My school doesn't have uniforms but sometimes i feel that we should get them. I mean no one would judge anyone else. And you wouldn't have to decide what your wearing every day. But I also feel that we express ourselves by what we are wearing. And it would be a pain the wear the same thing every day. But that's just my opinion. So what do you guys think?

My school has uniforms _smile.gif I like them. No one can treat anybody badly for the way the dress.. but there's a topic like this..oh wells...

i dont mind uniforms because .. the skirts arent that bad ... but we should also be able to express ourselves with uniforms so i guess to me its 5o/5o

Shouldn't this be in Debate?

Uniforms take away all of our freedoms....gay colors too..
_sarcastic_
i prefer to have uniforms, that way you don't have to be judged or judge others by their dressing, and you won't have to wake up so early to think of what to wear

I HATE uniforms...so uncomfortable. _dry.gif

my skool has uniforms and it kinda sucks..the only part that is the uniform is the shirt...its kinda strange...well i say its good and bad to have uniforms..the good part is u wont get judged by the clothes u wear..the bad part is we cant really express ourselves by clothing..

We don't have school uniforms anymore, but we do have dress code rules...

i think it would really be boring wearing the same looking clothes to school everyday.

yup i agree. as long as they aren't like all stuffy or weird... i only have uniforms for PE and orchestra, and they aren't that bad. it's good to have uniforms for PE so your normal clothes dont get all sweaty

We have uniforms. Navy blue/white or khaki only.

And we hate it. Pretty obvious why.

Trade places?

If anyone would like to debate about it, then please go to the debate forum where there is an existing thread about school uniforms.

Uniforms are great. Creativity and individuality can be expressed in many other ways.

I had uniforms back in middle school. But then again, it wasn's strict, since you could wear any regular navy blue pans and a white shirt with a small logo. One could wear a variety of different colored jackets/sweaters.

If my school ever had a uniform policy, they should hav a free-dress day every friday or something. wink.gif

sometimes i think we need them. my friends will pick on some people if they dont have the same brand or "nice" clothes on. I dont think the uniforms will make a difference on it because sometimes the clothes set us apart they sorta tell what our personality is about.

i went to a school that had uniforms before. i hated it. i like individuality

For me, Uniforms are pretty tight. They prevent the whole " Oh my, gosh! that outfit is so last year " & it helps you save up money. Plus, You get to sleep longer. Because you're not wasting your time, worry-ing what to wear. =]

But then again, they shouldn't overdo the uniform. For example, jackets&socks. Crap, my school has that. The horror. [sigh]

I support your opinon, but I don't at the same time.
Uniforms are a great way of letting people not judge other people by the way they dress, though they still do by their hair, and the way they look. =x

I dont agree because us kids need the freedom to be fashionable and creative about what we wear everyday.

I'm 50/50 on this. Sure, I like picking out what clothes to wear, but it would be cool if we had Japanese school uniforms at my school. I mean, I wouldn't spend close to an hour figuring out what to wear.

Besides, half the kids in my school just throw on whatever is clean. You can express your creativity somewhere else like in art and writing.

My school has uniforms, junior uniform and a senior uniform~

I like my senior uniform(white short sleeved button up shirt, a red tie and grey skirt), it looks pretti good compared to some others I've seen around. It also saves big bucks for me. I don't have to buy clothes that often~
We sometimes have non-uniform days so I guess it doesn't suck all that bad.....
Wishful_Dream
i don't like uniforms. actually, i hate them. but that's just me. i like wearing whatever i want to wear. x)
krazzyxdreamer
we have a strict dress code, kinda like very flexible uniforms. but i don't care, i've worn uniforms my whole life.
i think lenient uniforms would be nice, not too strict on everything.
bad_girl
i love my uniform x]. it's like a white collared shirt n a beige/brown-ish skirt w/folds. lol it's kinda cute n the most u can only make ur skirt 10cms or so off ur knees. but no one cares so everyones skirts r really, really short. x]

Sometimes I think about the benefits of having uniforms.. and then I think of how much I actually like choosing what I where. I remember having uniforms back in my OLD elementary school, I can't remember them being that horrible but they were pretty ugly.
angelbaby317
My school has uniforms. I really don't mind it. And its not like we where them all the time. We DO have days where we can wear our own clothes. And the uniform skirts are a blast, cause a girl can always look cute in them. Its like wearing a regular plaid skirt.

