Well each and every student will be appropriately dressed if you had an uniform policy...\n\nFor example,\nNo Belly shirts, male or female.\nNo low-rider pants male or female.\nNo Inappropriate T-shirts with Sayings on them male or female.\nNo Underwear showing with the lowrider pants male and female.\nNo open toed shoes.\nNo skirts shorter than 2 inches, above the knee.\nNo bra straps showing.\nNo tank tops, male or female.\n\n\nAll I can think of right now...\n\nBut I do agree public schools should institute some sort of uniform policy, the kids dressing is out of control.\n\nThere is plenty of time after school to express ones self as an individual through dress or whatever, School is for learning!!!

In school uniforms these points still apply\n\nConformity - If everyone dresses the same then there should be no competition in the schools.\n\nEasier issuing - If the uniforms are all basically the same then cheaper to buy in bulk and issuing a uniform becomes a matter of sizes.\n\nSchool Pride - A uniform is supposed to show off school pride. A smart, clean uniform is to make a good impression on the community\n\n*  *  *  *  *  *  *\n\nThe problem with uniforms is it just makes students find other ways to show off. Girls hike their skirts and unbutton the blouses. They add accessories like expensive jewelery (watches, necklaces or earrings) to stand out.\n\nGuys bring expensive toys like MP3 players to show off. The status is still there but now it is more pronounced as now the sameness in the uniforms make the differences stand out.\n\nAs for being cheaper, most of the time they are not. A standard school uniform is about $75, but the average kid wears about $50 for their shirt and pants. (Footwear isn't included as a standard uniform piece and isn't included in the average out-of-school wear)\n\nThe school pride thing falls flat in that students are only supposed to wear their uniforms to and from school and for classes. If a student is discouraged from wearing their uniform at any other time, how are uniforms supposed to show school pride?\n\nSo in reality uniforms don't do what they are intended to do, instead they are more expensive for the average student and they help those that want to show off by drawing attention to the expensive accessories. And by not allowing the student to wear the uniform if they want to, the student never shows any school pride outside of school.

Having school uniforms have pros and con;\n\nPros;\n- everyone wear the same attire, no show off, no competition who wear best cloth\n- everyone look the same, no need to spend on fancy stuff just to become the best looking person in school\n- discipline, everyone follow the rule, from the hemline, to the tuck in\n\nCons;\n- you can't cut class, as everyone will immediately know where you are from\n- bland, everyone look the same for the entire school year\n- unflexible, you need to have more than 1 sets of uniform as you need to have your worn uniform laudry\n\nUsually its the private school that requires uniform. Like when we were growing up.

I do agree that you should be allowed to express yourself.  But I also think it would eliminate the need for teens to dress a certain way to fit in.  This way kids would actually get to know the person rather than base their first impression on what clothing they wear. This way the kids who really cant afford the new trendy clothes may be more accepted and have a better school experience.

When my kids' school tried to force my kids into uniforms i went to my 1st school board meeting to argue against this stupid, counter-productive, and morally reprensible action.  Those of us on the anti-uniform side had several good (and a few I admit that weren't so good) reasons not to have uniforms.\n\nThe decision of what the uniforms look like can NEVER be universally agreed upon. The final decision well come down to  a very few people, who then put their ideas onto everyone else.  I understand this is necessary in curriculum and book purchases but not fashion choices.\n\nI believe we can all agree that teachers have more than enough to do during school time. Uniform checking is an extra load they just don't need. Don't let anybody try to say that checking a uniform takes no more time enforcing any other dress code.  I spent 8 years in the military. I know all about wearing a uniform.  Checking uniform compliance is a meticulous activity.  You can tell at a glance if the clothes someone is wearing are smelly, have dirty words printed on it or show too much skin.  Teachers need to forget about uniforms and concentrate on what they are there for; teaching our kids.\n\nIf everyone has to wear the same clothes in a public school then anyone who can't afford the uniform will have to be supported by school funds.  They already are for meals, supplies, book fees, etc. The schools are strapped to the hilt as it is now.  We don't need an added expense.  \n\nUniforms are just a band-aid answer to real problems in schools.  It's a way for lazy, ineffectual administrators to look like they're doing something, rather than actually addressing what plagues the schools.\n\nUniforms have absolutely no educational value whatsoever.  There is no credible, conceiveable way that everyone wearing the same clothes improves education.  Anything that doesn't aid education has no business in schools.\n\nThere were probably others but it's late and I'm too tired to think of them right now.

I work in education. I see children dressed in the latest fashion , designer clothes and expensive jewlrey. i see other children in clothes that are old and tattered. The parents of the poorly dressed kids can't afford expensive clothes and their children usually stay on the sidelines,feel inferior and are made fun of by the other children. This happens in all age groups. If there was a uniform all would be equal and this would be one less stress kids wouldn't have to deal with. The uniform could be as simple as an inexpensive pair of jeans and a tee shirt.

I think it's a good idea. That way, everyone at the school is on the same playing field...at least appearance-wise. Those students who are less fortunate and don't have much money to buy clothes or have a lot of clothes don't have to worry about what their going to wear. I think it helps self-esteem and allows them to concentrate more on schoolwork.

The district I am currently at has a uniform policy that is strictly enforced.  I have also taught in schools where there wasn't a uniform policy.  I see less social stigma when everyone is dressed in similar clothing.  The behavior isn't that different, but I teach 2nd grade, so normally this grade level is pretty well behaved at least for me.  \n\nThe benifit to the families is that uniforms are much less expensive and students don't have to go through the headache of deciding what to wear that morning.  The decision is pretty simple.

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.

Yes, it helps students learn how to dress appropriately.  There are codes of behavior everywhere in life, and  you need to learn to work within these guidelines.

It's very rarely a national question - it's usually down to the individual schools - in the UK the majority of schools have a uniform of some kind, ranging from very strict, formal uniforms to specific colour of sweatshirt and trousers.\nIn many asian countries, like Japan, you'd be hard pressed to find a school that didnt have a strict uniform policy, likewise in Greece, Italy and some Scandanavian countries.  In France it's mixed, likewise in Australian and New Zealand.\n\nIt usually depends on the school, not just the country/culture - Im not aware of any countries that insist that every school must have a uniform and that these must all be the same.

hmm...how about school policies maybe even the ones at your school like the tardy policy for/against it (I did this speech at my school and they actually changed it)

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.

Uniforms are the answer. If everyone is wearing basically the same clothing it leaves little room for distraction in the classroom. I teach at a Parochial school where uniforms are required. when we have dress=down days (kids choose what to wear) they act totally different.\nUniforms are the answer!

The cheerleaders at my high school?  Good luck!  I just like the miniskirt part of the uniform...  Now, wait.  Isn't there a SHORT-sleeve version of that?  You want NO sleeve?  That would look weird...  I do remember seeing a short-sleeve uniform allowed for the private schools around here for warm weather.  I'm not sure if they are still required to wear a vest with that or something...  Didn't go to private school.
