Greast topic choice and well done Isabella!
If the school started making us wear school uniforms I think the students should be able to just wear what they want and not wear the uniforms that the school provides. And if they did make us wear uniforms I wouldn't because I want to wear what I want.
I think that it is pointless because they don't make a point and I think that it doesn't benifit anything. Wearing school uminforms it makes you look funny and make's people ask questions why you are wearing a school uninforms.
I don't think that school uniforms should be required by schools. I believe students should be able to wear what they want. It's their right to express themselves. Also some girls might not be ok with having to wear a skirt or dress everyday even in the winter time.
i think students should be able to wear what they want to wear. If we don't have the freedom of wearing what we want no one can express themselves. I think wearing a uniform wouln't be horrible, but i wouldn't like it. I want to able to wear what i want.
I totally agree, Students should be allowed to dress how they want. I bet uniforms wouldn't be that comfortable ether.
No, I feel that wearing a school uniform should not be required. clothes are how many people express themselves and taking that away will only be harmful to others. School uniforms should not be required.
I feel that there should not be school uniforms. I think that kids should be able to wear as they please and decide for themselves. I personally think that uniforms would just be unpleasant, with the fact we are in highschool. Yes, there should be a dresscode just simply not uniforms.
I think that schools shouldn't input school uniforms. Having uniforms would probably increase bullying and make the self image of a student worse. I wouldn't wear a uniform because it's childish if high school is supposed to prepare you for the adult world having us wear a certain clothing style is helping us become adults.
I dont think schools should have uniforms I think we should be able to wear what we want. A lot of people like to dress up and others like to be comftorable and if we have uniforms we cant wear those things. I still think we should have dress code but not wear uniforms.
