Uniforms for school, what do you think of them? Options

[megan46]

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?

[HelloSunshine]

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

[leeniex3]

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

[cocoalightning27]

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

[Shattered_Hope]

I HATE uniforms...so uncomfortable.

[yukichan]

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..

[sweetdreamsx3]

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

[FLIPxADDICTION]

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

[angelrevelation]

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

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

[lilphoenix]

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

And we hate it. Pretty obvious why.

Trade places?

[xj_liana_tx]

my opinion is same as yours, but i still prefer no uniforms

[xXirockhardXx]

My school has uniforms. Its ok dosent really bother me cuz there are cute pants and shirts to wear as uniforms. lol.

[Spirited Away]

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.

[Just_Dream]

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.

[alienchik]

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.

[dani41790]

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

[x3mszcheyzee]

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]

[lovescream]

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.

[WhiteLotus*]

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.

[lilnatcat]

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]

[whomps]

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.

[flyonthewall4590]

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.

[iheartsimba]

moved to fashion

i wouldn't mind, it would save me some money on buying clothes. i wouldn't want some really ugly one though..

[racoons > you]

we have a hideous uniform. im kinda used to it now...

i dont lik ehaving uniforms.... i think it stifles reativity and selfexpression.

bt o well

[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. but i don't think we should be people think that is take away from our freedom.

[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.

[mysticalazxn]

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

[urbanychic]

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.

[[4]eternity]

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!

[KrunkMuzik]

HATE them! I had to wear em in my Junior High years. we wore dark navy blue pants with a baby/sky blue polo shirt. Tugged in shirt, with black shoes & belt. lol Im glad High School aint like that.

[thait3n]

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

[SkaironFrenzy]

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.

[Litobabygurl88]

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..
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.

[DORKalicious]

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.

[d0rkbaby]

i like uniforms cause there are some girls that are ... yea anyways and they wear wayyyyyy to little clothing or they wear clothing that is 100000000000x too small for them. kinda gross (not trying to be mean but its true) atleast for uniforms if they tried to get a small size in the uniforms the teachers could say something about it.
and i like them cause my friends are always teased about what they wear or they blame the reason why guys dont notice them is cause of the clothes they wear. so i think that if we had uniforms and everyone was the same that they would have more self confidence.
maybe if we had uniforms we could have like casual friday or something

[5ayuri]

we have to wear uniforms at my school it sucks!
but next year i wont have to cuz im going to High School

[CUTEBUNNY160]

ionno i really dont care.

[to-devastate]

School uniforms should die.
Dressing your own way shows your own style and your personality. Uniforms totally ruin it. And also. Uniforms are expensive; and you had to buy it, you'd have to buy atleast like 2 uniforms for the whole week. If the uniform was like $30 for one, and you had to buy 2.. it's $60. And what if you had like 2 sisters that also need uniforms?

[mickybeans]

^ i agree, uniforms can get pretty expensive.. >__<

My old school had to wear uniforms but then after I moved, the only thing that I had to do was tuck in my shirt. My principal at my highschool now wants to enforce the dress code and was talking about making us wear uniforms. Personally, I don't see a problem with wearing uniforms- but no matter what people say, I don't think that it affects a student's behavior. My old school, we all wore uniforms but there were more fights there than there is up here.

[gossipgirl]

i'm glad that my sku dont have uniforms.
but i think wearing them are reali dumpy...
Love ya*muah

[f4113n]

ewww uniforms SUCK. my skool has them and i HATE them theyre so ugly...nerdy polos with our ugly skool logo on them but i guess some other skools have better uniforms....

[super_grover08]

blagh... in middle school i used to have to wear them but when i got to high school i was FREE

[c0oki3_m0n$tah]

i guess it'll be boring having uniforms, but then nobody will be able to judge you. maybe people will pay attention to the qualities of other students rather than the appearence. in that case, it'll be good...

but then again..the only days you'll be able to wear normal clothes will be on the weekends and afterschools...

i guess uniforms are good. i wouldn't mind if my school got them.

[Teesa]

I don't think I would like wearing uniforms at my school, but it does have advantages so people can't judge.

[ItzOnlySydney]

they suck ass. UNIFORMS SHOULD DIE! haha our school keeps saying they r gonna getr ythem but nobody ever does anyhting about it

[*basick*]

we had expieremental uniforms in middle school cause of gang activities in other schools.... i dont like the idea

[jambaJUICE]

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

my school used to have that, free dress every last friday of the month.

but ever since new principal, you gotta earn it, and all these rules came up.
IMO, its not the uniform that sucks -- for anything i like it (i dont have to buy new clothes all the time and worry about if someone's gonna bag on me), it's the school that sucks.

[jaeman]

I like uniforms, well maybe it's because I'm in jrotc.
The fact with uniforms in school is good so there would be no signs of gangs or anything.
Plus, since most people think uniforms are uncomfortable, they should make uniforms simple and comfortable.

[wayne]

uniforms suck..

[nicky04033]

my sku does have uniforms and i reli have them!!! i wish i dun have to wear them to sku....

[ahhniee]

I guess it's okay. Sometimes, it can be a pain..especially when you have to tuck in your shirt. I hate that part...

[zbrittanyz]

I wouldn't mind, but I like expressing my "individuality." But people would find other ways.

[smilePiNAYstyle]

I'm a freshman and I used to wear uniforms in my elementary school. I liked them because you don't have to worry about what to wear because there's only one thing to choose from.

