The practice of removing one's hat goes back centuries, to the time when a knight would remove his helmet (or lift the visor) when introduced to someone. It became part of military history as the salute.\n\nNowadays, there are still many times when removing one's hat is considered the polite thing to do. When standing for the national anthem, for example. Also, when entering someone's home, it is considered polite for a man to remove his hat (even if it's just a baseball cap). \n\nIt's an old custom, but one that many people still consider the mark of a gentleman. Keeping a cap on when entering a home is considered the sign of someone rude or uneducated.

Assuming you're in America, the idea of it being against a religious practice would be not only an irrelevant consideration, but one you were legally forbidden to consider, except insofar as making exceptions to allow for religious beliefs (for instance, if your school's dress code did not allow headgear such as hats, but made a specific exception for religious headgear such as Jewish males wearing a yamukkah, Muslim females wearing a veil, or Sikh males wearing a turban*).\n\nIf, on the other hand, you're arguing it should be more strict because of your religious point of view, I hate to sound rude, but the only appropriate legal response is "go take a flying leap", because America is founded not only on the notion you should be free to practice your religious beliefs in peace, but that everyone else should be free from you oppressing them and forcing your religious beliefs on them, which is what tightening the dress code to take into account your ideas of what it should be based on your religious views would actually be.\n\nOther than that, I believe schools which receive public funding are allowed to enforce the basic standards of decency with how revealing clothes are allowed to be, obscenities printed on them, etc... and beyond that are not allowed to limit what students wear because it would be a violation of their First Amendment rights to free expression, and therefore something the government of the United States or any institution affiliated with it is expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution to do.\n\n\n\n*I know SOMEONE with an encyclopedic knowledge of religion will quite rightly point out this opens the door to the concept of nude students since advancement in Jainism (which is a major world religion) requires its adherants to wear less and less clothing, finally requiring them to be nude once they achieve the level of "saint", but I will note right now that Jains are very particular about progression in their religion and that most people cannot even hope to come close to achieving sainthood in their lifetime, and those few who do are extremely old before they have done enough to do so, so while it may be possible, I would bet you dimes to donuts it will NEVER come up when making allowances for formally recognized religions.

I SAY! what kind of headteacher is that!? anyway, i think you should be able to wear a scarf and tell the headteacher to talk to your parents if he/she has a problem with you keeping yourself warm and alive. But make sure you wear a scarf predominantly in school colours so that the headteacher has less reasons to tell you off with your warm scarf.

Because the hole in the ozone layer is very severe over Australia (would be true for the Antarctica as well but it's not that densely populated..). Hence the sun is very aggressive in terms of damaging UV rays. Wearing a hat is very efficient to protect the head and the face.\nTry going for a bush walk without hat and water and you know what I mean..

As a student I always wanted uniforms because of the fashion parade that went on at school.  It made life expensive for someone that had little money.  There was an automatic cast system - the haves and havenots.  The only good thing that came out of it was the fact that I learned to sew and when I got a job at age 15 I was skilled enough to be able to copy fashion designs; that skill has served me well throughout the years.\n\nAs a parent though, I still have to vote for uniforms.  It is the one area where an educator can level the fields inorder to make the classroom more condusive to learning.

In High school your visor must be 100% clear no colors of any kinda, I know how u feel (there plain). Reason: if you get injured you may need to be checked if concious because they CANT move your head in case of broken neck etc. so they need to check if your concious without having to remove your helmet.

Cap and Gown. What do they mean and where did they come from? \n\nWhat we call today a “cap,” which is worn by students and faculty in some cases, used to be called a “hood.” The “hood” is believed to be dated back to the Celtic Groups. At that time in history only the Druid priests wore capes with hoods, symbolizing their superiority and higher intelligence. Today, the “hood” or “cap” is used to identify the student’s academic institution and degree. The tassel that is attached (and sometimes the color of the cap and gown or scarf) is used to signify the student’s academic achievement within the academic structure. \n\nPrior to the 1950’s the color of the graduation gown was gray. This was practiced only in the U.S. Colors in European countries were used as far back as the 1800s to signify the area of study. Sometime during the 1950’s students began to ask for cap and gowns that represented their school colors. Their wish was granted and the emergence of varying colors used for gowns caught on. \n\nDuring the 12th and 13th centuries the academic dress for graduation was born. At that time the standard dress for faculty or students was clerical dress. It wasn’t until 1321 that the University of Coimbra decided that all Doctors, Bachelors, and Licentiates would be required to wear gowns. \n\nSo there you have the basic history of Graduation Day and the ceremonial garb that is worn

The standard arguments are that they  reduce social friction,\nsave money, make it easier to identify students and non students, help establish a studious atmosphere, increase school spirit and focus more attention on education.\nI know you asked for positive arguments  but I'd like to share my experiences.\n My experience with public schools that required uniforms was that  none of these  arguments actually  held up in real use  over time. Social friction etc. still occurs, We found that the  Uniforms were so poorly made that they tore and  wore out  in a  very short  time even  before being outgrown which happened 3 or 4 times in a school year.  Uniforms are only available in a limited range of sizes,  small and large children had extreme difficulty finding uniforms.  They were so uncomfortable that  many children could not study.\n The local schools still have uniform requirements and originally there was almost 100% compliance now  8 years after  instituting mandated  uniforms  over 80% of students get waivers and wear  regular clothing  only kindergartners and first graders  actually tend to wear the uniforms.

Children do not respect rules and often teachers allow children to get away with things to make their lives easier.\n\nI work in a school and a lot of teachers threaten children with detentions, but never carry them out because they'd have to give up time at lunchtime or after school.

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 guess you could make the argument that the way people dress is a form of expression (be it religious or otherwise) and thus requiring people to dress a certain way or discriminating against those who dont might be in violation of the first ammendment.

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.

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.

its a bad thing and a good thing. the good is students need it for safety, but the bad is distracting other students or probably even distract the student that has it. if i was a teacher, i would let my students bring one, but not used for inappropriate things like talking to their girlfriend/boyfriend/or some other business. school is a place to learn, not a place to mess around.

oh yes ! i am in the ninth grade and in my school if you do not come in right uniform you do get suspended. for instance if a girl with long hair does not tie her hair in two ponies or plaits then repetitively then she might as well be suspended.
