In the article, “Pros and Cons of School Uniforms” it states, “If the children of a school are out causing trouble wearing the uniform from a school, it can reflect badly on that school and result in fewer parents wanting to send their children there” this explains that if a students is causing trouble outside the school, people that saw it they would know what school the students came from.…
Whether Sherman, under the attractive nuisance doctrine, will likely prevail against Carlisle for multiple injuries he sustained in a fall from wooden steps of a tree house in disrepair while trespassing upon Carlisle’s property when: (1) Carlisle was aware that the neighborhood surrounding his property was populated with children; (2) a severe storm had damaged Carlisle’s property and exposed the previously concealed tree house; (3) Sherman was six years of age at the time of his injury; (4) Carlisle had little incentive to make repairs to the tree house prior to the storm because of its concealment; (5) immediately following the storm, Carlisle made arrangements with a contractor at a higher than average rate to make repairs to his property; and (6) Sherman was enticed to enter Carlisle’s land by construction materials and yellow caution tape and was unaware of the tree house until entering upon the property.…
Many references found on the subject of plea bargaining project the same message as to why the process has become such a common element of the justice system. The universal missive seems to be advantage for all parties involved, even the victim.…
Public schools across the United States have been dealing with the issue of dress codes. As of 2008, twenty-two U.S. states specifically authorized schools to institute dress codes or uniform policies (8). School boards may generally create and enforce dress code, but they must do so without violating students’ constitutional law (9). Schools are finding difficulty in enforcing their dress code among students. Parents feel as if the schools dress codes are condoning their students for expressing themselves and say that it is unconstitutional and wrong. Parents, students, and administrators all have the idea of uniforms in the back of their mind but, they will have to give up things to have them. Though a dress code for high schools students is appropriate, uniforms would be a better option.…
Have you ever been sent home from school because of what you were wearing? Maybe you should have been sent home, but you did not get caught? I am writing this paper because high school students across the country. and some parts of the world. get sent home and miss out on education simply because you could see their shoulders. (Buzzfeed) At Haven we have it pretty easy. In other areas it may be more difficult to find a cute outfit to wear. Some may even struggle to find something cute to put with or on their uniform that will not get them in any kind of trouble. School dress codes around the country. and some parts of the world, should be less severe. should not prevent individuality, and should not be difficult to follow.…
This paper is about the issue of school uniforms and whether or not for schools (K-12) to require them. I analyzed three strong arguments from both sides of the issue. The side advocating uniforms argued that school uniforms keep students focused, which may lead to an improvement of grades. Advocates state uniforms deter students from crimes and save money for parents by relieving parents of the pressure of buying new clothes for every school year. The other side of the issue against uniforms in schools argue that uniforms threaten and infringe on student’s freedom of expression by requiring students to wear the uniforms with consequences if not hearkened. The opposition to uniforms also presented a study where the students oppose…
The results of the study indicated there are eight areas of concern; school violence, availability of firearms, parental responsibility, media responsibility, social service, anger management, attitudes toward violence, and school uniforms. Majority of the teachers felt that school uniforms would help to alleviate the situation, not only changing the attitudes of many of the students but enabling school officials to target potential problems. With the current baggy style of clothing students have the ability to smuggle illegal drugs and weapons into the school environment without…
What teachers are trying to accomplish is to prepare the students for outside of school and work places, but they do not consider that some workplaces does not require a work uniform (Key). Some places that does not require a uniform to work in is Bard (makes medical supplies), saw mills, construction of any kind. The teachers need to stop trying to suppress girls, they need to help them develop their own individuality, and not suppress them to be what they believe they should be (Key). By enforcing the strict dress codes or uniforms on students does not help their motivation to come to school and do work, it brings the motivation down and less people will continue to stay in school, the dress code has not improved any students academic achievement in school, it is likely that it will bring them down because of the lost interest in school learning (Viaderio). The issues that uniforms and strict uniforms were enforcing is people bullying others because of the kind of clothing they wear, who their family is and if they are poor or rich, But no matter what any school administrator or community member “does by enforcing uniforms on students has not been effective it hasn’t helped the issues that they were made to stop (Viaderio). Walking through school and just listening to what other students are talking about, and seeing how the school is trying to handle these kinds of situations does not help and…
