I am completely against them. Uniforms tear children to conformity and rob them of individuality. No two people are alike, but mandatory uniforms make students appear to be clones. School uniforms lack self-expression, leading many children to experience culture shock in the real world. Uncomfortable uniforms are an academic distraction. Children just won't feel right in their own skin when uniforms are forced on them. Uniforms can be a financial burden on some families, and is even worse when schools charge the families for the clothing. The First Amendment states that all American citizens have the right to self-expression. Identical uniforms contradict this right. Uniforms don't improve grades o reduce bullying. They're hard to enforce in public schools. There are honestly too many reasons why they're horrible. I should know, I've gone to a public school where they enforce such stupidity. It's all personal experience. Most of the kids there are generic moronic conformists, they're the same idiots tu see in every school. They just rebel more.
We're suppose to be unique, right?
This picture depresses me...It makes me sad to see conformity spread to children.

Thanks to whoever voted me as best answer. I don't get it very much. ^^'
...Holy crap. xD This little thing became best answer? That means a bunch to me, mainly because I only had one so far. @skipperfan5431 I shall give tu a golden shower. xD
i get your point, darkhorn19, its a very good answer, its just, tu can buy segundo hand unifroms that are almost brand new, instead of feeling pressure to have to buy new clothes constantly, so you're not wearing the same outfits all the time, i havent exactly got the biggest wardrobe ever, so if unifroms weren't a part of my school, id be so embarresed to wear clothes twice o three times a week, because i dont have that many pairs of jeans. i recently bought my school uniform and it only cost me 10 euro (im irish) segundo hand.
against!! in my school, the uniform is navy blue and white clothes and that really REALLY sucks!!

Yeah, my old school made us wear that bullshit. Now I have to wear this red & white camisa, camiseta the school is selling...ONLY the school is selling...Doesn't take much of a brain to know they're greedy-fucks.
Against, for 4 reasons 1. I use my chaqueta as sort of a más convenient backpack, it has these huge inside pockets. Where will I keep my pencils and pens, o even my notebook if I didn't have my jacket? 2. What if I wanted to wear my suit to the first Japanese club meeting of the year, o the last, o just randomly for no reason? I can't do that. o what about those times that I will be wearing my kimono to school? I can't do that ether. 3. What if they force us to wear what is not comfortable? I for one can NOT stand shorts, if they make us wear shorts, I will never be able to concentrate. It will be the other way around for people who like shorts. 4. Our country (Assuming tu are talking about countries like the United States of America) is founded on freedom, freedom of expression. If I wanted to wear a freaking kimono to school then what right does the government have to take that away. Their are some understandable restrictions to this freedom, like I can't go to school naked o anything, and it would be nice if they would outlaw those pants that people wear so low that tu can see their butt crack. (I know there are some people out there who like crack, but not that kind.) and I can see why this may be contributing to why they may be thinking of making us wear school uniforms (other things include sexually suggestive T-shirts E.C.T.)
It isn't a problem for countries like japón where the people are used to it, but not here in America.
Though personally I think that if they do make us wear uniforms, it should look like Japanese school uniforms. (Miniskirts FTW *,* )
I'm for unifroms. For one, I'm not exactly Paris Hilton o anything, I don't have closets adn closets full of clothes, and whether tu realise it o not, thats one of the first things anybody judges tu on. School is hard enough, we get judged for who we are plenty without clothes coming into it too. In our uniforms, we all essentially look the same (except obviously for small details, hair, eyes, physicality etc) and thats why I like it. Also, if you're ever involoved in an accident and you're wearing your uniform, tu can be quickly identified. To be honest on non-uniform days all there is is pressure to look the best, the hottest, the cutest etc... I don't think I could live with that every day.

