I totally agree, Students should be allowed to dress how they want. I bet uniforms wouldn't be that comfortable ether.
I think that students can find and express themselves with the clothes that they wear, so forcing uniforms kind of prohibits that creativity. I don't think that uniforms really do anything because either way, you will have people violating them, and I really just don't see the need for them.
I do not think public schools should be able to require a uniform. But I think that private schools should be able to. I see now it is benifical. I would not mind because then I would not have to pick out an outfit everyday for school.
I think that we should not have uniforms. I think that it dose nothing, I don't think that it makes a difference in the class room. The uniform thing should be an option for some but I think that we should be able to where confortiable cloth's.
I agree, Students should be allowed to dress how they want. But it would help the less fortunate who couldn't afford better clothes.
I don't think students should have to wear uniforms in hgihschool. I think most people at this age should know what to wear and what not to wear to school or in public. If anything public schools should just have a dress code, it would still give students flexable dressing while still being appropriate.
In my opinion school uniforms should only be wore in elementary and middle school. In high school, students are mature enough to show their style and decide their clothes. However, wearing a uniform saves a lot of money and make it the same for everybody. I think students should have the opportunity of deciding themselves. I would be okay wearing a uniform as long as it is not uncomfortable.
I don't think that students should have to wear uniforms. A students clothes is a way for them to express their selfs. In 1 of my old schools we had to wear uniforms and I hated it. In this school we had to pay $1 to wear regular clothes on certain days of the year only acception being picture day. Sure uniforms make it easy so you don't have yo figure out what to wear or how to avoid being dress coded but if you forget a peice of the uniform you have a chance to dress coded either way.
I totally agree, Students should be allowed to express themselves. It would also safe money for the school.
I think students shoud be able to choose what they wear. I think students not having to wear uniforms right now is perfectly fine. I wouldn't like having to wear uniforms but if we had to I would strongly disagree with having to wear them. One because we are in a public school not a private school and they aren't needed. Wearing uniforms are not needed and I think it would upset alot of students.
