<p>Do you like uniforms in boarding schools, or would you rather wear what you want when you want? </p>
<p>At Exeter, all the boys wear ties – which is very classy even if many of them are only half knotted or droopy. The girls have more latitude, but (unlike high school) slutty won’t work.</p>
<p>Personally, I like the uniform look. None of my schools have them, but I love Exeter’s dress code. I’ve always been very classy/preppy, and I think it’d be fun to go to school with other people like that :)</p>
<p>I personally love uniforms! The school I hope to attend has one, and I just love it! I’ve never really worn classy/preppy until a couple of weeks ago, but I like the way it looks!</p>
<p>I love Exeter’s dress code because it isn’t preppy/snobby but its still clean and the tumblr best exemplifies their dress code.</p>
<p>I love uniform: makes it easier for kids and parents.</p>
<p>Public school districts could easily move to uniform policy but usually it is the mothers of the girls that object – they want their girls to wear the latest fashions and compete on the dating battlefield and wear brands. These are, unfortunately, the mothers that control the school boards. They hide their desire to dress their girls like pornstars behind the argument that dress is an extension of the first amendment (freedom of speech) or, absurdly, that requiring uniforms imposes harsh new expense of new dresses on the girls. Public schools have decided they have better battles to fight than the dress code battle, even though an absurd amount of research shows that dress codes are beneficial for discipline and self-esteem. And, frankly, lots of kids think its cool. Its the moms – living vicariously through their daughters – that kill it, every time. Men who mostly go to work every day in ties have no problem with seeing their sons wear ties to class. Its the moms who want to make their girls look hot that are the problem, every time.</p>
