Uniforms in Public Schools Or No Uniforms?

[BlueDragon1981]

Just wondering what you all think?

well we wear uniforms and I think it is a good idea in high schools, altough I am against it in elementry schools I like the idea of uniforms because there are less forunate children in the world and uniforms are a way of them to fit in and not be judged on their appearance. They also discourage robbery, because your all wearing the same thing, and they make you feel alot more apart of a comunity of people. Now some might say that uniforms take away your individuality and I disagree. You can still do whatever you want with you hair, and pick what ever tie you want But I think in a way uniforms actually increasae individuality, because it allows people to look at each other more equally and really ge to know more of the person inside without being blinded or discouraged by clothing. Just my two cents

Teacher speaking LOL

 

Uniforms never - This is America and we have the right to choose. Private schools are differant but in public schools it is aginst the Constution. (voters can pass it however)

 

Dress Code you bet - If our local schools did not have one girls would come in bikini tops. Guys would come in beer shirts and wife beaters. There has to be a line but uniforms are a no go in public schools.

It seems that public school is slowly removing all traces of real life from their environment in order to keep the "peace" and cover their asses from lawsuit-happy parents (who are just as much to blame). In the end I think this sort of thing leaves the student pampered and sheltered and ill-prepared for the real world.

 

Of course towards the end they have the nerve to turn around and tell you that colleges value people who stand out as individuals... something they've spent the past few years discouraging you from.

 

I was so glad to be out of that place .

G95, you may be right. But, speaking as a parent of a teenage daughter, uniforms would should save me a load of money!!!!

KSN I agree that uniforms have a great upside. However the thing is this is the USA and everyone has the right to do what they want as long as it don't harm another. Self expression is key to our way of life. Uniforms will never win If it is ever taken to the Supreme Court.

My thoughts exactly. Well said omnifinite.

i think there should be coz it makes it so much easyer and stops the rivalry between different types of groups.

I chose no

 

This is because i believe that what a person wears can reflect how comfortable they are with their environment.

 

The more comfortable you are with your environment the better your performance.

 

Just my two cents

 

Thanx

I don't agree that uniforms should be regulated across a nation. But I think some schools should do it leaving a choice for people. I mean there are parent councils and the staff could have a vote to decide for that pertictular school. That way people who like uniforms could go there and those who do not like them can go to another public school, that way everyone's happy
