Thoughts on uniforms.

<p>I would hate them. I despise any sort of uniform because it seems too imposing to me. Why does anyone care what I wear (as long as it isn’t slutty). I also hate formal attire. </p>

<p>If my school implemented a dress code, they probably would have a few issues with me because I would keep trying to find ridiculous ways to alter my uniform. I live for protest, and if they gave me a venue like that then they are just asking for it.</p>

<p>@tipa891: Why do you hate formal attire?</p>

<p>@BNubbs: If only I knew why they all equal each other. :)</p>

<p>It bugs me that people require me to wear it just for the sake of appearances, it seems to stifle individuality. Also, it isn’t particularly comfortable. The whole tradition of it seems dumb to me. The reasons supporting it aren’t good enough for me to agree with it.</p>

<p>Also, uniforms seem to promote double standards between men and women</p>

<p>We have a dress code here too, but it’s not strict at all. We can wear practically anything but no skin/undergarments can be shown from just above the knee to a couple inches below the neck (depends heavily on gender). However, I wouldn’t mind a uniform much as long as it was easily variable. Freedom of expression is a big deal to me, I don’t want to look like everyone else!</p>

<p>@tipa891: I understand, but do you go to school with many students who decide that everyone of their body parts should be exposed? It just disgusts me that people take the freedom of wearing anything to an extreme point where you don’t even want to look at the person. </p>

<p>@iloveconverse: What I thought should happen is that we should be able to wear different colors, just a certain type of top and bottom. For example: collared shirts, skirts, etc. Although I believe that the shoes should be completely free. Showing your foot isn’t a crime. (:</p>

<p>I love my dress code. I go to a Catholic school and all of the other Catholic schools in the city wear some choice of dress pants like navy or khaki, white button-downs and ties (the only freedom they get is any tie they want). </p>

<p>My school got rid of this maaany years ago thank god. We have khaki, grey, black, and navy pants, and polo shirts (or golf shirts, whatever you call them) which come in red, white, blue, navy, grey, and the seniors also get extras which change every year (seniors vote, we got black, baby blue, light pink, magenta, green, purple). The shirts come in long sleeves too if you want but we also have a million different school sweatshirts and team sweatshirts. We cant wear anything non-school related, except seniors after first semester can start wearing college sweatshirts.</p>

<p>Takes stress away from “What am I going to wear” even though we have a lot of options</p>

<p>^ What do the girls wear? Because that actually sounds manageable!</p>

<p>Oh yeah the girls wear exactly the same thing lol. A lot of the girls get their pants altered so that they are more tighter fitting, although the school says they are against that. But most of them don’t since they just dont care to. Skirts were done with about 6 or 7 years ago because they’d roll them up or whatever and look slutty</p>

<p>There are also some sweatshirt sort of options for the girls, like school-logo cardigans and some others</p>

<p>I’m surprised to see so many people supporting this. When I was in middle school the district tried to do something similar and we shot it down, fast. There are way too many conformists here.</p>

<p>@Nadizzle: The girls in my school do occasionally wear some risque attire, but they normally get in trouble for it if it is too obscene, but even if they didn’t, I would rather look at them then get a uniform</p>

<p>@Mathemagician1: I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing… (:</p>
