Why Not School Uniforms?

I believe students should were uniforms. I don't consider it a robbery of the chance to show ones individuality because many times this chance is abused. Whether in the form of not enough clothing or a clique wearing all the same cloths or ridicule for not wearing this or that(which based on this whole individuality thing is saying there's something wrong with who you are because of your cloths) the purpose is essentially defeated.

A uniform does not have to be a specific blouse and skirt or shirt and pants. Uniforms simply mean there is some predictability and respectability in what students will wear. Simple rules and requirements to ensure decent dress will help student feel freer and not forced into all looking the same. For example, boys must were belts, fastened at the waist not below.

T-shirts must not display any obscene language, Girls skirts and dresses should be at least a foot from their waist. No higher than two and half inch heels. No more than a inch of cleavage. Such measures still allow for freedom, but ensure there will be more cloths than skin visible and greatly reduce cliquing due to your attire. Also, to encourage school spirit specific school colors can be instigated.

There once was a time when only private schools or academies reaped up the goods of an established dress code. These schools were seen as prestigious, high quality educational institutions. Parents who felt the need to ensure their children got an uncompromised education and who had the money to shell out, sent their kids to such schools. I myself was sent to such a school and then on to home schooling.

Public schools are often, though not always seen as the dirty alternative. Meaning 'my child may not turn out right if I send him/her there. If you take notice the schools aren't seen that way are the one that have an establish dress system and quality teachers.

When a parent considers enrolling their child in a certain school, and they see children walking about in decent, respectable clothes showing their school colors, and there really isn't a hostile attitude to anyone because of their outfit, any mom, dad OR child would think "I'd really like to go to this school".

Because the focus has been shifted from attire to academics, children feel more comfortable and at ease in their environment meaning better performance. On the other hand, a school full of a bunch of cliques and know one exempted from the labeling process, would turn a parent away with the thoughts that if their child doesn't fit in some clique they'll very lonely indeed.

So yes all public schools should establish uniforms in my opinion.