[ilov3chubbs]

i dont like them that much! it doesnt let you express your individuality. lol! luckily i had to only wear uniforms in like the 1st grade.

[jenika]

i dont really care...i think it would save me alot of time though...

[*salcha*]

i wouldn't mind actually.
cuz
+you wouldnt need to spend so much money on clothes
+everyone would be equal
+dont have to spend so much time in the morning picking out an outfit.

[Spirited Away]

ionno i really dont care.

Then don't post? Please?

[twelveislands]

Most schools have uniforms here. I don't really mind them. In the last 2 years of school we didn't have to wear them because they started treating us like were in college so we had a brief idea of what to expect

[lilnatcat]

Lolz!! A lot of you dun like the ideas of uniforms!
But thats alright.

In Australia, all elementary and secondary schools are required to wear uniform. My uniform........well........doesn't look very good. White short sleeve blouse, red tie, grey skirt, white socks...............for Winter, it be the same except can wear pants or stockings so yea..............
But I'm happy, I've coped with wearing different uniforms for my 13th year and after this year, won't need it nymore!

There are the positive thoughts and negative thoughts about having a uniform as I've pretti much seen it all in here! ^^

[angelshortipnai]

i dont like em. i used to wear uniforms when I was still in PI, EVERY student in PI[Philippines] wears uniforms. even if you're in public or private. I don't like em tho

[daintyme]

i like uniforms and sometimes wish that my school had them. i'm sort of tired of figuring out what to wear in the morning and i can put that money towards an apple powerbook g4. or a drawing tablet for photoshop.

[dreamerOi]

some are cute i wouldnt mind having some

[skateforfree]

i think as a student/individual i would hate them, and in jr high u dont need to be an individual but as a person who isnt as rich as the people who are always best dressed and dont have enough money for new clothes for their kids and its hard on a family to try to match something someone else has especaily *sp* when they have little money for their family

im in middle school so it mite be different from you and my life is based on being an individual or something like that

[Animeloverhk93]

My school has uniforms  I like them. No one can treat anybody badly for the way the dress.

I agree!! i am still in elementary school and stuff and we have uniforms everyone is so rude they are like " i hate these stupid uniforms i wish the princable didn't deside this" i'm like heyyyy we are really lucky b/c there are alot of ppl that can jugde u and make u cry just b/c the way u dress! i think it is cute.. u can punch in some accesories to match your uniform and make it look cute on u. i go to school wearing uniform duh lol (a skort and a blue t-shirt) and some wrist bands. with a head band in my hair and some vans on my feet. lol i think it looks actually nice. i got used to it since i had to deal with it for 7 years so far all of those "rude" ppl in my school even started a petition of wearing non uniforms!! i'm like what the heck jeeze can't u wait till the end of school" b/c on the last two days of school we get to wear nonuniform! lol

[eLLiE1017]

i think school uniform can give students a sense of belonging to the school, and in most occupations uniform is needed for easy identification and unitedness...better to have one

[jue]

im kind of in between them. At times i would think its better but then at times i would think that it would just b wrong.

if we did have uniforms for school; then no one would be making fun of anyone's way of dressing and i think less violence would go on. Having uniforms might even increase mny students grades because they wouldnt be so busy studying others way of dressing. Parents wouldnt have to spend so much money on clothes since they wouldonly need to buy two+ pairs of the uniforms for the kids to wear.

But then if we do have uniforms; we wouldnt have the freedom of choosing they way we would want to dress and all of our clothes that we had; it would go to waste. And some religions they have specific types of ways of dressing; some religions wouldnt allow someone to show their bodie parts but then somene uniforms would require to how legs and stuff.

[toodlepops.]

My school has uniforms, they're okay. But sometimes it gets too hot like bleh.

[ItzOnlySydney]

i hope we don't get them lol.

[yupimchuck]

I've had to go to a school with uniforms.
The teachers will still pick on ou about how you're wearing something. So wil te othr kids.
and really, it's no fun because you can't express your individuality.

[Spirited Away]

And once again, if you can only express individuality and/or creativity through the clothes you wear, you're not very unique and creative in the first place.

Uniforms doesn't hinder individuality, they force you all to find novelties in self-expression.

[neko]

When i was little, i hated uniforms. but i regret that now. I kinda wish my school had uniform. I pretty much dress in a 'uniform' everyday. pants/jeans. with collered shirt/polo.

and i agree. if the only way you show originality is by the clothes you wear, thats not very.. original?

yep. but I'm in a public school. I have never heard anyone, even parents, say that they wanted uniform. so i dont think thats gonna happen here. =P

[Biblesterr743]

i think uniforms are good. and this is coming from a public school student.

[littlewhite]

My school has dress code and it doesn't bother me much, the dress code is pretty flexible.
Uniforms might be too uncomfortable, no dress code would make some people (especially girls) wear too exposed clothes, so dress code (it is like between uniforms and no dress code) would be the best.

[br0kenINSIDE_91]

uniforms suck!!!!! period.

[ANG33ZY]

I'm okay with it if my school choose to have uniforms
but i don't see that ever happening. so that's cool too right.

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

Kate wears a uniform. This is a picture on my school's website of some kids (who have all graduated) in our uniform. We were them everyday unless we do something spectaclar, then we don't have to wear them. I guess they're ok, not horribly uncomfortable, however as you can see by this picture, it's a campus. It gets COLD and the school jackets only help but so much

so, i'm anti-uniform.
