Should school uniforms be a definitely in schools?

no way im made my parents put me in private school and we have the gayest uniforms good thing they did away with suits though..i think we should have our choice of what we wear as long as its not harming asnyone else..

No way man. I had to put up with uniforms this year.
Gladly it's my last.
Whatever happened to individuality?
That cuts us off completely.

nope. there should be a slight dress code, so there arn't kids wlaking aorund naked. But I mean people should wear what they want. They say it helps control popularity facotrs, from wearing lables, ect. But it doesn't! lol those retards. They should let the kids decide. We are the ones who have to goto the hell every day

I remember wearing uniform when I was in elemantary school; it was simple and I liked it.

I say, have uniforms until the start of highschool.

Kids just all the look the same in middle school anyways (as in, everyone copies one-anothers style to the max), might as well put them into uniforms and save them the trouble of "expressing" themselves.

never had to waer uniforms...... one arguement is it'll help mask people and maybe make others accept them better, but people will still found other ways to cut doewn other kids one way or another...thta's how people are

Everyone should have to wear Ancient Roman Tunics and Togas to school.

i think yea.. becoz every1 will look the same.......
but on the other hand no.. becoz its expensive and people will not use that inform after skoool

they should have uniforms...thats just one more thing taken away from us at school. but on the otherhand people at our school [mainly girls] come into school dressed up as if they're about to strip. personally i dont wanna see that...but then uniforms suck [i went to private school for a while] so i guess what most schools do is they best. which is have a dress code.

Plus, you would not have to worry about not to wear the next day.

yes cuz some kids cant afford to buy those expensive brand name clothes liek the others, and school isnt a place to show off what type of clothes u wear...
and some people are looked down upon based on what kind of clothes they have so maybe if everyone wears the same thing that might change...

I think we should have uniforms, actually. For one thing, I won't have to be disgusted everyday at skirts shorter than five year-old girls' skirts, it would be a lot cheaper for many because parents wouldn't have to put up with buying the "latest trends" for their children. Oh, and about "expressing yourself" - trust me, there are plenty of ways to express yourself. You can write in English, join clubs, do sports, etc. There are tons of ways other than you can express yourself other than dress. Furthermore, it wouldn't make high school such a popularity contest. This is just one factor in that.

i'd say have have uniforms until you go to university ^_______^" have the option here and would rather go to a private school with uniforms then an public school... but all catholic school have uniforms anyways...
pros:
WIth uniforms someone doe snot have to worry about what to wear the next mroe anymore...
does not feel left out if they don't stay with the trend
does not need to waste sooo much money buying all kindas of different clothes and updating it ever sooo often.
no one would get made fun of by the way they dress...

cons:
no self independence... can't should your own crativity
must wear what the school requires...

tooo lazy to think now =)

To those who are saying that uniforms take away indepence/uniqueness/creativitiy:


Creativity comes from the your inner self. If you are truly a creative person, you'll learn to express yourself through other means.

How does wearing uniforms take away independence? Just because you're wearing the same thing as the person next to you doesn't mean that you're any more dependent on things than they are. It's just an excuse.

To be unique doesn't necessarily mean to stand out by wearing expensive/strange clothing. It can mean acting differently or reserving a unique opinion on things...

BE CREATIVE. Uniforms aren't the end of the world.

i support uniforms if the skirts are short.

i think school uniforms would prevent a lot of things..for example..ppl wouldnt judge others by the clothes they wear or they wouldnt be labeled as a "punk" or a "slut" because of the way they dress..im a bit undecided because i know i wouldnt want to have to wear a uniform..but then again i think about how it would prevent cliques and what not..soooo yeah..still undecided..i'll get back to you on that..

Haha yeah, that's what I was saying...it's not like you can't alter the uniform in anyway...

I GUESS IT`Z 0K... BUT WAT AB0UT WINTER TIMES? MAN... THAT`Z N0T A G00D THING L0LS... U KN0W WAT I LIKE? 3 M0NTHS WEARING UNIF0RMS...THEN THE NEXT 3 M0NTHS WEAR WHATEVER WE WANT...BUT THE RULES ARE STILL THE SAME..N0 SKIRT UP T0 UR ASS L0LS. HEH AND N0 STRIPPERS L0LS HAHAHA NEWAIS YEAH... I W0ULD BE 0K WEARING SK00L UNIF0RMS...BUT I WANT IT T0 BE ALL K0REAN/JAPANESE UNIF0RM STYLE!! I L0VE THEIR UNIF0RMS THE BEST!
.

D0NT U THINK S0? L0LS

it shouldn't be a different. some people like to dress in their own style and not have one set for them. others may like the uniform policy because it saves the trouble of having to figure out what to wear everyday for school. i personally like to wear different things depending on my mood .. i don't like having outfits planned for me.

I say no. I don't see anything drastically good and different with school that have the uniforms and ones that don't have uniforms. Trust me people can and WILL still look slutty with a uniform or dress code. We had it for one year at my old middle school and we had to wear collard shirts,khaki's or jean. All you had to do was buy TIGHT jeans or very short skirts, and then buy the collard shirts that had snaps.buttons that went down past your chest and unbuttoned them. Uniforms won't stop any problems to me esp. not kids being made fun of. Though I love children, they are vicous creatures, they will make fun of you no matter what, because it goes past the clothes into who you are. Unifroms don't solve problems to me they create more because someone will be less focused on your clothing and more focused on tearing down who you actually are. Plus you still have to worry about what you will wear the next day, esp if you have various uniforms, becuase shoot i still had that problem last year.

