- Parents, students, and school officials have been fighting for-and against- school uniforms for years now. So as the 2013 school year begins, Anthony seeks an answer once and for all: do school uniforms really help students learn?

if a school has a mandatory uniform the school should provide it and the parents shouldn't pay for it
Matthew Kost Yea. My private school that I went to for my first year of high school before I transferred to a public school required that boys be clean shaven and hair can’t be past the collar. We also couldn’t have our hair too short (#2 buzz and below was against the rules and you would be suspended until it grew back to a #3). Public school is treating me better as I can wear whatever I want and I can have whatever hairstyle/facial hair I want.
I absolutely agree
Don't know where you live, but here, employer does indeed provide all necessary equipment AND clothing needed for the job...
@4 Fake Yeah, but *most* jobs don't require suits, and if they do make you buy them, they are usually a very high paid job, and the suit has meaning. My uniform costs up to £250 per year, easily avoidable if we was able to wear normal clothes.
There is no benefit to uniform, only negatives.
@4 Fake And does that mean my answer is any less valid? I experience the problem first hand.
Name me one positive of having uniform.
I had a Uniform until the last day of summer when I set it on fire.
+Reality's Lie +1
Reality's Lie HAHAHA😂😂
LOL I would do the same thing 😂😂😂
Reality's Lie awesome.
Your awesome
I think it's unfair that some schools force girls to wear only skirts. First off, many girls can find skirts uncomfortable and annoying to wear. Secondly, skirts are freezing in the winter. There was a Catholic school near where I lived as a kid, and in the winter you would see the girls wearing pants _underneath_ their skirts while they walked to school, which they would then have to take off once the entered the building. That is simply absurd. And in my experience, classrooms are pretty cold in the winter. Wearing a skirt would actually distract girls. It's like forcing boys to wear shorts in the winter, you wouldn't do that.
It's also kind of sexist
True but I love skirts sometimes
*****
Yeah, girls were allowed to wear pants or skirts in my old schools.
Boys should also be made to wear skirts. It is the only way to be equal.
Gxi
Boys used to wear dresses. Dresses were pretty unisex for children a long time ago. And some cultures still wear clothing that resembles either a skirt or a dress. (Kilts anyone?)
at my middle school we had a strict dress code and had to be silent almost everywhere, and yet they had the gaul to have a poster saying INDIVIDUALITY!
+PrettyPurpleVMF Lol,Saddening.
Don’t call them an idiot for using their brain to form thoughts and opinions. Besides, how can you have a personality if you’re forced to look and act the same as everybody else.
At my school, we couldn’t even talk at lunch, Everton WHATS to sit there and no one could make a word at all, you had to be 100% silent or you would have to go stand by the stage and help clean after lunch. It was beyond fucked up, they took away our first amendment, I honestly wish so badly I could go back in time and talk so much and refuse to let them silence me, it’s disturbing to punish young children for using they’re mouth that god gave them
Same with every school rn “school is important for socialisation skill” but u can’t even talk in class wtf
School uniforms were adopted entirely in 1930s germany. Look how that turned out.
I'm not a fashion guy, so i really don't mind having uniform. I get up really late in the morning so choosing cloths would be impossible. But i gota say, the 20 minute speeches our teachers give us about uniforms is quite annoying.
that is just sooo true with me
Mark Kennedy think that's bad? one of my teachers spent half an hour explaining how a diary works. To 10th graders. Who'd been using them for 2 years.
Acctually im kinda happy with it lol. Guess why? Wastes my lessons ;D But either way they atleast allow us to wear Black or Navy Blue Plain Jackets which I always wear everyday.
that is a shit approach to school.
I wore uniform until I was 18 and being forced to wear uncomfortable trousers, blazers, shirts and ties didn't improve my education. People were still bullied and beat up, stupid kids wore their ties short, slutty girls pulled their skirts up, everyone still found ways to look like their group (I didn't tuck my shirt in for about 2 years, haha) and everyone hated it. Going to Uni and wearing whatever I wanted for 3 years was paradise. Now I work and have to wear smart shoes, shirts that I hate, etc. We're never free.
good to know thanks for your kind info and do a good job on your work.-Jason😀P.S UNIFORMS SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Our school actually lets the students pick designs for the uniforms made by students from the graphic design classes.
