A school uniform consists of a limited range of clothing, including footwear and headwear. It identifies students as belonging to a particular school. Schools usually expect students to wear the uniform during school hours, while traveling to and from school, and when engaged in school activities out of school hours. One of the chief benefits of school uniforms, say proponents, is that they make schools safer. Uniforms are said to reduce gang influence, minimize violence by reducing some sources of conflict, and help to identify trespassers. Parents benefit because they are no longer pressured to buy the latest fashions, and they spend less on their children's clothing. Having a uniform stops gang members from displaying their colours and garb. The schools also believe it helps stop violence and helps instill a sense of pride in the students. It also helps to break down the barriers between different socioeconomic groups. I feel we should keep to the uniform. It sets an example of the school. It is representation the community. It is easy to point out different people. Also there would be more fights/bully due to the lack of 'fashion'. "

I think that there are many pros and cons to having schooo uniforms. I, myself, think that we should have school uniforms. Some people say that you can't express yourself, but there are many other ways to express yourself other than your clothing. i also think that if you have a uniform you are judged on personality instead of clothing which i believe is improtant. There would be less bullying because you are all egual.

I do not agree when people claim and say that wearing school uniforms will cut down the number of bullying incidents. I can see what they mean, but at the same time that argument is flawed. Most people who go to private schools in my area have to buy parts of their uniform at the store. So you still have people going to the store and choosing between the cheap and the expensive clothing. You still get an option----and I know the private elementary school allows the kids to have a choice in the shoes, jewelry, etc. So you are still seeing kids with Spiderman shoes.

Ohkay, so if you people think we should enforce school uniforms everywhere, then your crazy. It violates a students/persons right to free expression and speech, both of which are listed in the Constitution. When students roam the hallways on a normal day, you always pass that group of "clones". You know, the people who act and dress JUST alike. Well if schools get uniforms, soon everyone will be dressing alike, therefore sterrotypes will fade and soon people will all act the same. Thusfore making us into those "clones".

In conclusion, school uniforms would disrupt the learning atmopshere and increase how much someone got picked on. Only now students wouldn't get picked on in their own school, but in others.

and no I am not some crazed teacher, I am 14 and I know what I am talking about ! :] thanks dolls .

What you wear on your back has nothing to do with being in gangs or being smarter. Children have their own personalities and we express them when we wear our clothes. If we wear school uniforms you will kill the small choice students have. Anyway, shouldn't the success come from the students' inner side, not the clothes on their back.

I used to wear uniforms back in elementary school and sometimes I wasn't too fond of it. But as I look back to how it was, there was less conflict, no one having to say your clothes were ugly or you got them from a wal mart. You weren't so much judged by your clothing but how you expressed yourself through your actions and words. School uniforms will benefit the students into having a much safer environment. It's something to really consider.

Why should we have to wear them? All they do is make us all look alike. Don't you think that a school where every student looks alike is boring? Parents buy them for no reason because after a year or two their child won't wear the same uniform. They are just wasting their money. Now shirts and jeans children will wear them for a long time 4-5 years maybe. Also the school uniform costs more than our jeans and our shirts. So I am AGAINST school uniforms. They have to go....soon.

Subject: No Uniforms

There is much debate about school uniforms. Pros and cons for having them and not having them. I believe that you should not have school uniforms in school. First you want to express yourself and who you are. Yes I know that some people say that clothing isn't the only way you can but it is a major way of expressing yourself. Also some families might not be able to afford school uniforms, and going to buy your own choice of clothing is much cheaper than having to buy a school uniform. There are also teachers who teach freedom of choice so it curtails the students freedom to make that choice of what they want to wear. So I believe that having school uniforms is ridiculous! Thanks

Maybe they want uniforms because they don't have money for the clothes they would like to wear.
