The advantages to having uniforms at school are 1.) you can cut down on laundry cost. 2.) having to not buy school clothes is a great cost saving for large and low income families. 3.) time savings for single and working parents as you don't have to shop as much or spend time picking out clothes for your children to wear. 4.) allows for children to feel equal and may help their self esteem issues by not having to feel as if their clothing is up to par with the rest of the students. \n\nSome disadvantages are 1.) takes away from the students individualism and creativity. and 2.) The wounds created by teasing can be greater as the easiest thing to make fun of (a child's clothes) is taken away. \n\nI went to private school all through elementary and had the option of going to public school for high school. After the novelty of not having to wear a uniform wore off, I wished I could go back to wearing uniforms and not have to pick out clothes every day or have to go back to school shopping for clothes and supplies. Also, in high school, I had to buy my own clothes, uniforms would have been much cheaper,

although uniforms are put in place to protect poorer students from ridicule based on their lack of designer clothes or recent trends, in my experience this fails...miserably\n\neven though everyone has the same uniform, people can still incorporate designer wear into it...for example black trousers and black shoes, to most at my school, means black Armani jeans and prada shoes...the bags are designer too and often the coats. even though there is a uniform it is still clear who has money and who doesn't...so this argument is null and void\n\nto add to this i find it disturbing that individuality is crushed and freedom of expression through ones clothing is prevented. We should not be encouraged to follow the crowd or become a militant cloned like society!\n\nanyone who values freedom and individuality would oppose uniform.

Agreed with the general sentiments about it.  There's too many teams moving to "red'ish" uniforms.  The look like a combo between the Nationals & Astros.  I thought their purple and greenish/aqua color scheame was very fresh and unique.  \n\nIf there is anything positive to say about it, I think their aways are okay; not great, but okay.  Here's a thought for an original look in red.  Why don't any of these teams wear the red pin stripes with the grey aways.  I think that would look pretty unique, and fresh.  ...the D-Backs should have done that.

Depending on the cost, it may be easiest to expense the uniforms.  This type of thing would probably be a depreciable asset rather than one you amortize.  \n\nFor depreciation, you'll need to follow IRS guidelines on depreciable property.  In a nutshell, you'll need to know 2 key things -- 'basis' and 'useful life'.\n\nBasis is essentially the cost of the uniforms.  Useful life is how long the uniforms will be 'in service'.  To depreciate, you essentially do:\n   basis / useful life = periodic depreciation expense.

The green uniform is their second uniforms for away games, seen that they are playing at home they will wear their white strip shirts which happens to be their 1st uniforms. PurpleJ.. I hope that helps you with your question(good one) in understanding the rules of Football, sometimes both teams have the same colour strip uniforms therefore the away team must use there 2 or 3 uniforms which in Germany case is the Red uniform.

I agree. It add the discipline to the kids, add a sense of united and eliminated the difference between kids. It also make you look good, feel good and feel young.\nBesides, if the uniform is cute/cool, doesn't it make a good memories when you're older?

I don't know anything about the new Navy Uniform but if it is anything like the new Army Uniform, it comfortable and great for the garrison.  It will fall apart when you go to the field.

Casual dress days are an attempt at incorporating some amount of 'fun' into the workplace.  People are more motivated to work and stay with a company they perceive to be more fun.  But I agree.  I would not think it would be the most productive thing to have casual dress days if you work in an envirnment that requires protective gear.

There should be a degree of a dress code. Alot of the coaches dress looking good for being on the sideline. So just make those last 2 or 3 dress resonable as well.

I believe that yes, they should. For me it would be a convenience issue more than anything- you don't have to worry about the "latest fashion", you don't have to plan your outfits, and there's no need to spend a lot of money on clothes. You can still wear what you want when you go out with friends, and you can still personalize a uniform with whatever jewelry is allowed or whatever. It's just a lot easier on the students and on faculty, because there isn't so much worry about dress code.\n\nAlso, have you ever noticed that it only seems to be the "cool" or "popular" kids who are against uniforms? It seems silly that in a place where you go to learn you have to worry about if you look cool or if the rich kids are making fun of you for not wearing designer labels. Uniforms are definately a good idea.

I don't think there should be a uniform policy in public schools. They say kids in uniforms are better behaved and after working a year in an elementary school that requires uniforms, I learned that just isn't true. They're the same kids, only in uniform. Uniforms are pointless. Uniforms don't change the ways kids act, a juvenile delinquent in a uniform is still a juvenile delinquent.

This is totally doing your homework for you, and its so easy!  Go to yahoo news and do a search on dress codes, newspaper.  Go to the libary and look for a book on self-esteem, they will always talk about how important it is to look and feel good, and project your true self.  That is a great source for wearing what you want.  And website...try a blog where someone has written about how much it sucks to have to wear a uniform.  It is personal and online.  Good luck

Uniforms are usually voted on by either the school board or the PTA, or both. There are several reasons many schools propose uniforms: \nThere is less competition among the children in dress. \nLess distinction between the 'haves' and 'have nots'\nFewer distractions with a uniform appearance\nLess hassle for parents trying to get kids ready for school\nThe teaching staff AND parents are not constantly having to police the dress code\nWith a uniform, there are no baggy jeans, knee length shirts (both of which can easily conceal weapons), super short skirts, belly shirts, etc which constantly have to be addressed by the staff.

Dress codes would be good for self esteem of some students.  It would remove the provocative dress styles inspired by MTV.

Your uniform speech does not have to be limited to school uniforms. Think of the military or the Boy Scouts for example. Uniforms immediately identify an individual as belonging to a particular group. During disasters, this identification is crucial in separating disaster workers, insurance claims specialists, and volunteers, from looters or other undesirables. \n\nUniforms are required for members of a government's military. It helps define the difference between POW's (who are entitled to Geneva Protections) and Enemy Combatants (who do not get Geneva Protections). During Viet Nam, select groups of US Special Forces went into Cambodia and Laos to wage war on the Viet Cong. Since the US was not engaged in a war with those countries, our soldiers had to wear camouflage that did not contain any US marking; hence if they were captured, they would have been treated as terrorists and could have been executed. The US could not avow for their activities. \n\nAnd remember, uniforms do not have to be uniform--in other words, rank insignia is used to identify those with different amounts of experience; merit badges show different skills attained by the wearer. \n\nFinally, uniforms does not need to consist of clothing at all--oversees, a simple armband with a Red Cross on identifies the wearer as a Red Cross worker.

on a Marine's uniform?\n\nits a blood strip and NCO's and officers wear it to symbolize the large about of officers and NCO's that died in a great battle (90%), Chpultepec, in the spanish american war.\n\nEDIT: i could go on and explain that in the battle of chapultapec, the attack was a join effort between the army and Marines.  The MArines were given the toughest route to the fort/castle, up steep hills, which resulted in the large loss of life.  But as i said before the 90% of officers and NCO's that died led  to the blood strip, or the red strip worn on the dress blue uniform.\n\nEdit: spelled the city name wrong the first time
