I believe that uniforms stifle and trample upon one's individuality. I speak from personal experience, attending a school with a dress code. Yes, it does take away a form of peer pressure. But really, what more can a school administration take away from us? Already, we cannot wear the clothes we want to wear, but stripping away our freedom in selection of shoes, socks, accessories, even nail color? I believe that these things would not be a distraction for students, but a device that would help them. Students would not be so uptight and stressed in starched and ironed clothes, but comfortable in their own skin, in clothes they've chosen. It would also take a load off of the administration. Without uniforms, school administrators would not have to stress about rebellious students getting out of line with the dress code. Teenagers are at a critical time in their lives. We are just trying to find ourselves. Uniforms put a stopper on our quest to find individuality. Fashion is one of the essential ways human beings express themselves. I understand that uniforms stop (or attempt to) peer pressure and immodest dress, but those things occur even with uniforms. Some of it is inescapable. Peer pressure can and will occur anywhere, at any time, with anything. Uniforms may have their "blessings", however, I fail to see them.
What do you think? Are you pro-uniform?

I somewhat agree on that. I really think that it's good to cut down on peer pressure any day, but what do i, the homeschool person know?

Go Maddie- go Maddie- uh-huh, uh-huh! Whee! See you Friday.
oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you definitely have a point maddie. i've never been fond of uniforms but they do cut down on peer pressure and people being made fun of because someone decided that they weren't cool enough. but it would be better to do it in a way in which our individuality was not stifled. if that is possible.
hey madie, i was just looking back at ur blog and I think this is like THE BEST post ever. I hink there should be a balance. Like maybe a uniform top and whatever pants you want....and yet there shud still be restricions for your pants/skirt. that way everyone wins. and oyu can make your uniform fabulous
Ah yes school uniforms...wearing the blaser, putting on the tie. Getting to school and grabbing each other's tie. I don't think I ever had my tie on straight the whole time I was in school. In fact, I had my picture taken for a school brochure and my tie was crooked in the picture.

"It would also take a load off of the administration. Without uniforms, school administrators would not have to stress about rebellious students getting out of line with the dress code."
I hope you realize that statement also goes for non-uniformed schools too. There have been issues of girls wearing skirts too short, too tight; tops too revealing; guys wearing their pants waay below their waist, storing away illegal material under the hats they wear...
So there is evidently more issues that administration have to deal with as it concerns a non-uniformed school, it's as a result of this "freedom" why some schools have implemented searches at the gates of the school and metal detectors!
Uniformity helps in disciplining students. Helping them to realize that they are a part of a body that stands for something. This will be good for persons who have to abide by dress codes at work, in the army (for example).