A school uniform is a specific design for clothing designated to be worn while attending academic classes at a school. The school context comprises grades one through twelve of public and private schools in the United States. Different schools and different grades within schools may have different uniforms, as determined by parents and school administration. In today’s society all public schools should require student uniform. These generations of school kids are more worried about how your hair looks, what name brand clothes you have on, and also what kind of shoes are on your feet. These kids are worried about all the wrong things. Instead of worrying about their peer’s attire they should be into their books. Worrying about all the wrong things can be distracting. When ones focus is on something other than what’s important can cause sidetracking. "We are under no illusions that it's a silver bullet that is going to make kids smarter," school board President Pedro A. Ramos said last week. "We do think it will improve school climate. It removes a lot of anxiety and stress from lives of our students and parents," (Johnston). To understand why this is an issue, let us look at the problem, why the problem is significant, whom the problem affects, why others’ attempts have failed, and how I propose to solve the problem. This is an everlasting debate that whether school uniforms should be worn or casual clothing is as good. And like most of the popular debate in the world it has no concrete answer, it totally depends on a person’s beliefs actually. For some it is a benefit for others a disadvantage. I believe public schools should require students to wear uniforms. First wearing school uniforms promotes good discipline. Second it reduces distractions. Thirdly it is a far less expensive to buy school uniforms than many other clothes.…
Although public schools already have a strict Dress Code policy, mandating school uniforms will improve students’ appearance and eliminate the economic stress on parents. Parents spend hundreds of dollars yearly to keep up with the latest fashion trends for their children. Unfortunately, low-income families are unable to afford such trends. This leaves room for conflict, disruptive behavior and disheartening attitudes from students. Children who are unable to wear expensive clothing may feel pressured and teased by their peers, resulting in poor attendance because they have “nothing to wear.” If all public schools were in agreement with a particular uniform, students’ attendance will increase. Some may argue that the cost of uniforms are expensive, but many retail stores such as Walmart, Target and Sears offer school uniforms in a wide selection for inexpensive prices. Also, with the decision of not wearing uniforms, buying more clothing would be way more expensive.…
In 1993, Will Rogers Middle School in California’s Long Beach County School District began discussing the idea of a school-wide uniform policy. That fall, Will Rogers became the first school in Long Beach County to have a mandatory uniform policy. Other schools in the district soon followed drawing national attention, including a personal visit from then President Clinton. Recent memories of school shootings around the nation caused President Clinton to urge other school districts to move to uniforms in his 1996 State of the Union Address. This started a seemingly endless debate over school uniforms in public schools. In order to be legal, every uniform policy has to have an option to not participate. Students that “opt-out” attend other schools that do not have uniform policies.…

School uniforms have been around for over a century in the private school sector of the United States. In the 1980s school officials in California began considering mandatory school uniforms in public schools as a way of decreasing gang related violence. The ensuing debate gained momentum in January of 1996 when President Clinton endorsed the idea in his State of the Union Address. The issue of requiring school uniforms in public schools is still a heated debate today.…
Nowadays school uniforms are becoming more and more common. About one in five public schools mandate students to wear uniforms, in turn gaining many benefits. However, many of these schools have received criticism for restricting students’ freedom. However, mandatory uniforms will increase academic performance, while lowering crime and bullying amongst the school’s population.…
Trendy hair styles, fashionable clothing and excessive accessories are all distracting variables that are by no means exhaustive. Allowing students to make their own clothing decisions for college may be very judgmental. Conversely, with everyone wearing the same type of clothing eliminates the chaos about the dress code at the tertiary level. As tertiary level students, we regard it a privilege to wear uniforms at the Montego Bay Community College. Every school is in essence a learning environment; hence we believe that wearing uniforms assist in keeping students in the right frame of mind for learning and is used as a way of identifying students belonging to a particular institution.…
