School uniforms, my state law says nothing about them, so, lol.

I know private schools mostly wear uniforms. Public schools I don't think can set a uniform code but they can set a dress code. Personally I liked the uniforms when my daughter was in private school as their wasn't a 30 min. debate every morn on what to wear to school.

In some public schools, uniforms are a way of getting away from gang dress. My son attended a public high school that had definite dress codes. Not uniforms, but dress codes. He learned how to dress properly for the ocassion.

At the schools over here you cant wear wife beaters (white tank tops) or plain white T-shirts to school, because thats what the gangbangers wear, and ofcourse girls cant wear half shirts either, ect. I am talking about my kids elementary school anyways, I know at the high school you cant wear plain white T-shirts either...I'm not sure if you can wear Dickys or not either, I dont think so, they even consider that gang related:rolleyes:

When I went to Junior High School (when John F. Kennedy was President), it was manditory that shirts have collars and tucked in the pants; belts had to be worn through the loops; and shoes had to be shined. No sneakers except during PE!

...what in heck is "frig"? :confused:

[aclu14]

Short for "What in the hell!!!???"

Well, we have no dress codes in schools and that´s good. Everybody have right to dress how he/she want´s (or how his/hers parents want) but it´s not schools sake to say how to dress. That´s enough at students HAVE clothes...

"wife beaters": the high point of the western fashion

Part of school education is learning to dress for the ocassion. Kids want to learn to protest. But they don't know what they're protesting!

How can we teach our children they are free to seak and express themselves and then force them to wear uniforms in school.

Uniforms strip people of their individuality and a means to express themselves. Mourners wear black at funerals, many people wear green on St. Pats day as well as clothing for other special days.

My daughter was sent home from school fro wearing shorts that my wife and I bough for her. They were ot beyond her fingers when her arms were down. I called the school and complained. I was told shorts on girls were distracting to boys in class. So be it they may, but the problem is not with the shorts it's with the boys that cannot be responsible enough to behave correctly in class.

By thier logic if you were walking down the street and someone didn't like your cloths and decided to destroy your cloths it would be your fault for wearing them.

I remember when if you were a guy and had long hair you were considered a "hippy" and the word wasn't used nicely. Later if you cut your hair military style and short you were a gang-banger or skin head.

I don't care how anyone dresses or grows thier hair, if they are happy with it who am I to tell them otherwise?

I'd like to see the so called "gangbangers" start wearing suits and perhaps different color ties to seperate themselves. Would schools then ban suits and ties or ties of a certain color? When does it ever end?

How about we teach our children to respect the choices and lives of other people as we would like for ourselves. Lets not punish people who do no wrong because of those that control themselves.

One argument I often hear in agreement with dress codes claims that by establishing a uniform dress code will eliminate any disruptions in the classroom because all the pupils will be "the same". However, this claim is utterly rediculous. While all the students may wear the same uniform, other factors will surely differentiate the students from one another, and as a result are sure to cause disruptions. For instance, students could pick on other students for: making high/low grades, their hair cut, their weight/height, their personality, their race, their gender, and even the way which the uniform fits them. If anyone disagrees that students can find almost anything to make fun of one another about, that person has obviously never attended a public school.

If one wishes to use this argument to vouch for mandatory school uniforms, I urge that person to keep on looking for a REAL reason why it should be implemented.
