I would have to side with being against uniforms because as I being in high school, and liking to have the right to wear what I choose to; I wouldnt want someone to tell me what to wear. Have the privilege to wear what we choose to now is, awesome. At the moment we wear what we like, but have rules; limits. There are certain things we can not wear. Limiting how we may wear our pieces of clothing. Viewing both points of why it may be good or bad, to have uniforms in high schools, is important. My viewing point and the one I'm fighting for is, against uniforms. Students should be allowed their opinion to be heard, shown. Why not through how they dress, to express. Uniforms can also put schools out more presentable. I dress to my own style, and wouldnt want to be told what to wear daily, and I'm pretty sure others wouldnt want their styles to change.
I say, "NO uniforms!" I'm against them because, personally having to be told what to wear, wouldnt be right with me. How to wear it, and looking exactly the same as everyone else, I doubt anyone else would like it either. We all dress to show our own unique personality, our taste. We show others what we want them to see, and hide what we dont with our sense of style too. Why not let students choose what they prefer. Let them be themsleves. Letting them do so, their feelings are being expressed, by their clothing. It helps students to enjoy their day more. They feel comfortable wearing what they want, and how they want. Who says that getting students to wear uniforms will get them to score higher on test?
With having the right to wear what we choose to, with limits is good. A good deal. We are given the choice, and "they" who say what we can or can not wear, can set limits. For guys, no sagging jeans, none gang related stuff. For girls, approiate clothes. Nothing extreme, or out there. Being safe, by not wearing, sandals, chains, pointy objects etc. Having boundries, but having the privilege sounds reasonable. I took some data charts of how many students would be for uniforms or against uniforms. Most said, against. (18 out 20) stated by a student, that said, "against uniforms" stated, "I wouldnt want to have to wear uniforms because, my style is my own, I wouldnt want to be told what to wear." -Caroline
I have some more references, towards what the parents think about uniforms. Stated by a parent, a resident in U.S says, " I did not see that it made anythings "better", there were still peer presure, clique problems, pricing, and test scores remained the same." - Debra Werner
I tend to agree, but everyone is intitled to their own opinion.
Viewing both points is, important. Knowing the good and bad, coming from both sides of a case is needed. Uniforms may be good, when trying to show that the school is organized; proper. Also stated by a student in Gainevillie High School says, she hopes to get uniforms at her school. She states, "when we grow up and get jobs there will be a dress code that we will have to follow. Its doesnt matter where you work, weither it be at Macdonalds, Checkers Auto Store or even at the Hospital." She also comments, "you come to school to learn and make something of yourself. Uniforms will not change weither a student wants to go to school or not." -Ashley Hickmon
Whether we have uniforms or not, students habits will not change. Grades will remain the same because, even if changing what students wear wont make a difference academically. Students choose to do what they want because of who they are and what they want. Many people argue that uniforms will change those habits but, thats not true. No matter if uniforms are passed on, there will still be "clique" issues, bullying, critism towards each other.
My personal opinion, towards being against uniforms is, agreeing with some of the people out there. "Uniforms wont change them; us, academically. We take action by mind, not physically. Why not let us wear what we want, stop focusing on changing us and look for plans to help us get bettet test scores. If thats what your goal is, leave our dress code of wearing cool jeans and awesome radd tee's alone!
Choosing to be against school uniforms is, my statement. "Uniforms DOES NOT solve peer pressure, or stop bullying." I quote myself. This comes from personal experiance. I use to be bullyied and because of how I wore my uniform or even how I looked in it. It didnt stop girls from bullying me on what I wore. I'm pretty sure it made the bullying that much worse. I don't remember my grades get better; improving because, of my uniforms. This is why I dont agree with uniforms passing on.
