Do you think that schools should have uniforms? yes/no? why?why not?

ya i think school should have derss code

i think that schools should have uniforms , i think it gives the schoo lcass, and it also means that kids get used to wearing a uniform so when they decide to work in the public place they wear a suit or madybe in police, or in abulabce , theyall wear uniforms, so isnt it betetr to get them adjusted to the ideal , have a nice day :)

I used to believe that uniforms were a bad idea, but looking at it now, with adult eyes, I hate to say that I can see a lot of benefits to it. When I was in school (in the age of dinosaurs) we had dress codes. Skirts had to be at the knee, no sexy or revealing clothes, etc. When school started this year and I was driving about town, I couldn't believe how some of the kids were dressed...and that their parents would let them go out the door looking like that! When you go to school, it's to learn, and not to see who's 'better dressed' or who can afford the more expensive brand name clothes. Now-a-days, if you don't have brand name sneakers, jeans, etc, you're not 'in.' While I agree there should be individuality, to a point, I think this kind of attitude teaches kids to appreciate others for what they wear or have, as opposed to knowing the kid for who they are and how they act. Uniforms make everybody belong to the same class. You don't know if they are economically privileged or poorer than a church mouse. When uniforms are used, everybody is judged upon how they act, not by what they wear. When I say uniforms, I know most people think of the Catholic schools plaid skirts, etc. But to me, a uniform could be something as simple as a black skirt (or pants) and a white shirt and street shoes. It kills me every time I read in the paper where kids have been beat up so that someone could steal their Nikes, Prada purse, or their leather jacket, etc. How often do you read of a Catholic school girl getting robbed for their plaid skirt or blazer? Just a thought...

i dont find any reason for schools to have uniforms.... casuals r much better... already schools have so many rules to follow..atleast this rule should be reduced... if colleges can allow casuals..thn y not skools...

uniform restricts a child's individuality. there are some kids out there who express themselves though their wardrobe and by forcing them to wear uniforms, you are prohibiting them from showing their individuality and creativity. i think what the school can do is only not to allow students from wearing clothes that bear all. and if they still insist on a uniform, then they themselves should proivde it to the students. it's not cheap at all!

No. Peoples shoud be free!

I see your point but if they have uniforms then everybody is consider even and nobodys got something better then the other kids

A very well known subject in schools the uniforms.Personally i do not agree with the custom of wearing uniforms.In my country it is not a rule to wear unfirom but there are schools were it is written to wear uniform

Yes they should wear uniforms as it gives them a distinct identification and also makes them feel prove about their school.

No, there should not be mandatory school uniforms in public schools and here is why. When one of my kids schools explored the possibility of changing they had a parent meeting, which included a speaker who shares the pros and con of uniforms and gives you the reasoning to help you choose. There were more cons then pros. The common reasons parents want uniforms were: You can't hide weapons cause uniforms are more body formed and fitting--the guy proved that you can indeed hide a weapon and that any object can be used as a weapon. Another reason parents give is that it will make a kid have pride and therefore won't be a problem in school and it will stop the promiscuous dress and behavior, unfortunately, this is far from true because you can take the most deviant and bad behaved student and stick them in a uniform and all you will have is a disobedient student in a uniform--it doesn't change their attitude or behavior. What it came down to, was this guy showing us that the only real reasons to go with uniforms was that they looked nice and it made the school look like a private school and more upscaled. Other than that, it generally made school a negative environment for the kids to want to be in, their attitudes would not be improved by uniforms. We parents voted and did not choose uniforms.

I think they should mentain a dress code to show an evenness between them.. else their may be a sentiment of being inferior to those who can't afford good or rather costly clothes... So I feel schools should follow the dresscode na das far as the availaibility is concernt yeah they should give the dress materials from the Schools itself..

yes every school should have dresses cos 1stly u dont have to figure out what to wear . 2ndly evry1 can identify ur school by ur dress n kids remain in thier limits when they r in dress

I think there should be uniforms. You can express who you are without clothing to do so. I hate the thought of unfortunate kids getting teased for what they wear (happens ALL the time as we all know). For the sake of everyone involved I think they should!

yes definitely schools should have uniforms.. this is because of a single but quite important fact. that is, they should know the sense of discipline. uniform gives students a feelings of belonging to the same level. if students are allowed to wear what they wish then kids will wear as per their status. this will bring kid of poor family at downside even in the beginning of their life where they should learn how to overcome these things. so it is must i guess.

I really dont want to get into ethinicity about uniforms. everone keeps argueing for the so many benifits if it, but to me having similar unifor really has a charm of its own which is not explinable. though i used to hate wearing the same uniform daily to school, now i really enjoy relishing those sweet memories.

ur idea is not bad .... dress codes that everyone has to abide ....... maybe i got to send this peice of advice to my HighSchool :p

yes they should othereise there will no difference between home or school

Yes its necessary to maintain uniformity in children.

I think there are both pros and cons to uniforms.I also think if schools are going to mandate uniforms they should order them for the students so that everyone truly is uniform,they could order them in bulk and get them pretty cheaply.I like uniforms because with 4 kids in school we can buy 2 or 3 uniforms for each child instead of trying to get 5 outfits for each child.one drawback is in the middle of the school year it is hard to find the items you need to replace.kids have many ways to express their individuality clothing isnt the only way...encourage kids to build web sites,start blogs,they can customize cell phones and the such ...there are many ways to show a true individual.

I think that uniforms should be mandatory. I think that it would help with unacceptable outfits and also make students feel more equal.
