Uniform Dress Code

Pros

1. School uniforms
would save parents money.

2. School uniforms would save parents
time.

Kids in the morning would not haveto make up their minds on
what to wear.

3. Kids who's parents would not or could not buy them the newest
trend, would not be embarrassed or harassed

because of their clothes.

4. Kids social standing
would be based more on individual character and less their economic status.

5.Lots of gangs use clothes to identify
themselves and other gangs.

6.Some kids use baggy clothes to hide weapons and drugs.



7.Uniforms make it easy to identify kids who belong
in the school.





Cons





1. Why not simply remove the gang members from the
schools and place them in an alternative learning environment like a boot
camp?



2. School Uniforms are expensiveand have no use out
side of school.



3. School uniforms will donothing but cut down on a
students individuality.



4. A uniform is not the wayto cut down on school violence.



5. The only thing that will cut down on school violence
is if parents would pay attention to their children and keep their children
out of trouble and give them consequences when they disobey and not to let
them run wild.

6. School is also the place where the next actors,
writers, artists, politicians,inventors, designers and and musicians are
trained.



7.School uniforms senda clear early-life message to
students that conformity is important and creativityis not, that authority
is allowed to abuse it's power and constrain our constitutional right to
free speech and expression, (Tinker vs. Dimoines).



8. Students learn from uniforms that their individuality,
political opinions and religiousrights are unimportant, as is their education:
students are regularly suspendedfor non compliance to the uniform code even
if their school work is excellent.



9. If all students wear uniforms anda crime was commited
or someone was attacked, it will be hard to identify the victim and the attacker.
Due to all students wearing uniforms at the time of the attack or crime.







I feel strongly about this issue because I am for
the dress code of Uniforms in schools. Uniforms set aside social classes
and creates equality among all students. Also school uniforms alleviate the
issue of theft and peer pressure issues as well. It also gives us practice
for real world attire. It is my opinion that school is in the 'business'
of learning. School is the place where the next lawyers, bankers, CPA's and
Doctors are given the fundamentals of working in this economy. One of the
basics of our culture in the working world is conservative dressing, dress
code, or even uniforms. When getting out into the real world by looking for
a job or going to work, you would know how to dress professionally. And also
because I think Uniforms are cute to wear,as a girl I wouldn't mind wearing
one if I had to.
