Uniforms

wear school uniforms. Common uniforms include khaki pants, a plain collared shirt, and classic plain, white shoes. Over the past few years, public high school uniforms have steadily increased. The National Center for Education showed that, “as of 2007-2008, 16.5% of public school require a school uniform” (“How Many Schools Have Uniforms or Standardized Dress?”). Because more schools are demanding a uniformed dress code, the percentage has gradually gone up. According to “School Uniforms-…

number of public schools requiring uniforms. It is irresponsible to require a uniformed dress code in public schools because not only is it costly, with supposed benefits that are inaccurate, but it also destroys individuality and redirects bullying to other areas. Requiring uniforms in public schools is not free; in fact it is extremely costly, with Americans spending around one billion dollars per year on the ensembles.

Pro School Uniforms From 7th-8th grade I was placed in a public school setting. This school in particular had no uniform options, so I was forced to have to pick out an outfit every day of every week. This was so stressful and hard for me, and definitely put a toll on my education. I didn’t have the fanciest clothes then, and I most times re-wore the same things repeatedly. This did cause me to feel embarrassed because I thought I was the only one going through this issue. If uniforms were…

The idea of having to wear a school uniform originated from England when boys with hair above their shoulders and girls with dresses below their ankles. School uniforms are slowly coming back and they are being used in more public schools today. Public schools should use school uniforms because students would not be jealous of others and students would be more focused on their grades rather than their clothes. If schools used uniforms students would be less jealous of others. In Detroit a 15…

In “When a Uniform Is Office Attire, Thousands of feet in the Air,” Heather Poole feels strongly towards the use of uniforms in the work force. To Poole, every business should have an attire that has a correlation with the importance of their job. There may come a time where one has to find a specific person, and the only thing separating them from the rest is their uniform. Having this structure in today's society could be very beneficial. The work place is a professional atmosphere and should…

While the Uniform Crime Reports were ground breaking for tracking crime data nationally, there were many flaws with the system. The Federal Bureau of Investigation would send out paper reports for the local agency to fill out and return. This system leaves a lot of room for human bias, as well as honest mistakes, when reporting crimes. These reasons alone are enough to question whether the reports were an accurate account of crime in the country. Uniform Crime reports also had several other…

There I was standing in front of that shiny maple, endless, terrifying basketball court. My hands felt like I had literally submerged them in a bucket of water. My heart was pounding uncontrollably. I couldn’t understand why I had accepted to play just to please others. Was I really going to overcome everyone’s high expectations of me? Was I capable of mastering something I wasn’t ready for? Why do people tend to judge you by the way you look, and expect you to be someone you are not. There is a…

year. In my view, high schools should require their students to wear school uniforms for two important reasons. The main reason is that they should think about poor students. When they allow students to wear whatever they want, it will create a huge gap between rich and poor students in terms of brands and accessories. For example, I went a private high school that has lots of rich kids. It was mandatory to wear uniforms for 4 days of the week, but on Fridays we were allowed to wear whatever…

Uniforms were first introduced during the reign of King Henry VIII. In 1870 the popularity of uniforms increased and most schools had a uniform that reflected the trends of the time. Today the government believes uniforms are supposed to protect students from social pressures to dress in a particular way, rather than adhering to the fashion trends. All schools have a uniform policy that should follow government equality guidelines, which state that uniforms must meet the needs…
