SCHOOL UNIFORMS.......yes or no

I think it will help for some people, although with others it won't make a difference. The guys who wear their pants sagging down to their knees will no longer be able to offend people. And the females who are barely dressed will not be bothering the young minds who need to be concentrating on other things. LOL

I went to the same Catholic school my kids go to. I wore a uniform. Plaid jumper, white shirt, black shoes and white, black or navy blue socks. Occasionally we got to "splurge" on free dress days and wear something like khakis and a polo shirt.

20 years later, my kids are wearing the same outfit. Plaid jumper for my daughter and blue pants for my son. They both have to wear shite shirts, black shoes and whtie, navy or black socks. They can wear a plain colored jacket during the winter, but no hoods, no caps and no hats. Gloves are okay as long as they match the jacket.

No one feels left out in the school due to their clothes. Everyone wears the same outfit. No one is made fun of because their jeans are dirty or aren't from a "name brand" store such as Abercrombie or Limited. Everyone has to wear black shoes. It's either loafers for the boys or Mary Janes for the girls. When my youngest daughter gets old enough, she'll go there too and have the same uniform.

I used to wear uniform when I was in gradeschool and highschool and I think it's better than having to wear casual clothes evryday. Uniforms are way cheaper and as you mentioned, it gives no distinction between the upper and lower class students.

I agree with you . I prefer to have uniforms in school . No discrimination between low class and high class . However, the uniform should be comfortable for all students . And the style is changed flexibly in winter and summer .

In my opinion, uniforms doesn't prove equality and I don't see how it makes students better in grades. I wore a uniform when I was in elementary school. There was still a bit of discrimination. There was some of my classmates who got bullied and some others are left alone with no friends. No matter how hard you try, it always happens. What is more important is how the parents and teachers give the education to the children. My teachers have taught us that racism was wrong and smoking is a waste of monney and very bad for health. So we grow up keeping this in mind. I don't smoke and I met my old classmates later on they still are non smokers and not racist. I think these kind of things are more important. I moved to another town for my last grade in elementary school and we had no uniform. The classmates were still very friendly and and there was bo discrimination between the poor and rich. So maybe it depends on the area but the uniform didn't affect me at all.

Yes I think kids should have uniforms but not the traditional plaid skirt white shirt for girls and green or blue paints white shirt for boys kind.

I think uniforms should be jeans and a soild color shirt with sleeves (not long sleeve just a sleeve). That way kids still get to pick out what they are wearing but with limitations. Accessiors should be allowed too. Belts, any shoes, scarfs and so on.

Yes I think it would make life easier if you didn't have to school clothes shop as much. It would be cheaper too. I think it would help kids to not be seen as "rich" or "poor".

No I don't think it will make people be treated equal directly. But indirectly it would help with teasing.

Here in the Bahamas, school uniforms are mandatory.
From kindergarden to high school public and private wear uniforms.
I think uniforms are an economically sound choice, because they can be worn for a longer time versus having to buy a whole wardrobe.And children who would otherwise be teased because of their clothes, will not because everyone wears the same thing.I think it's cheaper for them to wear the same thing, i buy my daughters two skirts and five shirts each year and my boys get three pants and five shirts.But thats just my opinion, and seeing that it's always been that way it's all thye know.

I think school uniforms are great. My son has only been in one school that didn't have uniforms and that was only for a brief time frame. I can tell you that uniforms make life super easy in the morning, no worry about what to wear. You can get the shorts and pants so cheap, it has to save people money. I am sure most kids are like mine, he doesn't even change when he gets home so that saves me on clothing year round.

School uniforms may be good to avoid the difrences between people... rich/poor but i wouldn't go to a school that makes you wear a uniform.... i rather choose my own style.

I think it would be easier because they have to wear same thing everyday.My daughter changes clothes everyday so if she has a uniform she won't spend as many clothes in a week.I will definitely say yes if school would implement having a school uniform.It looks formal and descent to wear one also.
