered the class today, everyone looked at me as if I were a complete stranger.

Teacher:

Do you understand now why I emphasize the importance of the school dress?

Akhi:

Yes, sir. I won't make the same mistake again.

Teacher:

Thank you for understanding.