i don't think my school would ever get uniforms...every dresses so differently and has original style, we would probably riot...
XxSpitBubblexX
My school has uniforms, khaki or black non jean pants, work boots, a belt *no florescent colors* and the green polo shirt. I love it becuase it takes me 5 minutes toget ready in the morning, but then again it would be nice to be able to express ourselves. We don't get to wear skirts and we have a gym uniform as well. But that is becuase we are a technology school and we work in labs with heavy machinery. But I guess I am lucky becuase on Fridays we can wear ANY shirt we have that pertains to the school, like shirts that you buy at the dance or at prom. And once a month we have dress down days where you can wear whatever you want for a dollar.

heyyfrankie
at my middle school, we had to wear uniforms. but then they got rid of them because over 50% of our school was not wearing them. but at now i am in high school and i think that sometimes we need them. because some people dress really bad and stuff like that. _dry.gif but i don't think we should be people think that is take away from our freedom. rolleyes.gif
toodlepops.
my school has uniforms. much easier, if you ask me. ;)
stephinika
its alright. i'm used to it...my elementary schools had them and the high school i'm at has them too. they're not that bad. no decisions for what to wear in the morning and no judgements and what not and we do get our days when we can wear what we want.

i like uniform for school
just like the japanese high school student.

hm. i was fortunate to not go to school where uniforms were required, but i had to write a paper on my stand on it. For an creative basis, it isn't fun because you can't express your 'individuality', however, you can express it in other ways than just how you dress AND you can express that when schools out and on weekends. Another point is that your parents save a LOT of money not having to buy new clothes so quickly and often because you wear uniforms. I do agree with having a free dress down day, that would be great. But if you look at it this way, as soon as you are done with school, you'll never have to wear a uniform again and you have the rest of your life to express yourself to everyone in the world! NOW that's great. tongue.gif

I don't wear uniforms...
love-issosweet
i want uniforms so NO ONE would judge how you dress but then you can't show off your cute top and jeans that you just bought! tongue.gif

-Hisses!- I had a super bad experience with uniforms from Preschool to 5th Grade...

well i wore uniforms in middle school. it was pretty god cuz you save A LOT of money and people cant joke you about your clothes except your tie(but i wasnt worried about being joked about my clothes or anything). But uniforms has its cons, you get tired of it and when u want to go out to the mall or something like in a friday u'll have to go all the all home and change.
freeflow
when i was in elementry scholl i wished that we got uniforms !iono y but now .. i am glad that we dont have uniforms cuz then i would really really get tired of them ..
christiee_nax
oh i wouldnt mind having uniforms. i used to have them in my old school. at least you dont have to have the hassle of having to buy new clothes all the time and stuff.
kokosofly
My school has uniforms. I've worn em all my life, so I'm used to it. It's not that bad... and we have a lot of down days throughout the year.

My School doesn't have uniform

(thank god)

but I would mind, either way just as long as I have clothes to wear
imenlightened
i think it would be great to have uniforms becaue nobody could make fun of someone else because of what they're wearing: they'd be insulting themelf! also my mom wouldn't yell at me to hurry up when i'm trying to decide what to wear.. cool.gif
currently though my school doesn't have uniforms.
shawty_redd
i used to wear a uniform for like 3 years

it was alright but i dont really remember it
alli
my school doesnt have them...but i want them.. i think it would just be better..u would save soo much money on clothes.
xhelena
you make the point that there is a good and a bad of school uniforms.
but i dont like school uniforms... my school doesnt have any.
we get to express ourselves with what we are wearing but we do have to follow the dress code--- like no other peircings other than on the ear, not too much makeup, no rude of offensive clothing or clothing that promote drugs sex alcohol, no stuff that are too revealing.... etc.
mylittle__pony
i want uniforms. i would get to sleep in longer, and I wouldnt have to worry what I would wear the next day.

it would be sweet.

I think they are good as an equalizer. But its important to express individuality, the way we dress helps us find who we are and develop some style.
