thinking of what everyone thinks out there.

For myself I find that a school with uniforms is better, at least for me it is. You won’t have to worry about who’s wearing what or what colors are okay to wear and which ones aren’t. I like the idea that each child will look the same because you won’t be worrying about which one has the next “Cool t-shirt” or even how many different color shirts they need.

Instead they’ll wear the same thing day after day, you can have two or even three shirts, skirts or pants and not worry. Your child will just need it re-washed during the week. Yes, it might mean more laundry but you won’t have to deal with the “Mom, I have nothing g that goes with my green jeans.” Instead it’ll be “Mom, wears my paid skirt, pants, shirt.” You’ll just state you have another one in the closet. Sigh with relief.

What are your thoughts? Are you for or against school uniforms and why?

School Uniforms: Yes or No

There are plenty of other reasons why parents and school administrators love the idea of uniforms, including:

PROS

• Reduces the incident of inappropriate fashion statements (short shorts, inappropriate statements on tshirts, spaghetti straps, etc.)
• School uniforms generally cost less than designer fashions and reduce the pressure on kids and families to be wearing the latest trends and designer brands.
• Helps decrease the development of cliques based on who’s wearing the cool clothes.
• Reduces crime related to stealing designer clothes
• Uniforms emphasize membership and group identity, fostering a community spirit.
• When students are similarly dressed it makes it easier to detect a school intruder or identify students on school outings.
• Helps kids realize that you are more than your clothes.

CONS:

• Hampers self expression and promotes conformity.
• Uniforms can be expensive.
• Uniforms do not entirely prevent the formation of cliques or gangs.
• Inappropriate views by students can still be expressed in other ways.

So what is your view? Are school uniforms good or bad? Take a moment and vote, then leave a comment and let us know! Joe at Thinking Forward is talking about this, too.
