silver tears just one question...does your school allows casual fridays? A casual friday means that you get to dress up in your own fashion and not in uniform. In my job, I have to wear a uniform. But on Fridays I could wear regular street clothes. So do you think that your school would allow a casual friday?
We have civies days once a month for this
atleast you guys have something 😖
our school has that rule too - no peircings and all.shirts and blouses tucked in,school skirts can't be anything more than 2 inches sbove knee level,pants cannot be baggy,white based shoes with only black or navy blue trimmings,white ankle socks...
and they even control what kind of undergarments we can wear 😖
Actually... I graduated from "public schools" Elementary and High School. School uniforms were required. When it says "uniform" it should have been UNIFORM. When the color is "blue" it should have been BLUE. No light blue, no navy blue. The shoes must be black leather shoes, no rubber shoes, no sandals.
Everyone should look neat. Uniform haircuts for the boys. No earings, no tattoos. So, every male student is physically scanned before you can get enrolled.
During college ... No uniform, you can be their student as long as you obey their Rules and Regulations ... and you pay.

It's in the student's ATTITUDE that matters in adapting his school environment. So, there's no question whether the school policy regarding uniform and stuff is right or wrong. They're doing it to make a single student become a better person.
And ... I'm very proud of these schools were I came from.
In fact, we don't have any Educational Institutions like what you think, fins, in our country. 🙂 Our government is aware of that. We excell in almost all fields - from smaller ones to higher ones. 50,000 medical professionals from our country are hired in UK every year. Thousands of Engineering workers hired in Middle east every year. Proof enough that our country deals with Healthy Education and Work Professionalism. 🙂

As has been said before, if all of the pupils in a school are made to dress the exact same way then their attentions are not distracted towards individuality and they will then be expected to concentrate more on their studies.
This is also bollocks, no offence. IMO the uniform makes it just slightly harder to determine what kind of person someone is. If they're a skater, and you're a goth. Or they play rugby, and you play basketball, and you want to make some friends when you move to a new school, you have a big chance of sitting with the wrong 'group'. Then, the people who you actually wanted to sit with, they think you're not one of them.
I still have arguements with people I don't like, insult people that are nasty to me, and take the piss out of people. The uniform doesn't change a thing.

Just because you still search out your sub-group within the uniformity of the school does not mean that you are not affected by the uniform policy. You are just resisting it as most young people do.
While most young-folk don't like uniformity thrust upon them they WILL wear uniforms if they want to be a part of those sub-groups that I speak of. After all, wearing black and purple and gothic bling is just another uniform.
By making everybody look and dress the same the school is trying to steer the young-folk away from the distraction that personalised fashion in a school environment certainly is.

Does that matter? Most of my friends do not share the same music and dress sense that i do. Maybe if what people wear affects your judgement of them it would be better for your school to have a uniform?
Proof enough that our country deals with Healthy Education and Work Professionalismand how many comes from schools that are more of bootcamps than schools.

I go to a catholic high school in a little suburb of Toronto.So we have an enforced uniform policy in our school.
Dress pants, shirts, kilts, dress shoes, etc..
No hats are to be worn inside between 8:40 and 2:40 too.Do you think it's right that the school put into the policy that no piercings that are un natural are allowed? I don't mean the plain ears, double holes thing, I'm talking about eyebrow, lip, nose, etc....
Do you agree or disagree with it?
Darling, every school in England has this policy until you're at least 16. Even some sixth formers still have to wear uniform - thankfully not at my school!
Is uniform really that uncommon in America?
At ours, all students except sixth formers had to wear black trousers or skirt, black shoes ((with no bigger than 3 inch heel)), white shirt, marroon jumper with school crest, no visible tats and only allowed small stud earrings or one ring or one necklace max. Girls aren't even supposed to wear make-up before GCSE years - I actually got sent to wash mine off once!
Even sixthformers had rules - dress code had to be 'reasonable', and we were sent home if the teachers thought it anything but!

Maybe...
But I suppose, where I can see your arguement as reasonable, and that it is a good arguement, some of the arguements against uniform are reasonable too. Surely you can see that?
If someone wants to wear certain clothes, then fair dos, let them. But otherwise I just think people don't like being forced to wear uniform.
Probably my views will change as I get older, though I find it hard to think why now. Maybe because my school is quite lax about uniform.#
Black bottoms(not jeans), white polo-shirt and a black jumper. Apart from that we can do what we want. Doesn't mean we all get tattoos, but I know a few people with them, and a lot with a lot of earrings.
