I'M FOR UNIFORMS!!!
2006-10-20 13:04:38 · update #1
I'm for uniforms also, and strict ones for males too. When I went to school, the girls had only 2 choices for skirts (plain grey or plaid grey), 2 choices for shirts(blue or white), and 2 choices for socks(Grey or Navy). The boys in the school had to wear button down shirts & ties, but they could be anything. One guy wore a Marilyn Monroe tie to school, and some of the guys wore the strangest color shirts(I remember seeing Neon Green). I really thought that they should have specific items that they had to wear like us girls did.
My school did have "dress down days", when students could wear "civilian clothing". There were rules about that also, no short shorts or bellies shown. A lot of times, this was used as a fundraiser for a club or charity event.

Uniforms make students feel like they are imprisoned. It gets boring wearing the same thing, same colors everyday. When students have the freedom to where what they wish, the school is a brighter place and it makes for a happier atmosphere.
There is no real good reason for dress codes/uniforms as it doesnt matter if everyone is wearing the same thing, you can still pick out the kids that dont shower regularly,,,yadda yadda.
And what happens when the students graduate and need to go off to college/university and all they have is their uniform for clothing, and they will be behind in times as far as fashion goes. University and college are overwhelming enough without the extra pressure of trying to discover who you are and trying to fit in. This kind of stuff is supposed to happen in high school, but its not so easy when everyone is forced to wear the same thing, and no one can express theirself, their feelings and their individuality.
Our clothes express who we are and how we are feeling, and as people we should have the freedom to express our individuality. If we were all supposed to dress the same, God would have made us all to think, talk, look, and act alike. If that was the case, the world would be a very boring place.

Most of the school uniforms I've seen have been unbelievably UGLY and predominantly made out of synthetic materials (have you ever had the misfortune to stand downwind from someone wearing a polyester shirt on a muggy, hot day?).
Those two reasons are enough to make me vote for "civilian" clothing (with some limits, such as no belly tops, shorts or jeans with the butt falling out of them). I understand that schools initially and increasingly went the uniform route to eliminate fights over expensive sports shoes and designer clothing.
But, come on! Isn't it possible to find some sort of middle ground?

It's hard to come up with valid reasons to go from uniforms to civilian clothes, since it's been shown time and time again that kids do better in schools that require uniforms.
The best I could come up with: Allows the students to express themselves through their clothing. Allows greater freedom of choice for dressing appropriately for the weather or special occasions.
For high school students who work after school, they don't have to change from their school uniforms, thus saving them time.
Uniforms for girls generally consist of a jumper or skirt, which are not appropriate for sports or play during recess; it unfairly restricts girls' physical activities and discriminates against them in athletics.
It teaches students to make appropriate choices about their wardrobe.

Schools try to give their students the freedom on choosing which clothes are right for them. This is I think is part of democratic procedure giving everyone the legacy of choice. This is as well a very considerable factor in terms of weather since right clothing can be adopted easily w/o sacrificing the health and comfortability of students during class hours.

Personally, I support uniforms, but I'm assuming by the question you asked that you have to argue that you need to change uniforms. I would argue that it teaches kids how to focus while being distracted by different clothing. (it sounds dumb, but if you saw how kids dressed at my school, you'd agree.) It also teaches kids how to make clothes look nice and how to dress for different occasions. Like if you had a dance one day or something. It also makes people feel better if you dress nice and if you feel nice than you do better.

ok, i'm a student who has had to positioned on uniforms and favourite clothing and right this is a few issues that folk have proposed which you mustn't use! do no longer say it cost much less money by way of fact uniforms are lots extra much less costly, which will backfire on you. additionally do no longer say it creates each and every physique to combination in becuase it is so no longer real. ok an income for favourite clothing is it provides pupils a threat to precise themselves, which will lead them to much less rebelious in different types.

Sorry ! You're gonna lose that one. I'm all for school uniforms and I believe any school that receives federal money should be required to impose a uniform only dress code.

To teach children how to dress appropriately and allow them to express themselves and to foster independent thinking.

There's always the old "freedom of expression" thing.
