Should students have a right to choose whether they wear a school uniform at the

Uniforms have been a part of school climate and culture for many, many years. More times than not, there has been an LSC (or some other parent organization or tradition), or the principal who decides what students wear to school. Do you think students have a right to choose, if they should wear school uniform or something else? Provide evidence to support your claim.

I think students shouldn't because that certain uniform your looking for might not be there, So then your have to go all around town looking for that uniform. I know this because I'm a student at Beasley and my school colors are green, yellow, and white with black shoes. Now all the other schools have black and blue and some red, So all the school stores would have by my house are black and blue. Then now I have to go all the way downtown to the LOOP and look for my uniform and hours would have passed. That's why I think students should have the options because it would make shopping easier.

Students should have a right to decide to wear school uniform or not at the school.

For those who say it shows class inequality between rich and poor, lets be honest the

students nowadays already know what is their social standing,they do live a life outside school where

they have plenty of opportunities to see the difference.Instead of shielding them its better to let

them accept it and move on as they will have to eventually.Allowing to regular clothes will help

them to blend in their skin and make the most of their life

Students should wear uniforms. Wearing uniforms show a sign of unity. According to research wearing uniforms may be a stepping stone to get rid of violence in schools by showing that what really matters inside. Also wearing uniforms is practice for when they get their job and have to wear uniforms there. Wearing uniforms also help: Improve learning, save time and money, and promote a sense of teamwork.

Yes. I say they should because it doesn't express who the students really are. Shoes won't really express who the students are so what will. Some shoes they don't even allow in school. Some hairstyles aren't even allowed in schools either! Students shouldn't wear uniforms because uniforms are expensive which parents have to keep buying each year when their kid could wear something out of the clothes in their closets or drawers. If bullying is why uniforms were enforced it will not stop bullies. They can still bully you about your pants being too short or your shirt being too long. So I think students should be able to choose whether they should wear uniforms or not.

I believe that students should be able to choose their own uniform . I say this because a student regular cloths can express the way they may feel . Wearing a uniform may look educated but people have bad experience in their uniforms . Parents and teachers may disagree but most doesn't . This is why students should have this right to choose .

Yes i do think students should wear uniform. I say this because the uniforms aren't just for acknowledging that your a Beasley Bee with the Green, White, and Yellow. Its for scouting us out, and for i big field trip for example a carnival of some sorts, its for making sure that we are all together and no one ran away or got lost, and if someone did we would be able to find them because we know that the kid/student is wearing either Green, White, or Yellow. Also i think we should wear uniforms because like i stated before, its to be proud to be at Beasley and to know that we are a Bee by wearing these colors. Plus not only students wear uniforms All sport players do as well to make sure who's on their team so they wont pass or throw the ball to their opponents.

Yes,i do think students should have the right to choose whether they wear a school uniform at school because they clothes may not be clean and they wont go to school wearing dirty clothes so then they would have to wear something else that is not a school uniform.Another example is that kids should have free will to wear what they want so they can stay happy.I can see why somebody would say they shouldn't wear what they want because when they get older they might have a job that might require them to wear a uniform and that they should prepare for it if they get that king of job but i still say they should have free will to wear what ever they want.

Since some students are responsible when they dress out in public I feel as though that students should be able to choose there own uniforms. I say this because some students like to show how smart they are by how they dress so that would mean most of these children will where age appropriate clothing. In most high schools I know that are good that dress out of uniform are schools like ken wood, Whitney young, and Walter Payton these are all good high schools and there students dress appropriate. I can see how teachers can be worried about how students may have inappropriate things or words on there shirts but, the only thing that shows about that person is that he or she doesn't have integrity in there life. My school council has tried to make it that students don't have to were a uniform but the principles have not approved of it yet. I also feel like nobody really follows the rules now so it would make more since for the school to let students be out of uniform on a daily basis.

No. Schools shouldn't have power over what students WEAR. They could also be forced to represent something they don't.

i think students should wear uniforms because it is very easy to get ready for school in the morning and night. And your parents are able to just easily get clean and new uniforms for school.If you actually wear out of uniform everyday, you'll have to get new clothes once in a while because you wouldn't want to wear the same outfit everyday. That really is a waste of money.So i really think that you should wear uniforms to school . its easier to get your clothes out at night. Instead of stressing your self out about what to wear and how you might look when you put the outfits on. So i really do think that you should always wear uniform ,,, for the sake of time.

Yes students should have a right whether they wear uniform or not because students should be able to be unique in their own clothing because that would be their voice. Also it would make students feel like they have a say of what is going on in their school. If the students do want a uniform that's fine because there are some benefits with having school uniform like not having to pick what clothes you're going to wear the next day. But overall it would make students feel comfortable in what they are wearing but not too comfortable.

I think that students should have a choice of whether they should have a choice to wear uniforms or regular clothes. You can express yourself in different combinations of clothes and there are a variety of clothes to choose from. In my opinion, uniforms are getting old and outdated. Other schools are now making exceptions to allow students to dress out of uniform, but I have to wear a uniform. If some high schools have no uniforms then while can't elementary schools have no uniforms. This is the reason I think we should have no uniforms.

