Schools Should Have Uniforms
Is it in the student's best interest or the adults?

I agree with Moreno. Uniforms provide more focus, or at least less distraction. It is one less thing children would have to deal with in their school day. Kids have changed a lot, and even pretty young kids are conscious of their attire. When i was in grade school, a boy in the fifth grade or below couldn't give a whit about his clothing, and now this has changed a lot.

Yes, and I speak from personal experience. Being made fun of because I didn't have the most up to date shoes or wearing non name brand clothes and shoes. It was a horrible experience in the land of brand name clothing. With uniforms it takes the focus away from silly issues as not having Nike shoes that are less than 6 months old.

Schools should definitely have uniforms. A uniform is something by which schools are differentiated and also every school is having a unique feature in their uniform which makes them look so good. Schools should have uniform because it is a part of the discipline that the schools must follow and these schools should also impart the same discipline in their students. A student must be made to realize that certain things are required in order to become well mannered and cultured. Besides education a school must look into matters like uniform, attendance and other issues which make a student properly understand that in order to become something good, all these matters are equally important. With the schools having uniforms, students learn to maintain the discipline of wearing them for a prolonged period of 12 or more years and understand its importance. Thus schools should have uniform.

Yes students should have uniforms because as potter said some kids are less fortunate then others and if all the kids around you were wearing really nice clothes wouldn't the kid be embarrassed

I am for it because some people have more money than other people so they can get much nicer clothes than others. And sorry boys, but I personally don't like ladies in bikinis coming to school. But were talking about uniforms within reason, not ugly shirts, and dresses, ect.

Yes, because if schools have uniforms, there's no way anyone can dress inappropriately.

No they shouldn't. By allowing kids to wear what they want, you are allowing them to express themselves and their personal style. You shouldn't take that away from them

A dress code is nice, so butt cracks and belly buttons aren't hangin' out, but it's good for a child to have choices in what he wears.

Teachers never wear their uniforms so why should we have to wear a uniform?Why should we have to go shopping?Why should we have to wear a white shirt with black tight pants.

I think people should not wear school uniforms because they cost to much

Where's the individualism? Students deserve to be able to express themselves.

I think not. Allowing the kids to choose what they wear provides a way to express themselves.

It is guaranteed under the charter that we are allowed the freedom to live, prosper and be creative. By enforcing a dress code it is squashing everything that the charter stands for while also destroying a chance for growing teenagers to express who they are and what they are about

I go to a school that currently uses uniforms, and even though they aren't that bad, mostly work shirts and rugby shirts, i still feel people should have the option of freedom of expression. Granted there still should be a dress-code, i don't need to see the ass crack every teenage boy out there. Free to choose for ourselves, just within reason

No, No, And A Big NO. First, it squashes a student's creativity. People feel good being able to express their individuality through their unique styles.

The are many schools with no uniform that still strongly enforce staying in dress code.

Discipline and Importance? That's a laugh. You'd see a kid wearing Hollister and say that would distract him and make him petty/trivial being so caught up in what he's wearing. Funny
