| | PRO | CON |
| SOCIAL | So that no one student will be left out or ignored | They won’t be given a chance to be individuals – which is one the aims of schools |
| POLITICAL/ PSYCHOLOGICAL | Students will think that they’re all the same and that no one is better off | Conforming won’t be able to help them in maturing |
| ECONOMIC/ ENVIRONMENTAL/ EDUCATION | It allows the practice of equality amongst students | No students would want to take the initiative to do something different (subjects) |
| RACE/ RELIGION | Equality amongst different races | Some schools are dominated by single race and thus making it uncultured |
| MEDIA | Students might gain ideas from the media | Students might get influenced negatively by what they see through the media (trends being followed by the other students which is inappropriate for school) |