I say no because the student's love talking about other and the other student may not have as much fortune as the next student.And the average student parent loves the uniform policy because of financial problem's. and other student mom or dad have the money to do these because with uniform you can buy the pant's big and grow into them or you can buy th hunter green jogger's and they can fit the whole year.

Student should have uniforms because it shows the unity of the school and how well the students work together. Say we go on a field trip and the people look at our behavior then they look at our uniform ,they'll see students with the uniforms and ask what school this is. My point is that if we're acting well, that people will notice the school by the good students in their uniforms. They may think that their child should go to this school because of how well the kids behave and would remember us because of our uniforms.

When students are looking for what to wear in the morning they don't have to waste all their time looking for clothes to wear. They don't have to worry about, "would I look better in this or in this". Also, teachers do not have to worry about students coming to school with inappropriate clothing.

It would save parents time and money not having to search,and buy new clothes for school. With wearing uniforms there would also be a decrease in bullying about the type of clothes a person would be wearing. Uniforms may take away the freedom of what a student wears,but they also take away the distraction of students and their appearance. So I believe that students should have school uniforms.

I think you should wear uniforms because you don't have to buy more clothes to wear and I feel like when you are out of uniform other people have an popularity Contest but when you all have the same clothes on you have nothing to really show off

they should because in this way that don't have to look for there uniform they can go to school with any clothes we want so that our parents wont have to spend money every year because they know that you cant fit it anymore but you will have your own clothes to put on so your mom wont spend anything and you can now make either your parents spend money or not it you choice are you going to say yes or no?

The shouldn't have to wear uniforms because if we just dress in clothes we feel comfortable and they will a better time learning and paying attention in class. Even on field trips they should be able to dress down but this time with a field trip shirt to let them know what group they're in.

If a uniform policy exists then no one should get to be an exception. That's the whole point of having a uniform policy. And if a policy does not exist then they already get to choose. It's that simple.

Or if you're asking should students get to vote which direction as a whole the school goes I'd say no. You're not equipped at school age to make an objective and fair decision as a group. Heck if everything in school was pure democracy you'd just have gym and lunch all day.

I think students should not have the right to choose because in my opinion a uniform makes you look educated.Also on feild trips wearing a uniform will help you find a lost student.

I think they should wear uniforms is because of homeless kids in our schools can blend in with everyone and not be bullied all the time.Schools that do have uniforms have kids talking about the shoes and clothes can make the situation even worse

I think that students shouldn't have the right to choose if they wear uniforms or not because that could lead to bullying about other people's clothes. When we have uniforms, we are all the same so we can't talk about each other. All schools should have school uniforms, so there is equality among the students. I know that people oppose me saying that having no uniforms is comfortable. Let me tell you this then, being "comfortable" can also be a distraction from learning.

I fell as though that student shouldn't wear uniforms.I say this because say for ins tense a individual is poor,this person will have to suffer through the humiliation all day long.Also I feel as though that students shouldn't wear uniforms because before the school year starts parents will be spending a lot of their hard on money on many clothes.

I think students shouldn't get to wear school uniforms because if a person outside the school is wanting to come to the and he get lost no one will be able to identify him because he have no uniform on. The reason I go against going out of uniform is because the cloths will be cheaper instead of looking for lots of outfits you can purchase a couple. Another reason why is because some parents don't have money like that and can't afford to by another and another outfit over and over again just so the kid will not get talked about. This the reason I feel as though kids in school should not be in uniform.

I think students should not wear uniforms because students have their parents buy them all of these expensive clothes and they don't even have a chance to wear them in school. Instead the principal demands student to wear uniforms. The students have to go and tell their parent to get them more clothes when they already have clothes.

I think kids should not have to wear uniform i say this they should be able to express them self and be a different person by showing their personality with wearing different. I also think that there should be no uniform because the colors of some uniform are not for all people and it is very hard to find some colors at the store like the green we wear is very hard to find in the store and this is my .opion on the uniform topic

I think students shouldn't wear uniforms because some might get tired of wearing ugly green color pants and might want to be able to show there style off to their friends or something because they really don't go no where else to show their style off and they probably really like this school but don't like this uniform. so might avoid coming to our school witch we all want more students to come to our number 1 school!

I think that students should not wear uniforms because sometimes students get tired of wearing those hunter green pants and skirts. And also because the students fill better being in style instead of being in uniform.

No they should not.

Rules are called rules for a reason.

Dress codes are called codes.

Not dress choices.

This is not a difficult concept.

Now then........

Having said that, I can say that I'm glad my fiance attended a parochial school where she had to wear that traditional Catholic school girl outfit.

And I'm glad she still has it and it still fits her.

Because I find it incredibly sexy to have her dress up in it before we have sex.

And we play....naiughty school girl gets called into the head master's office and needs a spanking.

LOL

This is one aspect of religion I sort of like.

And provides me yet another chance to stick it to the Catholic Church.

Uhh.....no pun intended.

Uniform should be made compulsory and it should not be left under the hands of the students. Uniform is used to unite the low caste and high caste peoples. If it is left under the hands of students, some students(especially low caste) may have an inferiority complex. Everyone must be treated equally. So uniform is compulsory.

What possible evidence could your students give to support whether uniform should he compulsory? Sociological studies? Maybe followed by a critical analysis of each one? Maybe you are expecting a little much...?