Luke Koziol the school makes a profit as well as the class that makes and prints the shirt, heck even the cooking class has their own little restaurants that go around 3rd period selling food for $1
Uniforms are completely stupid.
Luke Koziol Why do you like them
I have worn uniforms all my life and they suck because all the teachers comment to you about them when you could be learning
What the media tells you on school uniforms is bullshit. I went to a uniform school from 7-8 I got bullied. I never cried but I just became frustrated everyday I came to school. Then I went to high school where there was no uniform and I didn't get bullied. In fact I was respected and clicked with everyone.
Uniforms don't stop people from making fun of you all together. There are other things people get made fun of their size, weight, hair, skin color, hygiene, shoes.
So I like non uniform schools.
As someone who is overweight and is still going through puberty, I hate uniforms.
When I was younger, I'd see all of the skinny girls in their uniforms who somehow actually looked nice in their uniforms and I'd always feel left out because I was nowhere near skinny and my uniform made me feel worse about myself. School uniforms are uncomfortable and rigid. When I was wearing my uniform, I always felt horrible, I just wanted to go home. The few days when we'd have "school spirit week" I felt so much better about myself and wanted to stay and was still self conscious, but had a lot more confidence and happiness even. Even when they'd let us wear our team t-shirts and jeans, I'd feel more confident. That's just my personal experience and my take on it, though. I believe they should at least have uniforms be optional, or have no uniforms but less stress on the dress code.
Same I feel u
Same!!! I'm not that overweight but my uniform does make me insecure about how wide my shoulders are :(
Jewelsofgold That's how I felt but the other way round. All the other girls would look nice in their uniform but because I was so small and skinny I'd look like I was wearing a potato sack It was so uncomfortable and annoying I hated it. When I wore jeans and a top on non infirm days it was so relieving to not be pulling up my pants that didn't fit the whole day and re tucking in the shirt that didn't fit me well because my boobs were too small.
Yep, girls in our school uniform, always roll up their skirts to the very highest point so that you can almost see their butts. They have almost like competitions for the skinniest legs, I swear their legs are as thin as twigs now and it looks so unhealthy.
If anything uniforms encourage body hatred and self loathing.
You look better in your uniform than whatever jeans and T-shirt garbage you wear out of uniform.
They say uniforms are equalisers. Bull. I was tortured just as much in uniform as I was in casual clothes. Uniforms are cages that limit a person's individuality and inhibitits a intoverted person to become more so.
+Luan de Jager Yep.
Well here's the thing,we had to do a google doc on one of our opinions,I chose why schoolsshould have uniforms,yada yada yada,and I said"you wont get bullied about your clothing
because people usually say"your clothes are ugly" well with uniforms,no problem(I've never had uniforms before so...)
Luan de Jager
They ain't necessarily equalizers, but they surely help you focus on your school work and other things you ought to do. Jesus specifically said don't worry about how you're gonna eat or wear. Do your job and all these things will be added onto you.
They didn't really change everything in my school everybody was as wild as ever only with uniforms Everybody looked more similar and Wilder my uniforms were only blue red or white or collar shorts.
most people are saying oh uniform is better, please! I wear uniform and it sucks I wanna wear what i want to wear I hate it :(
You are not alone, I swear I will burn mine at the end of the year and be very happy.
SOI 😂SAME
That use to be my thoughts on highschool but on college where there is no uniform. Fashion became a nightmare.
Dave Von Saunder
Bruh -.-
I hate uniforms. I feel so self cautious in it because of my weight. If I were able to wear tops and trousers that I looked better in maybe I wouldn't have so much social anxiety
+nosobasicbeth I completely agree with you.
the only thing i dont like about my school uniform is that the teachers spend too much time giving us pink slips, or sending us to the discipline office because we had black socks, or we forgot a belt...
but i wear multicolored underwear because they have no power over my underwear!!!!
I would never handle that. I am a free human and I wear whatever I want. Period.
So if your job decided to require uniforms I guess you'd quit?
why was my comment deleted?
kaeldare Well, yeah.. if it wasn't a job where we are representing a company (and for that reason wear a uniform), I would quit.
Yeah free to wear whatever the media and corporations tell you is in fashion anyway.
I still hate blue and yellow together. Especially on a tie. Scarred for life.
