Students at Booker T. Washington Middle School were upset by the news that uniforms would be required for the upcoming school ye
ar. Blanca Torres interviewed students about their feelings for the yearbook. "What is the problem you have with uniforms?" Blanca asked a group of sixth through eighth graders.
Seventh-grader Ben Napoleon said, "I'm not the same as everyone else. I'm unique, and I should be able to dress the way I want to dress!"
Other students agreed. Sherri Belo, an eighth grader, said, "I agree with Ben. I have great fashion sense, and I deserve to show it off."
For her follow-up question, Blanca asked the group, "The administration tells us that uniforms will help foster school spirit. Is this not a good reason?"
Yanez Berrios, a sixth grader, quickly jumped in, saying, "School spirit isn't contagious if it's forced. There are much better ways to show it."
Seventh-grader Torrey Smith had this to say: "I think uniforms are a good idea. Some kids won't talk to you if your pants don't have the right label. I think that's wrong. Plus, I hate having to figure out what to wear every day! Still, it would have been nice if the principal would have talked to us about it before."
Blanca concluded her interviews by explaining what would happen next. "As far as the school is concerned, this is a done deal. We will be wearing uniforms next year. If you or your parents have questions or concerns, you are encouraged to email the administration. Thanks for speaking with me today."
