NO to uniforms!
- Uniforms are so bleurghhh! They are expensive and a hassle to get dressed into. They also do not let us express ourselves. They teach us that we are all special and all at school, but what is the point of that when our uniforms are SCREAMING at us the exact opposite?!?!

Why?
- I think that school uniforms are awful. I can give your 3 reasons WHY. They don't express anyone! They are just plain gross in general, they just want you to buy clothes tgat are really unnessacry. Are princable wants us to have them. They are so expensive they make me cry. My family is that poor but having those meant another expense. Ugh, that is so stupid! I think so uniforms should be Banned!

Being a 11 year old...NO!
- I know that people in my school like to express their thoughts in clothing. Goth people express their feeling through clothing and it ruins our creativity!! I'm glad i found this im doing a research paper about this topic right now(:

why oh why
- No, schools only use uniforms to try to get rid of bullying, buts its not what you wear that bully's its who you are. I went to a school with uniforms and there are still girls dressing like hookers and guys with there pant sagging, dont get me wrong i hated wearing a uniform it sucks and i hate the fact that i got sent too iss because my bracelet said something the teacher didnt agree with the constitution says you have a freedom of speech that you have freedom to be your self no matter who that may be we have a freedom to dress however we want and i know ive gone a little bit over board with his "speech" but its what i believe in

BANNING IT!
- I think school uniforms should be banned from every school in the world! Reasons why? - They don't save money, because of the daily washing! - They won't stop kids from bullying eachother! - They are boring and ugly! - There's no way for kids to show expression and individuality! - They don't spend time in the mornig, because kids now want to spend more time on their hair! And probably many other reasons!!

uniforms are not cool
- people should be free people should be able to express their style and creative unifoms don't let us do that the are expensive. the whole point is schools should not have uniforms because the are not cool

what the heck
- i say no kids should not have to wear uniforms especially if the teachers and principals dont have to either. also it doesnt help the grades our children get. it doesnt effect there learning so why do it if there is no point to it.

Uniforms
- I think schools should wear uniform for safety.also so parents will safe more money.
- —Guest Elizabeth
no way
- I don't think we should have uniforms because it stops a kid from expressing themselves in an appropiate way. If they can't express themselves in an appropiate way they will end up expressingthemselves in the mosy horrible ways imagineable
- —Guest bobby boy
yes
- we should have uniforms because it would take away the violence of gang related colors

only one reason
- i see that those who oppose having uniform in our schools only seem to have one argument. "the child dosent get to express themselves". i dont believe school is really a place for expression through clothing,maybe your writing or artwork. We say school is to prepare our children for the future, well what good does it bring upon them if when they get out to the work force and they come to the realization that every job has a dress code. restraunts, some causual with a logo t-shirt and jeans to colored white shirts and black slacks, cops, mailmen, firemen, doctors all have specific uniforms for thier occupation. you really think that doctor is worried about the fact that he/she isnt expressing his/herself through thier clothing? No! he/she is focused on his/her job and for a child in the grades K-12 i believe thier occupayion at the time is school and they should be focused on learning, not focused on how they can and cant express themselves through clothing as proven that gets you nowhe

cost
- Not sure where you guys are getting your price info... My son wears uniforms and we spend, at most, $150 per year including his shoes. The uniforms are made to hold up to daily wear and washing. We are able to wear the same uniforms for mulitple years and the schools do used uniforms sales twice a year and we bascially trade uniforms for different sizes at no cost... I personally love uniforms and think the kids look great. They do not all look the same. Becasue you are not paying attention to their clothing, you can truly see each child's true individual features and personalities. Clothing should not define who we are...

NO!
- Everyone should be able to express their own creativity. It's should be free choice. Every morning I look for my school uniform underneath all of my nice looking clothes. We look the same everyday. But I do agree if we were to have free choice then, yes, we should dress appropriately. But it's most likely we would. And we should still wear closed in shoes. Our school has a particular colour- dark green - and now they are bringing out dark green swimmers with a frilly bit on the bottom. Not cool! It's just so ugly because the hats aren't cool either! They are wide brimmed green hats with my school name all over it. Yeah so some people in the school buy new clothes and then have to go to school in a uniform and when it's nowhere near the holidays and you've got new clothes, every weekend is the only time you get to wear them!!! That's only 2 whole days and the weekend always zooms past! So I hope you understand from my point of view why we shouldn't have ugly annoying uniforms!!!!!!!!!!!