I don't see anything really positive about uniforms so therefore i am against it.

Now if they all had to wear Red Army Uniforms, then it would be hard to look slutty.

^that is what you think, girls are really really creative nowadays

Notice I said hard, not impossible.

Yeah, but at least with uniforms, if you set down a rule, it would be easier to crack down on people like that. I mean, it would be obvious with uniforms opposed to seeing bright colors up and down the hallway, and you can't really classify what is right and what is not since they're all different clothes. Honestly, people are more likely to be able to get away without uniforms. With uniforms, you can say, "This is how you're supposed to wear it, and how you're not supposed to wear it."

i am pro uniforms... it number oen eliminates the teasing if one has really ugly clothes or somehting... that's one of the reasons social classes form... it's first impression + last impression = lasting impression... any way... it will also do away with the need to pick out what u going to wear for the next day... though i dont like the idea the girls should wear skirts... they should wear things more casual... not too formal... just like a tee and jeans

Kathleen personally I think you would look great in the Garb of the Red Army.

My friend wears them and she looks hot.... but then it would get old wearing the same stuff...

NOOO WAY!!! everyone is gonna look the same... which is kinda boring... stores will lose money.. since we're not gonna shop alot... and yeh you need to show your induviduality...

What's so boring about looking the same? You rather see school kids wearing sexy/slutty clothes to be... "different" or "special"?

There are OTHER ways to express individuality than just looking different. It's shallow to judge a person only by their appearances.

heck no!!! not for the uniforms but because i had to rite like 20 essays on this subject alredy!!!!

girls in uniform all the way!

Being the same is boring, looking the same is boring. I'm not so much for the individuality/creative side but i don't want to wear the exact outfit as someone else.



Yeah it is shallow, but that is what you see first.

I don't mind wearing the same as someone else because I can be confident that if they make fun of what I wear, I can make fun of them right back.



Yes, I would see a decent school with and I would know for sure that at least these kids don't get made fun of labled by their peers for what they wear.

Oh sure, at my old school where we had "uniforms" people didn't make fun of you before if you didn't wear the "right" clothes. They mad fun of you if you weren't clean. Even with uniforms people can look dirty and that was what people got made fun of for. But it went past the clothes, into who they were and if you were lame then people made fun of you not your clothes

I rather be judged by my character than by my appearance. If I wear dirty uniform, well then that means I'm unkempt. That sort of thing speaks for itself.

When I was wearing uniforms, I couldn't go out of the house with a little wrinkle on my skirt; everything had to be perfect. It's hassle, sure, but it'll teach kids things, such as keeping oneself clean.

yeah then not every1 wuld dress like a bunch of sluts in the 6th grade...its EW....i think uniforms r fine but sume schools...they make u wear ur hair at certain lenght, certain way,etc. thats not rite

You should have to wear Roman Legionaire Helmets.

I'd say, no way unless there was a lot of gang activities in that particular school. Oh, strike that, they already do that. Dress codes for peace.

I agree with uninspiredfae, trends don't really show individuality. Walk into my junior high and you see every one basically wearing either jeans or shorts. Then, look at their shirts, and they're the typical t-shirt or whatever. Not alot of individuality. It's not like one person is wearing a miniskirt, and another is wearing a sweater with curses all over it. There really isnt very much individuality. I mean, how many of you dont have a pair of jeans at home?
Comradered, you're silly.

What if we make everyone dress differently according to class rank?

If it's a school uniform, it can't be different. Can it?
Well, I'm going to Brearley next year, and tehy let us wear a plain top with a collar, any color, and a navy blue skirt.

Haha what? And the last fifty people get to wear brown, nappy rags?

Great idea, I love it.

The top 10% should wear Imperial Tunics and Togas.
The next 10% get Centurion Armor.
Then the next 20% get regular Legionaire Armor.
The 20% after that get regular Togas
The next 20% after that wear Barbarian dress
Then the second-to-last 10% wear servants' uniforms
The bottom 10% have to wear loincloths and toil in the fields as slaves!

like i said before i don't agree with the whole individual aspect, but my school(obviously different from ANY other school everything is backwards, itz kinda of a do what you feel like school)
Within the girls there is differences in clothes. The guys all dress the same but not the girls, you have your:
Hoochie
Sluts
Hoochie's with taste
People who just ALWAYS dress nice
Casual cute
Casual
BUM

So there is some type of indivuality in clothing and clothing styles

Actually I changed my mind. It should be different Nazi military uniforms based on class rank, with badges for SAT scores:

Top 20%: Black SS Uniform
Next 20%: Luftwaffe Flight Suit
Middle 20%: Panzerknight Uniform
Lower 20%: Regular Brown Wehr-M42 or M44
Bottom 20%: Russian POW Clothes

And you get like an Iron Cross Second Class for a 1200, an Iron Cross First Class for a 1300, a Knight's Cross for a 1400, and a Knight's Cross with Olive Branch for a 1500.

Erm, what if there are girls in this rank... they'd be topless

They get top cloths too...

Haha...well, I suppose I should take my intelligence and the stupidity of my classmates for granted.
