As you can see there is a lot of evidence, in the positives and negatives of having uniforms. Most public schools don't wear uniforms and that's okay. Yes, I think it would be good to have something a little more in order, but we're a public school, everyone is different.
Should students be able to decide this for themselves?

I agree, Students should be allowed to dress how they want, showing others what they like and dislike.
I personally think school uniforms would be a bad idea because people should be able to wear what they feel the most comfortable in so maybe just have like a clearer dress code or have school shirts, hoodies, and crewnecks to wear for a uniform instead of having the whole uniform that way people can still be comfortable during school.
I agree, Students should be allowed to dress how they want and be comfortable.
I think that students should decide what they want to wear. Uniforms are not worth the money because they are boring and plain. Also some kids wouldn't have the money for uniforms. Uniforms don't give people a way to express themselves. I would not be ok with wearing a uniform I like my clothes.
I think that letting people dress themselves is the best option. Students are already forced to go to school, I don't think that we should have to be forced to wear a uniform. I personally would not like to wear a uniform. I would try my hardest to make it so I didn't.
I don't think school uniforms are necessary in schools. Having school uniforms makes evrybody the same, and not be able to express themselves. Overall, I think having school uniforms would cause more students to complain about them, and cause more kids to find a way around them.
I think that kids should be able to decide what they want if they are in high school, I think that I would not want to wherer a uniform and I think that everyone whould dress how they want and that that os a part of them and them people who want to can but the people who don't should not be made to ware them.
I totally agree, Students should be allowed to have joy picking what they wear.
I think that students should have the choice if they want to wear a uniform or not. I understand that it can be easier to pick out clothes for the day if you where certain things. Also that some can't always afford lots of clothes. Personally though I would not wear a school uniform.
I agree, but I wish that what some students should be more appropriate.
