School Uniforms On Public Schools Should Be Illegal In The Us
I am currently an 8th grader at a public middle school. Now this coming from a kid u would expect this from a kid but I'm not that way. I'm only bias because i believe in what i say our original dress code from last wasn't strict enough i agree but what they did went a who 100 steps up. Like if i was in kindergarten the went strate to 12th grade. I am not able to express any of my feelings or personality. My life has litarly gone dead. 8thgrade would have been the best year of my life.

That would basically be government control of how you dress. Students don't have enough civil liberties as it is.

Well, in a sense yes. I am doing a class debate, and i am going against school uniforms, mainly because it totally breaks Amendment 1... And because they're all... Dare i say it... SKIRTS *shivers* And because they don't allow females to wear ties... Totally retarded!!! I love to wear ties even though I'm female, it's just my sense of style.

 plus the ties are safety hazards, they can get caught in bike tires, stepped on, caught on fire, etc.

It should be illegal in the us because kids should have the right to wear whatever they want.

Take note, I took this from a similar debate. It is my own comment though and is not taken from anyone else:

When school uniforms were put into action, several positive effects occured- student safety increased 62%, school spirit 72%, and classroom discipline 79%. And most importantly- concentration on school work rose 67%.

Uniforms also lower the amount of bullying that kids receive.

And on a side note, 8th grade the best year of your life? Heck no. 8th grade was miserable for me, and I can only assume 9th grade will be worse...

 And so far, 9th is sucking even more than 8th! Enjoy it while you can, kid!

The way some kids dress (or undress) these days is appealing ! A little bit of decency would be welcomed.
To have an uniform or, at least, a code dress, is a good idea. To ban uniforms is an overkill.

Whether it is a public school or any other, a school uniform should be a must factor everywhere. There are many things related to a school uniform, firstly every school has its own separate uniform and this is what distinguishes them from each other. Apart from these a school uniform is required for children to wear up to a certain level because it helps in incorporating discipline within the student. A student realizes the importance of his or her uniform and how it is related to the school. So if by any way uniforms in public schools are being made illegal then all these issues will be affected. By wearing a school uniform a student understands that in order to grow up in a well mannered and cultured way, one must follow certain discipline since childhood and that is what finally helps them to have a better future.

 you realize i can tell who gets there uniforms from a thrift store or not. us kids CAN tell. even if somehow the kid had brand new clothes you can still tell they were poor. see i think last year when we didn't have uniforms the should have unforced bullinging more and all the reasons for uniforms. the should have tried before the did what they did. they just were too stupid to understand
