school uniforms Options

[juliar]

Should school uniforms be a definitely in schools?

[*Kathleen*]

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.

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.

[Blueiyzboy]

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

[LiNHy POO]

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...

[Spirited Away]

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.

[lilaznkkid]

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

[tkproduce]

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.

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.

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

[ComradeRed]

You should have to wear Roman Legionaire Helmets.

[AmesBond]

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.

[ComradeRed]

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

[juliar]

What if we make everyone dress differently according to race?

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.

[*Kathleen*]

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

[ComradeRed]

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

[ComradeRed]

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

[ComradeRed]

They get top cloths too...

[*Kathleen*]

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