It depends on what level of English you teach.  Pehaps you could instruct your students to describe appropriate types of clothing for different weather conditions.  Another idea is to have them describe their diet and exercise habits, hobbies, responsibilities, and other daily tasks.

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:)

Maybe the concept is a good one in urban areas, where fashion seems to be a big deal, but definately not in rural areas.  Personally, I find uniforms to be very unattractive. It seems to me schools should chose more becoming colors and styles for uniforms to make them appealing.

A better question is "why do parents allow their children out of the house dressed that way?"  The parent is ultimately responsible for making sure their child is dressed properly.

Basically you pretty much have to have good grades and shine in other activities (like sports or student corsair or something...). It helps if you show any leadership qualities like running for student government etc...\n\nI think that they want to see is a well-adjusted, well-rounded student with a positive work attitude.

If we are talking about public schools, I don't believe a madatory uniform is right.\n\nFor private schools, it is acceptable.

5 reasons why uniforms are a bad idea.......\nSelf Expression\nMany educators and sociology experts believe that requiring children to wear standardized uniforms stifles their self-expression. Self-expression is an important part of child development and some experts believe that curbing it with uniforms can be detrimental to a child. Experts also believe that students who are forced to wear uniforms will only find other, less appropriate ways to express themselves, possibly through inappropriate use of makeup and jewelry. \n\nIndividuality\nSome experts believe that public education attempts to strip children of their individuality. They believe that public education does not meet the needs of children who do not fall in the norm, and that uniforms attempt to force every student into one mold. They see standard dress as another way for public educators to remove student individuality where they should be embracing and celebrating diversity. Some experts believe it is not in the best interest of the child to try to control socialization which is a part of human nature. They believe that such use of school uniforms does not prepare children from the real world in which they will continue to be judged by appearances. \n\nCost\nThere are just as many experts who believe that the cost of school uniforms is a negative factor as those who see it as a positive factor. Some experts believe that it increases the amount of clothing parents will have to buy for their children because the children will still want and need clothing for the hours they are not in school. Uniforms can be more expensive for a family who buys from second-hand stores or who relies on hand-me-down clothing from friends and family. Some experts believe cost is a negative aspect of school uniforms because there is no use for them outside of school. \n\nComfort\nMany experts argue that different types of clothing feel comfortable to different people. Some children are more comfortable in a specific material or style of clothing. Uniforms reduce one’s ability to choose clothing that fits individual comfort needs. Experts believe that children need to feel comfortable in order to maximize learning, and that uniforms can therefore deter academic success. \n\nPros are not Pros\nMany educators and experts believe that, although in theory uniforms should improve academic, behavioral, and social outcomes, in reality they do not. These experts argue that the studies of schools who initiate uniforms do not report improvement in any of these areas; therefore, if the desired outcomes are not reached, there is no valid reason to standardize student dress.

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.

Its a very good question.........I think that everybody wants to be known by every student as well as the teacher may be thats why they wanna get rank\n\nThe second reason may be show to some particular person that yes I am the best........\n\nthe third reason may be that they wanna impress some teacher..........\n\nmay be he/she is jealous of somebody and thats why wanna show that I am better then her/him......

No, I don't think so. I think it's a great tool to keep school about school and not who has the most stylish clothing. That way a kid won't have to deal with social status issues in school because  certain clothes can't be afforded. And I bet most parents would agree it makes things easier all the way around. Just my two cents.....

Your in luck, cause the exposed skin area thats in style this year is BACKS.  So whip out your low in the back top, pair it with a cute dark colored mini, some black tights/leggings and some over the knee boots (also very hot this season).  It should be low enough on the teachers radar at school, but sizzling enough to catch your guys eye

yes and no... I guess it gives equality to all the kids, no ones teased for not having the latest trainers or jeans and eliminates alot of problems. theres also the stereotype seperation of the groups formed by the way people dress 'the goths' 'the grungers' 'the chavs' etc. \n\nOn the other hand I like to wear my own clothes, it makes oyu who you are and uniforms could be interpreted as society trying to make us all the same, boring, not independant...\n\nthere ya go :P

it keeps the focus on school work, not clothing. \n\nJust like uniforms for hospitals, military, service staff(ie:maids) or even store workers.

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.

I'm going to popular with this answer!\n\nYES school uniform is great. It saves on the hassle of the latest this that and the other from stropping teenagers. My youngest son has a very strict uniform code at his school. I only wish they would include a 'school coat' as this would save headaches on having to have the latest fashion accessory.\n\nI believe that a uniform makes the child feel part of a community where everyone is the same. I have to wear a uniform for work and think it's great because we get on with working instead of seeing who is wearing what!\n\nUniforms are worn for only a small proportion of the day when our little (or not so little) darlings can turn back into clothes horses!

the two school where I have worked at do were uniforms..Great idea.It has cut down on the violence because the gangs were showing their colors.There are certain colors that the students cannot wear.\nThe teachers know if a student belongs on campus at the H.S.\nIt has improved the self esteem of students that can't afford name brand clothing.They cannot have name brands showing.\n\nIf you think about it,it kind of prepares you for the real world.Some jobs out there require some type of uniform,even at McDonalds they have to wear them.\nMost jobs that deal with the public require that you dress nice.Unless you want to be a plumber and have your crack showing all the time.  LOL\nTo be vey honest I didn't like the idea but after I later saw how the students that couldn't afford name brand clothing attending school more often because of the uniforms it really changed my mind
