carly i think you should have to wear school uniforms.
it takes the focus off the kids who can not afford nice clothes,and
it puts more on school work

Secret person Our class is doing a project and this group is against school uniforms. But we need help finding information with in TWO days! Do you have any suggesting? 12/13/2007
person you forgot a few main ideals about why people are against school uniforms. One is the fact that they peel a conflict with the first amendment. The first amendment states that students should have the right to express themselves and clothing is a way to express one's self...also there really are not too many pieces of factual evidence that support school uniforms. thanks for reading. 12/13/2007
drake school uniforrms would make all the ppl feel equal
it would make everyone even in other words
ppl who support uniforms were proboly losers in popularity and frineds or poor
ppl who are against school uniforms are winners or rich and are cool or popular.
it does good for the losers and bad for the winners i say losers get used to it
but again

QueenV Plaid Skirts are cute, but not if there down to your knees, but I still hate the idea of wearing the same thing everyday. I would hate wearing a uniform. 12/12/2007
da man im doing a report in my school and im in a small group and are report is about--against school uniforms 12/12/2007
Mz.Norwood uniforms take away your individuality and you can't express yourself when everyone looks the same........and all i could say is that school uniforms are a pain. 12/11/2007
Mz.Zuniga NA.......I THINK ALL STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO WEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO WEAR....IS THERE LIFE.THEY DO NEED FREEDOM.....THEY GO OTO SCHOOL TO LEARN ADN BE WITH FRIENDS......NOT FOR TEACHERS OR ANYONE ELSE TO TELL THEM WHAT TO WEAR..SO IN MY OPINION.STUDENTS SHOULD HAV ETHE RIGHT TO WEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO WEAR.... 12/11/2007
nate although i don't wear a school uniform i think they are really bad....of almost all the stories i have read i can tell they're a bad idea for kids to wear......kids should be able to express themselves. 12/11/2007
ohjay I think children should be able to express their style or fashion, but certain limits should be made so that kids are not able to bring guns or weapons to school in their baggy clothes. School uniforms would prevent that, but style is important to show your personality. 12/11/2007
Marisela I agree with all of the opinions from students from other schools that have the same opinions about not wearing school uniforms because it's so boring wearing almost the same uniform everyday to school. 12/6/2007
Marisela In my opinion, I think that we student should not wear school uniforms because it's too boring and it may be hot to wear them. Like for example, in the summer it gets very hot and sticky to wear uniforms when it's hot and sunny and in the winter it's very cold to be wear those skirts and those T-shirts. So that why I think that we should not wear school uniforms. 12/6/2007
haha ololol i am doing an report also 12/6/2007

anonymous well, i also hate wearing school uniforms, that is why iam writing about going against school uniforms. because they are disgusting and gross. i've been wearing them for like two years now. and our school is year round. so i have to deal with wearing them. unless if i want to move and go to a different school and i dont want to move because i'll defenitely miss my friends and family. i love my school and i have nothing against them but its just that i hate wearing school uniforms. 12/4/2007

mama 40-- i think that school uniforms are not to be worn because kids like me should be able to express their self each and every day 11/25/2007
Jane It was an interesting piece. But I have to disagree with you when you said that a moderate dress code could achieve the same results as uniforms could. I attend a public school and witness/hear of fights all the time about what kids are wearing and I hear plenty of complaints from teachers about student's lack of respect for the "dress code". I know my class is trying to move our school toward uniforms. We believe it would be beneficial in many ways to the students.
When it comes to "freedom of speech through clothes", I believe that students are just as capable of finding ways to express their individuality through other means than their clothing. What they say, how they say it and multiple other things are available to accomplish freedom of speech.
Cost. If schools pay for the uniforms or set up networks of cheaper outlets where uniforms can be bought then that takes a load off of parents. As for buying an extra set of clothes, if they are already buying their clothes at discount stores, and uniforms are being supplied for them or they are able to buy them less expensively, then money really isn't that big of an issue.

Red We should be able to dress freely and wear whatever we want to 11/14/2007
Jamie Myers School uniform may look good but wouldn't a childer (like myself) want the ability to dress freely and as i want to. I mean, right now i am wearing a white spaghetti strap shirt with a Megadeath sweat shirt, blue jeans and a white skirt. i dress this way because it makes me feel comfortable and free. If this is a free country then why do we have to be told what to wear? 11/14/2007

Brady I think it's a bad idea about school uniforms because my kid got choked from his tie when a my kid got in a fight. 11/13/2007
alexis i hate school uniforms 11/8/2007
Morgan I feel that school uniforms are just a huge waste of time. Here school officals think that it will solve bullying, students will do better in school, and it will look professional. well what they don't know is that bullying will still contiune just on how people look physically or act mentally, many families can't afford uniforms, and it will lower students confidence. 11/7/2007
bishea i think that school uniforms are very ugly and they are not my style.if we were to wea uniforms the school policy should atleast make them cute..... 11/7/2007

Jack People who oppose uniforms for the reasons of, "How are we going to express ourselves, are nuts! Does it matter that you have to express your individuality. That just means that you want attention." This is ridiculous! 10/24/2007

Ugly Betty I don't think school uniforms are going to do anything but make somebody mad. Uniforms are an infringement to a student's first amendment. The uniforms don't allow us to express our individuality. 10/12/2007
Kaylee I am totally against school uniforms. Why should kids give up their freedom? 10/12/2007

michelle i like wat u wrote 10/10/2007
maria To instiute a uniform policy is a great way to improve our community schools and cut down the amount of violence we have going on. Uniform does indiffereate the students from criminals and controls there freedom. The uniforms also stops all the distraction going on in school by the clothing and the way students express them selves with there clothing. 10/10/2007

10/4/2007
lyndsey I totally agree,school uniforms should not be worn by children around the world. In my 8th grade Language Arts class we are writing a persuasion and im doing mine about school uniforms. i hate them they are so ugly and they are takeing away our freedom to wear what we want. We express our feeligns through clothing. 10/4/2007
Sheena Bishop 1. People say that kids learn by example, well what kind of example are the teachers of these schools setting when they come to school in their everyday clothes, dressing the way they want, and being able to be comfortable. How is this fair to the students? Some of the women teachers come to school in open toed shoes with short skirts, what kind of example is that?

2. My daughter is a straight A, excellerated student, she does so well in school she has moved up, she gets letters for scholarships. She got suspened because her shirt was not tucked in. Well one of the scholarships declined her because she got suspended. This could of possibly ruined her chance for a better education after high school. I feel this uniform may have well ruined her chance at a better life.

3. What happens if a child gets kidnapped at school and the police say "What was your child wearing today" what am I suspossed to say, "Oh well just take a look around my child looks like all the rest" How are the police susuposed to find my child out of hundreds of children who all look the same?

Where are my childs rights? This is not fair, It should be up to the parents on what their child should wear. It just makes me sick that my childs future may be ruined, all because of a uniform. Since the first time my daughters uniform was not right my child has been picked on about every little thing she does and wears by teachers, and other staff members. Something needs to be done. More parents need to stand up and fight for their childrens and their childrens rights. I will not stop fighting.

Thank you,