Lynne Hand How to offend swedes :P
Luckily I live in the land of red, black and yellow atm.
Lynne Hand me too. It will make your school look like some game show thing if you wear too much of it. It's too fun.
I live in England and the uniforms are just stupid! I actually GET BULLIED because of uniforms! Once, a boy in my class got 10 days worth of detentions because he was wearings odd socks! (One black and one white) I’m moving to Canada in 7 months so the nightmare will be over but its not even effecting anything good! Plus, it makes everyone seem ugly like I look beautiful on a tank top but I look ugly in the uniform. I suggest watching videos on why uniforms are bad and show them to your head teacher!
Blue and yellow are on our ties as well and it is disgusting
If i go to Walmart after school i get freaking stared down! The people look at me like i am an alien with three eyes that just came down from jupiter in my spaceship. Thats a minus to them. you get bullied OUTSIDE of school too.
My thoughts on school uniform:
I hate it. Never had it, but would be a nightmare if I did. Here's why:
1. It is pressuring students into wearing something that is most of the time not even what they like to wear. It is robbing students of their individuality and creativity, which is a part of choosing your own clothing. They will feel uncomfortable, maybe because of the fabric material, the fact that it's not their preferred chlothing style, because they have a different body type and the uniform doesn't really match with the clothing they would feel more confident/comfortable in, or just the fact that some girls don't like to wear skirts.
2. The ridiculously strict rules on school uniform are just unnecessary. If a student just slightly breaks the dress code, they are punished. Your shirt is not tucked in? change it! The color of your socks is against the rules? take them off or go home! It is keeping student away from their education more than it is helping them to get to it. it is also not right from schools to determite by temperature when students are allowed to wear their jacket, or when girls are allowed to wear pants under their skirts or not. When I'm freezing I'm wearing my jacket no matter the temperature.
3.It is not helping students to not get bullied and to concentrate. Bullies are (most of the time) not targeting students just based on their clothing, so uniforms won't change that. And if you're forced to wear something that you do not concider comfortable, it is most likely that you can't concentrate.
4. If it is concidered necessary to have a uniform, the school should pay for it/provide it. Or at least make it optional for students who don't have the money for it.
Here are my thoughts on the school system in general (and why it's bad):
1. If you have a different type of learning, that suits you more, school is still forcing you to learn with their preferred methods.
2. School is forcing you into a routine and you have to wake up at 6am, which is way too early for the brain to function (school starts at 8am, but the human brain starts functioning at 10am).
3. They are scheduling your daily routine with subjects, although you should be able to organize your subjects (and when you have them) yourself. If they are talking about languages in the first 50 minutes, and math the next 50 minutes, how am I supposed to concentrate on the information and how am I able to let it sink in so I can remember it?
4. School is also keeping unnecessary subjects like sports. Sports is important, but it has nothing to do with my education and I should be able to choose if I want to do sports or not.
5. On the other hand, they are not teaching us imortant things that we will need in life. Like how to do my taxes. Instead they are wasting our time with stuff we don't need.
6. School is not about learning, it's all about how good you are at remembering stuff and your score written on a pice of paper. It should be about learning, but it's not. If you like to learn new things, but are bad at remembering stuff that's not important and doesn't interest you, according to school, that means you're stupid. Even if you're good in a subject, if you're bad at the test, according to school, that automaticly means your bad at the subject.
7. After a long day of school (up to 9 hours! which is btw too long, so I can't really concentrate on the things I'm learning later in the day, because there are barely any breaks) they still give you 1-2 hours of homework daily. As a perfectionist it is hard to keep up because it's simply too much. My longest school day (tuesday) ends at 5pm, the bus drives off at 6pm, I come home at 7pm, and finishing my meal and setting everything up for homework takes me up to 8pm. I need 10 hours of sleep to fell well rested, so I would have to go to sleep right after I finished dinner. No free time. No time for homework. But apperently teachers think a students day is 30 hours long, since they expect us to do homework after such a long day, and still think we have free time and enough sleep. No wonder students are so tired in the morning. If you fail to teach me everything I need to know about this topic in class, don't leave the stuff you weren't able to teach in time up to me as homework. In my opinoin, school and private life should not interfere, therefore, homework should not exist.
8. they are pressuring students and are prioritizing their grades over their mental health.