"Also, if you're ever involoved in an accident and you're wearing your uniform, tu can be quickly identified." Umm...could tu tell me how that would be possible? If tu look generic, how can tu be identified quickly?
I go to a school without a uniform and nobody has ever judged me o anyone I know por what they wear. Your clothes are just accepted as part of who tu are, and nobody preguntas it. But this is only my experience...it could be different where tu are.
it is VERY different where i am, EalsaidWooster, every spnsored non school uniform día for me is torture, because i no the siguiente día thats all people will talk about, and if tu look even slightly badly dressed, tu will almost be CONDEMED for it. And darkhorn19, we wear a crest on our unifor,s, it is unique to any other school in the country, so if u decide to mitch school for a día and leave the state/county your in (as unlikely as that can be, it DOES happen) and tu ahve an accident, get hit por a car, get mugged etc etc, your crest will identify what school tu go to, and from there get everything anybody needs to know about you. thats how :P
Depends what they look like.. It would be nice to not have to worry about what I have to wear at school every día and what people think about what I wear, because they'd be wearing the same thing. It would also save me time picking out what I want to wear to school every day..
Actually i'm for school uniforms too. Yes they can be drab and may look uncomfortable, but tu can always modify you're uniform to be comfortable for you. If everyone wore practically everything the same, then bullying about someone's fashion sense etc would be lower. It smartens the appearance of the school for visitors and your school could even get dado awards maybe? But i would put a little foot-note at the bottom of your decision requesting that underwear is not part of the school uniform and due to the 'freedom of choice' they can not 'force' students to wear plain white underwear and socks, underwear is the private domain of each individual person and so if a student wants to wear pedo bear boxers underneath their school trousers, so be it. Also tu could have 'sponsored charity non-uniform days' where the school can choose a charity and the students pay £1 o $1 each to wear their own clothes to school, usually on a friday o a public holiday where you're still able to go to school etc. School uniforms may seem a dull thing to have, but actually they can give students confidence to communicate with each other.

...Excuse me, but I just laughed at when tu dicho that children should pay to wear whatever they want on a Friday o public holiday. tu need to see behind the school and what's going on at home. How could a family pay for several pairs of uniforms clothes each año when they barely have money to pay the rent and eat?
I don't know what it's like in america but here in england when a family is below the pan de molde, pan line they not only get discounts and vouchers to get the uniforms but they also get help to pay their rent and also comida coupons. Not my fault if american governemt dosn't want to help those less in need. And why shouldn't they pay? it's for charity after all. Only the most selfish wouldn't give something to those in más need then themselves
Also, don't instigate that i don't know about poor families. I belong to one, my family are very poor and my brother and sisters often have to go without to put comida on the table, so i know from experience what it's like for families with low income, but we still manage to give a little to a charity every now and then and tu don't see my little brother complaining aobut spending what little pocket money they have to wear their own sparse clothes to school. It's not that difficult once tu know how to economise
Mainly against. As a person that usually gets crap for dressing/looking emo/goth, I'm still against it. It's unconstitutional. We can't express ourselves in uniform. And paying to wear regular clothes is downright unnatural. tu should have the right to downright be tu in a school. I'll admit-there should be restrictions, but it shouldn't get so bad that the school will need uniforms. That is stupid. A few years back, my school won an award. Then soon after, they decided that the school system should get uniforms thanks to the older(High school) kids dressing inappropriately, but they started with the kids Middle School and under. Unfair. Needless to say, over half the town was there to protest.
Well I'm against them because they don't mostrar a person's true personality. They cost a lot and what about other clothes Teens and kids have?, it's wasting Parents' money to buy uniforms and wasting the other clothes people have
Instead of debating specific facts o reasons, I will make my points through personal experience, since this is the only really valid viewpoint I can give. Since I have been to both a school with a uniform and a school without a uniform, I feel totally justified in passing judgement.
In primary school we had a uniform; a stupid blue polo neck and black trousers, which isn't bad as uniforms go but I still hated it passionately. It was very bad quality and became ripped easily and often. It was also very uncomfortable to wear. But I hated it most of all because it was not my choice to wear it. Although I was quite young, I resented the fact that I was being told what to wear - I wanted to wear clothes that I felt comfortable in. I also thought it was stupid that I had plenty of everyday clothes to wear (though I didn't get much of a chance to wear them) but my parents still had to pay for a uniform I didn't even want.
I am now in high school, and we don't have a compulsory uniform (although there are school hoodies available) and it is brilliant! It's funny how small things like that affect you. I feel a lot más comfortable now that I am able to decide what I want to wear. Instead of feeling insignificant, like a small part of a vast body of students, I feel like a person. Like I have a place in the school as an individual. I can have a relaxed, casual día if I feel like it, o I can dress a bit smarter. The point is that it is my decision.
In my province (Quebec,Canada),in my school,we MIGHT have to were uniforms to school siguiente year!!! Ill DIE if I have to were a uniform! especially if there uncomfortable and ugly! Yeah,I could not stand it!
