anyone know a GOOD thesis statement for this question--------------- " Should Schools Require Uniforms?"
340153
Thesis Statement:Uniforms should not be required in schools because students will not able to express themselves with them.\n We have enough restrictions in our life already and will get more as we grow older. We should be able to have at least a bit of fun in life while we can.\nThat should give you some idea. Hope this helps:)

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.

One pro is that it cuts down on gang affiliations if the students all have to wear the same thing.\n\nIt also narrows the gap between the rich and poor.  \n\nIt also saves class time because the dress code is clearer.  I've worked at schools with uniforms and those with dress codes and it's easier to work with uniforms as there's no argument from students as to certain accessories.\n\nUniform violations are also used as a secondary discipline device.  If a teacher or administrator notices consistent violations, there's usually more going on in that student's behavioral pattern that needs looking into.

Depends on what grade. The school you're attending will tell you their dress policy and whether a uniform is required. If you haven't been told, assume no uniform, and dress casually and comfortably. Dress modestly. The purpose of school is to get an education and learn new skills (including social skills). I hate to be rude, but also try to use spell check.

I'm not buying the "stifles creativity" arguments nor am I buying the "forces conformity" jag.  I believe that a uniform actually makes people work HARDER to stand out and be creative (ie: their physical image alone carries no weight).  I also believe that in life one needs to understand when the *appearance* of conforming is in their best interest (ask anyone in a successful career).  But a uniform does not mean conformation - at least it didn't to the slutty catholic school girls I used to date, smoke dope and drink with...\n\nI think uniforms are a great equalizer.

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.

it is easier for students at all schools, public and private, to wear a uniform to go to class.\n\nless competition and discrimination over appearance\n\ncheaper and ensures that students don't come to school in their beach clothes.\n\nthere is still enough room for individuality to be expressed through hair, shoes, makeup and general personality!

Consider a policy your school has -- which classes you can or cannot take; dress code, etc.  If it's a topic you feel strongly about, it will be easier to write.

My high school issued a uniform policy my senior year. I \nwould get rid of it if I had the power.

Most people don't, but I had to wear a uniform up through 8th grade, and follow a fairly strict dress code up through high school.  I don't now in college, and I'm glad for that, but I think it was really useful when I was younger.  My schools were comparatively small, and the cliques weren't fun.  It was good not to have to worry what other people would think about the clothes I wore.  Though I don't know if I would have said so at the time, I think it might also have kept us just a little more focused on the academics.

I believe they are good for schools. First off it is much easier to ensure the schools dress codes, because the school itself can pick the specific clothes. You don't have to worry as much about the short skirts or having any clothes affiliated to gangs or drugs. Secondly, it takes a lot of pressure off the students. They don't have to worry about "impressing" each other with the latest trends. Third, it is better for those families dealing with economic hardships. Usually there are programs to get those kids uniforms, if their parents cannot afford them and it also takes the pressure off those kids who might not be able to afford name brand clothes. Which can help prevent them from receiving any ridicule for that.

Your school should carry them. If not, suggest the idea to the school. They should sell sweaters, stickers, and such.
