School Uniforms 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. Supporters

School Uniforms School uniforms are not anything new. The idea of having uniformity in school is appealing to most educators and parents. On the other hand‚ to other students and parents‚ the idea of not being able to express ones’ self is just wrong. I must say‚ personally I agree with the students and parents against school uniforms. Take for example high school. High school is usually a time where young children or teens begin to distinguish themselves from one another. Students begin to

There are many schools in the U.S. that require their students to wear uniforms‚ and there’re also some that don’t. I believe that school uniforms should not be required for a few reasons. Uniforms take away from a person’s individual identity‚ and they can be costly to people depending on their financial status. School uniforms can also be a very uncomfortable fashion that students would not take a liking to. The first reason uniforms should not be required is that most schools across the country

School uniforms I am against school uniforms because there is not reason for them but to keep us looking appropriate and not dress inappropriate for class. The benefits of not having a uniform is be yourself‚ be comfortable‚ have your own style‚ and stand out.

We want to be comfortable at school because wearing a uniform for girls we are in skirts so we

"Just slapping clothes on kids won’t improve a school‚ but uniforms accompanied by other reforms can make a difference. Uniforms send a message and remind students that they are in school. One element of the message is that when you are going to school‚ that is your place of work. That is the place where you are working at getting smart." ~Joe Palumbo. Uniforms cause children to be more civilized and mature in what they are doing. It could lead the kids to a greater future and teach them to be more

SCHOOL UNIFORMS Today’s high schools have been turned into a fashion show by students. They wear what they want‚ which distracts them from studying. Teenage students spend most of their time talking about styles rather than focusing on their education. They spend a lot of money every year buying clothes. By requiring school uniforms‚ high schools concentration on studying may be more accurate‚ students may be united in shapes‚ and they may spend less money on clothes every year. School

School Uniforms If public school students had one thing over private school students‚ that would be the freedom to choose what they wear to school. It could soon be hard to tell the two groups apart with more and more public school going to mandatory uniforms. According to former President Bill Clinton in his 1996 State of the Union Address‚ “If it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets‚ then our public schools should be allowed to require the students to wear

Uniforms in the School Environment: Can Clothing Really Effect Your Education? Going to public schools all my life‚ I heard the gossip of "fashion" and "whose wearing what‚"pretty much everyday; at least in the four years of high school where it seemed that looks mattered the most. As people grow up‚ the way they present themselves becomes more and more important. Leaving a good mark in high school means a lot to some people‚ and some are ready to do whatever it takes to make that mark‚ whether

Why Schools Should Not Have Uniforms There are a lot of debates going on as to whether schools should have uniforms or not. In my opinion schools shouldn’t have school uniforms. My arguments are‚ first‚ having uniforms will not help the school environment. Second‚ some families can’t afford the cost of two different wardrobes. Finally‚ uniforms take away from the student’s style and individuality. Uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages. The first reason why schools should not
