why must student like myself be told what we can and can not wear?
why must our freedom of choosing our own clothing be stripped from us (pun intended)

uniforms appear to be pointless
the reasons they use to argue the use of uniforms are not sufficent in my eyes.

discuss, what do you think? do you see reason in them?



note, if yo do give your opinion please state if you go to school or not, and if you wear a uniform.

You mean the actual school uniforms (which are all identical) or just the dress code?

yer, uniforms which are identical

it depends, really !

In japan..its awesome


On a more serious note, school uniforms make everyone an equal member of school society ( in theory ).
You cant seperate the poor from the rich just be their clothes, which is a good thing in my opinion.
Not really sure why people are against it, i'd loved to wear a uniform rather than what i got to wear back when i was in school :/

I have uniforms in my school, but I don't mind.
Gives us a reason not to have to pick clothes everyday.
It has to do with kids being jealous of other clothes or something like that.
I think that's why.

are you complaining about uniforms?

and how is there reasoning not sufficient? you just sound like some one who wants to start an argument over a pointless issue.

And we don't need another thread derailed by the subject of "free will"

good point its better than seeing purple and pink colors everywhere.

Omg. My school, people would flip if we had to wear uniforms. A lot of the guys would probably just deal with it as long as the girls had something like what Rutz posted. (MOST GUYS, there would still be some saying "FUCKING HELL NO")

The girls... *UGH* Ok that part of the school used to be their, that.. ...... that looks like something.... only godzilla could do........... Uhm............... .................................. .............. Err....

Those girls are Korean.

Some issues to consider;

Bullying based on what people wear.
- Some people can't afford a wide variety of clothes
- Some people can't afford "good" clothes

Individuality
- School Uniforms promote a sense of it without standing out (i.e. "Hurrdurr Im an individual because I wear black!")
->I.e. real individuality i.e. not "I'm a teenager, so I'm going to join a pseudo-cult in order to stand out". Then you got to a metal/Manson concert and see 9000 "individuals".

Order/Real life
- When you enter the "real world" as it is often called, many occupations require you to dress formally. School uniform is decent practise for it, I guess
- Promotes a sense of order
- All social institutions have a form of dress. eg. Dero Metal heads all wear band t-shirts from tours 14 years ago in public. School is simply another.

@m0o Those girls, are hot, nuff said.

Oh and, I think that you have a point with the whole individuality stuff. But more examples then bashing people who like metal k?

On my point of view, as I forgot to state before somehow. I wouldn't really like school uniforms. Because I like wearing my clothing. My clothes aren't usually all that expensive stuff or anything but hey, nothing wrong with a closet of black ts.