TLDR: School is unhealthy because it's pressuring students, forcing them into a daily routine that starts too early and are not caring about the student, only about their grade.
Edit: spelling is bad sry
Can I add that school uniforms are sensory issues for students who have autism and adhd. We’re very sensitive to certain fabrics, and making us wear a skirt when it’s freezing cold? Schools need to be more flexible with the autism community, regardless of what country you’re from. It’s sexist and affects people’s mental healt.
well said I agree with everything, apart from school uniforms ever being needed. they never are
School doesn't have to be formal and boring. Children and teenagers most have the freedom to express themselves with their clothes. You can't force to children to be in a certain way to learn. Uniforms ad unnecessary pressure to children, if you were in high school and had to use an uniform you should know...
Atleast there would be no bullying for the not so rich kids. School is a place to LEARN, not to have a fashion show
I don't think so. I understand your thing about freedom of expression. But discipline is also a very necessary aspect. U can't dress however you want . So say I want to go to school in my underwear (my freedom of clothes ) would that be acceptable ? Decorum and discipline is important. Kids can channel their creativity in lot of other ways. Or to have a mid way Friday can be no uniform day to channel their creativity in dressing whatever that is .
@@Mimi-le7ow then children will start to bully for body features.
@@keriddunk1520 I'm not sure underwear is legal in the streets.
@@keriddunk1520 + there can be certain rules such as no privates showing and having to wear a shirt of some sort
I had to wear a school uniform from grade 1 to grade 8. I stopped needing to because I started home schooling. I can honestly say I hated it so much, they were unflattering and made me feel extremely self conscious. They were also very expensive for clothes that most of the time would only last you one year before you grew out of them or they wore out. I got bullied for how the uniform looked on me too, which is funny because that's one of the reasons they decided to implement it in the first place. I'm much happier now that I don't have to put uncomfortable clothes on for 8+ hours a day.
Reasons for Uniforms and why they don't make sense to me.
Jealousy:
So wearing a uniform is because other kids don't want other to look good. They want everyone to look bad because they look bad. Is it because maybe the less rich kid is suffering jealousy. well let me tell you, wearing a uniform doesn't not make me jealous of other girls. They are just as beautiful with or without it.
Modesty:
Wearing a uniform is to be modest? If you are forced to wear a skirt everyday (being a girl) it seems to me that THAT would be a lot more immodest. wearing a skirt lets people see up your legs if you sit down. chair or no chair. Also some schools make the girls wear very immodest skirts that are very short. what is the point of that?
Bullying:
Bullying is going to happen whether people where uniforms or not. you can't stop all of it. But maybe just maybe you could try to stop bullying another way..? It would be hard to catch bullying but i wear uniforms and people get bullied left and right. It doesn't make a difference.
Right now I can't think of any other reasons but I think uniforms are dumb. and i hate them. this wuz a rant, sorry for typos or spelling error.
kaitlynmoses so true
you’re not wrong tho
So wrong. Especially with the skirts. Girls who are modest wouldn’t sit down in a way for others to see up their skirt. Not only that but most girls wear biker shorts underneath
I live in England and at my school we are constantly told to "express our individuality" but it's a bit hard to do that if we are all wearing the same 100% polyester sweaters. I feel SO much more comfortable in my own clothes because they are less rigid and constricting and as someone who is quite self conscious I often find my self worrying about how I look or even smell. 9/10 times it's nothing but it can sometimes be quite distracting in class.
Oli, I live in America. At my school, everyone is constantly worrying about their looks as well. The thing is, I am pushing for uniforms. 9 times out of 10, people at my school are picked on for what they wear. My theory is that is takes away the classroom fashion shows and puts everyone on a level playing field, because a poor kid looks the same as a rich kid in a school uniform. I also think that you shouldn't need clothes to express individuality. I think it can be done very easily through your actual personality.
Margarita Macaluso As another Brit, I absolutely hate my uniform. They are uncomfortable as all hell and you either die of heatstroke or freeze to death. Especially when your school has no form of heating or air conditioning like mine.
:L My school is relatively comfortable all the time, however, maybe its different in Britain. In America, atleast, its verryyyy materialistic.
Lucky
Ikr all of my clothes are really comfortable and cheap. But school uniform expensive as fuck uncomfortable as fuck.
