Question

1 Are school uniforms a good idea for public school students? Absolutely, and students should be required to wear them. Uniforms get rid of the distractions of designer clothes so students can concentrate on their studies. Uniforms also create an environment in which students will be judged on personality rather than fashion. Finally, uniforms save money and time. 2 While attending a private school, I was mandated to wear uniforms and it was a pleasure. We had many students from all walks of life. As soon as the bell rang, however, our economic advantages or disadvantages were no longer obvious. We were able to concentrate on history and math instead of fashion and style. Aptitude and attitude were more important than my clothes. 3 My parents and I saved a lot of money. I did not need a fancy wardrobe and I could spend my money on things other than shoes and designer handbags. Wearing a uniform helped me to realize I didn’t need to spend all my money on the latest fashion. 4 Getting ready in the morning was a snap! No more deciding what to wear. I saved about an hour every day. Sometimes I would sleep in, other times I would study or watch television. 5 Think about it. An extra hour every morning to do something other than running around like a chicken with its head cut off, looking for something to wear. 6 I understand why many of you might think school uniforms would be terrible. You probably fear that the uniforms would be ugly or tacky or uncool. I admit, it took a little bit of time to get used to the idea but after a few days it was great. Almost all of my fellow classmates got used to the idea and actually liked the clothes. Plus, after school we all changed into our ‘cool’ clothes anyway. 7 Our uniforms consisted of khaki pants and skirts, and dark blue knit cotton shirts and sweaters and sweatshirts. Our school colors were tan and dark blue so wearing uniforms also created a sense of pride and school spirit. 8 People in the military wear uniforms. Our police and firefighters wear uniforms. Doctors and nurses wear uniforms. Almost everyone in the work place wears a uniform. Your school is your job and your school is your work place. Think about it. 9 To wrap things up, let me just say that the school board would be doing a great service by requiring you to wear uniforms while attending school.
