school uniforms

My children attend a charter school and the teachers are suppose to wear a shirt that has the school name on it. Other than that the teachers just wear dress bottoms shorts pants whichever. On Fridays it's a dress down day and they can wear jeans. Our schools colors are green and navy blue, so the staff wears blue shirts and the children wear green. When does school start for your school? Ours starts in about two weeks and I'm so excited since it's been a LONG summer.

My kids go to a school where they have to wear uniforms and no the teachers do not have to wear a uniform. Our kids are allowed to wear blue jeans instead of the usual khaki pants that go with their uniforms as long as they aren't faded, They have to be a dark blue jean and their burgandy shirts or whatever color shirt the school wears. On Fridays, they wear their pride shirts, which depending on what grade your in, is a different color, like orange or blue. A pride shirt is like a football shirt that the students get to wear when there is a football game or it's just friday and the teachers do wear this shirt but, only if they want to.

My son is in a school where uniforms are mandatory. They wear either red polo shirts (you can get them at WalMart 2 pack for $10) or a red school t-shirt ($8/each) and khaki shorts ($10 at Walmart) or pants ($12 at walmart). The teacher do not wear uniforms but they do dress nice. The uniforms save a ton of money!

You will want to check with your school. My daughter attends a charter school. They wore uniforms for elementary. The teachers did not. But our uniforms had more than two colors. Khaki, blue, red, white. Our school colors are actually red white and blue. The kids could wear shorts, pants, skirts or jumpers. Good Luck!

School uniforms are a good thing to my mind,they ensure that every child goes to school wearing the same clothes,if there were no uniforms then im sure that there would be many youngsters going to school wearing designer clothes,and those with less well off parents wouldnt have the money to be able to afford any of that,so then there would be a division among the pupils

In my high school before, the teachers also wore a uniform. It didn't match our school colors though. They had a new color scheme every year, and in a year there would be 2-3 sets of uniforms. I think this would be advantageous for you not only because you won't need to buy new clothes that much anymore, but also because it'll save you time in choosing what to wear every day. It's only expensive at first, but it will definitely be cheaper if you need to wear it for an entire school year. :)

Atleast in my school, teachers did not have any uniform... Only students had uniform.. white shirt.. blue half pant... tie with a batch... belt... socks and shoes ... All these were compulsory... If we had no tie... we were punished... I never heard of teachers wearing school uniform... anyways in one way, i feel uniforms are nice... as you dont have to worry about... which dress to wear today.. Everyday its the same one.. hehe

I thinnk u only need to wear uniforms during school time. It is not bad to ask students and teachers to wear uniforms.Frankly, dont be nervous about it. Everthing will be ok. Its common in Jap every students must wear uniform. so take it easy, U WILL adapt to the new system soon.Wish u can enjoy ur uniform.

Hey there. I think American and Japan's school uniform is very beautiful,it can shows students'youth and the vitality. Chinese school uniform's style is stereotyped,and is very rustic.

I hope you are allowed to wear what you will choose to wear, as a teacher. I have always been in favor of our schools changing to uniforms, because it takes away the competitive nature of dressing in name brand clothes. Also children seem to push the dress code to the extreme. Parents allow them to come in ever skimpier skirts, and tops. I think children coming in uniform allows the focus of the day to be placed on academics and not on a fashion competition. And for those who claim their kids need to be able to show their own individuality, I say let them show it after school. I think it is great that most of the uniforms are readily available for reasonable prices. As a teacher, though, I never even considered that I would also have to wear a uniform. Like you, I enjoy dressing up for work, and I love skirts. Also we have had the option to wear our school shirt on Fridays, and I never wear mine because I feel like a camp counselor in mine! Teachers who dress nicely should not be a distraction, so I hope you are able to continue to wear what you would like to. I'd be interested to know, as your year progresses, whether you think uniforms do make a difference in the academic feel and achievement in your school.

i hate the school uniforms ... because they looks ugly .... we need to wear the normal clothes which we wear at some marriage anniversary or which we wear at home ... these uniforms cost too much and they are bad

School uniforms is necessary because it carries the identity of the school. Others don't want to wear one. As long that the school uniforms are comportable to wear I'm okay with it.

School uniforms shouldn't exist! You can't force people to wear uniforms at such a young age. It's the government's way of saying "Hey, we don't really want to look like we're preparing your kids for serving our country in unnecessary wars, so we're doing it in a much smarter way! They just have to wear these cute little uniforms, so we can prevent disturbing things like freedom of speach and expression..." You should never join a school using uniforms - you'll be supporting oppression of free speach.

I personally did not wear uniforms when I was in school, but I hightly support the idea. I have cousins in school in India who wear uniforms and it instills a sense of disciple and work ethic in them. School is for learning not for fashion.

They had uniforms for a few years here. They don't anymore. Why they ended it, I don't know.

I certainly understood your concern. Rather than them implementing school uniforms they should ammend rules which takes care of dressing modestly. That would be perfect. Try talking to your sup and explain them that teachers need not follow uniform code because they do dress accordingly or try to have some restrictions on dress code that might help you out. Cheers.

There were schools in Texas that did a smart thing, I think. The uniforms were either khaki or gray pants or skirt, and the tops were cheap(er) polo-type shirts in white, red, or navy. The kids had some choices that way.

I grew up having to wear uniforms to school because I attended Catholic schools. I got used to it and saved a lot of money on clothes. However, we were never forced to only wear school colors. I think it would be best for schools to implement policies at the lower grade levels first. Teenagers who have never had to wear uniforms will probably resist the idea.

I had to wear Unaiforms in high school and Middle school. We were one of the first schools in town to try thr unaiforms and at the time it was expensive. But at my school the teachers did not wear the unaforms.

I dont believe uniforms are necessary. If schools just enforce their dress code like any other school rule there wouldnt be a problem. And i think having to pay for one is even worse. If a school wants a uniform, they should at least give u your first one free. Then you could pay for replacements. Besides in the end it is not the clothes that distract people but the minds of the children that allow themselves to be distracted