Uniforms are a way of a school saying, "you're my bitch."
Who else have that tuck in your shirt rule in there school?😩
Yeah I had that at my school drove me mad don't see how it matters tucked mine in early in year 7 but realised no one did so stopped tucking mine but teachers gave you bolockings for it my first big telling off at secondary school was for not having my shirt tucked in it was an assembly and the teacher in question made a point out of me
When I wore my jumper I would hide it by tucking it underneath and teachers would think your uniform was smart
That's stupid
me and i get in trouble for forgetting to tuck it in >:(
DoPe eLo I use to say that as an excuse all the time 😂
I wish I had to wear school uniforms. It took and extra 20 minutes every morning to find my perfect ensemble. I think school uniforms help the learning environment, but not learning itself. Once people get professional jobs, uniforms are mandatory: doctors, nurses, and office space employees. The only color options would be the neck tie, different colored suit or shirt. School uniforms will get students in the habit of a professional job someday.
Simba such as I'm going to be a vet
Lol u cant get bullied about your outfit because u have the same clothes as them (Only when you have a uniform on)
Then pick your outfit the night before school??
Why do you have to think what to wear. Can’t you just take out anything out of the closet?
You're such a nerd
At my school we wear school uniforms and the school has a huge thing about being yourself and standing out and all that crap yet we all wear the same overpriced uncomfortable pieces of crap everyday. I even said that to the teachers and they always respond with something like "Your parents sent to this school so deal with it" or "If you don't like it go to a different school" yet no school in a 50 mile radius didn't have uniforms.
I'm from England and I can confirm, teachers spend way too much time correcting uniform rather than actually teaching.
I went to four high schools (because of moving, not bad behaviour), two of which required uniform.
What I saw:
1. My first school was a charter school that hated the idea of a uniform and even promoted the freedom of self-expression and individuality. It had more of a focus on the STEM subjects and had high mark requirements. I saw hardly any bullying and crime/drug abuse seemed to be kept to a minimum, but I saw more depression/mental illness and self-harm. Everyone was very focused on school and many kept pretty good grades (at least my friends). Many were taking AP and (since we took some classes at a public school next to us that weren't offered at our school) had higher marks than their public school counterparts. BUT, there was no uniform to affect that.
2. My second school, which was a regular school but had the IB program, required no uniform. I was in the academic/university stream (which, in my opinion, makes a difference) and saw more concern about appearance, poor attendance, more drug use, and less ability to focus in school.
3. My third school was a Catholic school in a somewhat poor area which required uniform. I saw pretty good attendance (in my classes) but a lot of other people skipping. I didn't see drug use, but my friends commented about it. People around me were generally more able to concentrate.
4. My fourth school was also a Catholic school but in a more well off area, this one also required uniform. I saw a lot of skipping, a lot of drug use (and I mean a lot, some people were coming in high!), there was only violence caused by certain groups of people that I saw, I didn't see much bullying but I heard it happen, there was sexual harassment, and even though some of these people liked to party, they managed to keep their grades high.
I don't know if my data adds to anything, but I can say that my grades went down when I went into a uniform school, but I doubt that had anything to do with the uniform because there were external situations that affected my ability to focus. I found a lot of the students were happy to have a uniform because it meant they didn't have to choose what to wear, but I saw a lot of alterations done to the uniform (a lot of girls wore their skirts so short that they were banned in one school). I know that teachers complained that our uniforms (consisting of golf t-shirts with the school logo, slacks and/or plaid skirts at both uniform schools) were not as proper and high-end as they should be, and that the laxity of the uniform caused the students to lose respect for it and the teachers.
wow, was it different countries too ? or just schools? did you find making friends easy?
I've experienced school with both uniforms and without, and I found the best experience was when the uniform existed but was loosely enforced. As in, there were a large variety of uniform pieces to choose from-- pants and shorts for everyone, skirts for girls, and about twenty different types of shirts-- and we were allowed untucked undershirts of whatever colour we pleased, patterned (or not) leggings under our skirts or shorts, accessories of pretty much any sort, ect. Even better was when students were just asked to put their uniform back on when they were out of it rather than getting detentions for it. We were able to dress comfortably and express ourselves just fine while still getting the benefits of uniforms (unity and crap).
My high school was pretty lax on uniforms (for Australia anyway) we had to wear either the school polo shirt or blouse with the school jumper, jacket or a black cardigan in winter. We had to wear black pants or a skirt.
In Australia uniforms are mandatory for public and private schools. I loved my formal, highschool uniform. I was proud to wear it.
They are mandatory in India too. And i like my uniform.
Same thing here in puerto rico
1- They aren't mandatory look at WA
and
2- Fucking uniforms are GREAT! I might just be weird but I love wearing "formal clothes" XD
I actually like my school uniform. Don't have to go through the stress of picking something nice to wear every morning.
I like most of my uniform, except for having to wear long socks and an outdated hat "to and from school"
I personally found my uniforms to do nothing for my school. There was a lot of bullying, and the educators did nothing about it or the rampant behavioural problems. When they did, they would punish the entire grade, like my brother's senior class, even though he was gone at a band performance on the day of the senior prank, or the entire class, like my 10th grade world history. It came off incredibly lazy and some students didn't need to follow dress code while others did. It showed more favouritism and reluctance to actively make sure the campus was a safe, conducive learning environment. The there were the Nazis. One pulled the collar of my shirt and looked down for the tag while I was doing work, then told me I couldn't wear the shirt I had on because it wasn't the BRAND the school recommended. And I was large at the time, so I had to wear adult clothes.
I feel it takes our individuality away.
+Paperjam It also creat new bad stereotypes(dress code student= good student/obedient
Anti dress code student= bad student/dunce:bully)
You have to afford a uniform in order to afford others gratitude.
my memories of horror when I was in school with uniform, I felt like I was in jail
+TheBookWorm1718 So soldiers, firefighters, nurses are prisoners too?? Oh well.
***** Well by that logic children shouldn't be forced to go too school too, they should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want even if the society collapses. Too much of anything is no good. Too much of feminism has already ruined the west. Kids should be controlled as they lack wisdom otherwise they end up turning into assholes and criminals.
You are forced to do school, And you're fprced tp wear sjot.
I love school uniforms. I don't know why but they just look so socially cute, like in anime!
bloody weeabo.
Koshunae How is this person a weeaboo? This person ONLY said that it's cute like in anime. This person didn't say "OMGOMGOMG IT'S LIEK ANIME OMGOMGOMG SUPER-KAWAII DESU!!!!~♥" It's like you're saying that I'm a Muslim extremist if I say that the Qur'an is a holy form of literature. :3
Koshunae Says the person who seems to not have a life according to his Youtbe account. And at least I don't upload my gameplay in an over-fictionalized game about war and consider that as an upload worthy~♥
:3
Migikun
How ironic.
Trust me they're nothing like the ones in anime. unless you find bottle green blazers with bottle green trousers and a tight green v neck jumper "cute" I'd stay away.
I wore school uniforms for most of my time in school. I always hated them. Saw them as nothing but ways to control. The American pubic school system has proven it's not about teaching useful information, it's about getting kids to pass standardized tests and become part of the middle class work force. What better way to indoctrinate that sort of thinking than uniforms? Uniforms waste teachers' time in writing up infractions in every class every day. They go against individual thinking and creativity. They cost more money than normal clothes. And they're also incredibly boring. I'm really glad I'm not in school anymore.
Well I actually loved using my uniform because I didn't have to think about what to wear. I think even teachers (I'm a practice teacher) should have uniforms. It just makes life easier and it also gets people to dress more appropriately. I've seen teachers with really short skirts or showing cleavage. I think it makes everyone look more professional. I loved it.
Guess we're just going to have to disagree. I think making life "easier" and subduing a natural part in exploring your identity and style as a young person isn't worth the trade-off. Plus kids in school are already told what to learn and exactly how they have to learn it, that they have to be in school and for so many years for so many hours a day. Their meals are made for them as well. Can we really not let them simply pick a shirt to wear?
I don't think it takes away your style or identity. Even with uniforms in school we would wear jewelry or other fashion pieces and it had our personal style. I don't think uniforms take away anything. But I guess everyone has different opinions.
And bullying will always exist be there uniforms or not and that is sad.

If you like uniforma, just buy multiple copies of the same outfit and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
yep, had to wear a school uniform from primary to secondary school. It was compulsory, no choice about it. One thing that's expensive is the school kit for PE, the tie & patch with the embolism on it (ouch! not cheap). If you lost your tie, well I'd have to pay for a new one.
The best part is that you can keep the tie as a memento.
Plus there was the matter of the school pas for the buses.
Dress Code:
-White shirts
- Blazer (naive blue/black)
- Trousers/Skirts (naive blue/black later on the higher school years)
-Shoes (black)
-Bags (black/navie blue)
Socks (black/navie blue)
+ the patch on the blazer/tie with school colours.
The second part is secondary school.
Primary: trousers/skit, shirt + option of a dress for girls.

I live in England, I absolutely hate them. I'm not speaking blindly, my primary school had optional school uniform. I was ultimately a lot happier because uniforms actually cause me more stress in regards of I'm not worrying if I've got my tie, if my shirt's washed etc. Plus if my school jumper's not washed in time I'm not allowed to wear a jacket. How does me being cold help my learning or prevent bullying?
Another main reason I would like to point out is that all the teachers in my school highlight that the reason for school uniform is that it prevents bullying. It may be true that it would be easier for bullies to find people with not as nice clothes, but the number of people they bully probably won't change, it will just be different people and they will find people's insecurities to pick on in different ways.
All they are doing is victim blaming instead of grasping the actual problem: if bullying is going on because of racism what are they going to do? Die our skin? Why don't they make us all wear fucking wigs, they're taking away our freedom to express ourselves so much. Would you rather every human being looked exactly the same? Should we all have the same personality? For me uniform reflects society's views; that if you're different, you're an outcast.
There was a case in America where a young boy (about 9yrs) was getting bullied, he decided to take his my little pony bag to school and got bullied further because of it, the school board decided then that he shouldn't bring the bag to school -and banned him from doing so. Of course he was still bullied, they just found a different insecurity.
Another bullshit reason they come up with is that 'it takes too long for pupils to choose their clothes because of society's pressure.' You're never going to get rid of those values by hiding them. If you take down uniform people will be forced to choose their own clothes, this will lead to them being more comfortable in choosing their own clothes. Making them reduce their status of caring what clothe they put on themselves because everyone is more relaxed, ultimately leading to society's pressure lowering altogether.
In conclusion: FUCK SCHOOL UNIFORM. I CAN'T FUCKING STAND IT. IT'S COLD AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M WEARING SOMEONE ELSES CLOTHES, AND I CAN'T STAND HIDING FROM MY PROBLEMS.
You are allowed to wear a jacket -.- just not bright colours just dark colours
well said, man.
Well said. Well said.
Gavin The Spleen sounds like your problem stemmed from something else. You got all worked up about a uniform. A lot of jobs require you to wear the company uniforms, Fed ex, UPS, nurses, doctors, lawyers, quit a few. Your just someone that doesn't like to be told what to do, welcome to the real world and good luck on finding a job.
Ben Schaum lol look what we have here. A CZcams Psychiatrist that thinks he knows way more than he really does 😂. Stay in your lane, Doc. Your comparison is pure BS. It absolutely screams your bias by only presenting "positive" examples when someone could've just as easily stated that prisons enforce uniforms too, and that's not exactly the type of lifestyle you wanna impose on children or anyone for that matter. Plus, you oversimplify the use/purpose of uniforms in the workforce to try and relate it to school when it's very different. It's not about having a rebellious attitude (can't believe you came to such a straw man conclusion). It's about not wanting to be forced into *unnecessary* discomfort when there are little to no benefits. Imagine if I told you that you'd have to wear tight ass skinny jeans that don't let you breath, or I required you to sag or wear a crop-top or some other unpleasant style that goes against who you are. Hell, what if I dressed you head to toe like you're a woman in Saudi Arabia. Are you gonna be pissed that you're having to do these things when there's no benefits, or are you just gonna bend over and take it bc you're too much of a conformist to voice your grievances? There's nothing wrong with enforcing dress codes to promote good behavior and encourage students to be self-respecting, but controlling the specific outfit that someone can wear in a learning (not working) environment is outrageous. And someone forced into that type of system has every reason to express their resentment.
I wish people have school uniforms like anime does.
*suspicious look* are you a pervy old man with a fetish for school girls?
Decietful Cake Yes, I like them young and innocent. huhueuheuheuh
Krishna Patel cool
Nipah EveryDay
I guess that’s why I have quite some discontent towards MOST anime fans. They either have low standards or that they are perverts.
I had to wear a plain white shirt with very uncomfortable black trousers to school, and it was horrible. They didn't even let us put our jackets on when it was cold just because we all had to look the same.
Oh that sucks
Zahra Aljamrii I can get whatever I want cause our head teacher has made something called everybody dress up on school days
I wish all schools didn't have school uniforms
haha. My best friend went to a school where they are required to wear hideous olive green polo shirts with plaid olive green, mustard yellow, and burgundy skirts. But then, I had to go to fine arts camp which required nothing but blue, and I was already sick with that color before I arrived...
There is at one good thing about uniforms, though. (Besides not having to go shopping); there wouldn't be hippo-sized girls walking around in yoga wants and shirts that dipped down past their bras.
Looking back now, I wish that we would have had uniforms because of one thing. Girls in skirts.
Yes, I am wearing a school uniform right now, but here in Israel, a school uniform is any shirt with the school logo on the top left.
When I was younger I didn't have many clothes, so wearing a uniform gave me confidence in school because I didn't have to worry about what to wear or if the other kids would make fun of me for wearing the same clothes everyday while they had clothes to change.
In our school the uniform sucks. We get a detention for wearing the wrong colour socks too much.
O britain
Jess Dyra haha i dint need uniform
and used to get in trouble for not tucking in my shirt
In the Bahamas, every school (YES EVERY SCHOOL) makes students wear uniform and the administrators of the schools care more of how we look in them than what we learn. -_-
I'm russian, I feel extrimly insecure in school uniform. It reminds me of times when I was bullied and humiliated
SkatozTheGamer good for you
peaunts :3
peanuts :3
i went to a uniform school before and THEY FORCES ME IN A FREAKING DRESS!!!!!!!!!
iSpaceLightning I'm so sorry D:
+iSpaceLightning Same, but im in the middle east, and from grades 1-2 they can wear their house shirt and pants, shorts or a skirt, grades 3-12 have to wear a freaking dress for girls, and if i can go on, the dress code literally is a page and a half of A4
Oh I fucking remember when my school decided on the uniform thing, and they put it into place 1 week before summer break was over, so parents after buying kids their clothes, had to go BACK out and spend MORE money for new uniformal clothes, and they're still doing it after 9 years. Why do the uniforms help ease violence? Because they end up expelling the kids who have a t-shirt untucked, saying uniforms help us for our "adult" jobs. How many fucking basic jobs require a damn suit and tie? Don't see that at a McDonalds or bowling alley.
I used to wear uniforms throughout my middleschool and highschool in Korea. They were very expensive mind you, costing as much as a suit. A set of my highschool uniforms cost me like $600. Washing them is also a bitch because they require dry cleaning so in middleschool I'd see kids with ketchup on their jackets for a few days until the weekend because it was required you wear them (otherwise punished). Also, kids would retailor their uniforms, making skirts shorter, shirts tighter, etc.
what the fuck is wrong with your school
Granted, my hs was private school.
I went to Hyndland the last school in Glasgow with uniform and right up until I went to highschool we still wore uniform in primary. Both played out the exact same except I felt more comfortable going to school in a hoodie jeans and trainers.
Without uniform*^^
Oh, a fellow Hyndland...ese? Hyndlander? Lol.
theMoporter Glasweign get yo facts right XD
I was wearing uniforms until I got in college, I miss those times because I didn't bother in every morning picking what to wear ...etc
Why do you have to think about what to wear
OMG shut up nerd
My school wanted me to wear school uniform... now im home, playing games >.>
I personally loved uniforms. I had to wear them in elementary. It made things easy in the morning, you always had formal wear, there were less girls wearing stupid clothing and it is an AMAZING conversation starter.
I've lived in Florida most of my life, and all schools there uniform, I was nervous of using no uniform and using street clothes in my new school at New Mexico, my first day was today, it just felt better without uniform, people were less aggressive and stuck up, it might be the wardrobe change or the state, idc which, but I'm liking both xD
I go to one of the most prestegious schools in my country, but the comical part is that my uniform is some baggy pants and a thick T-shirt!
I'm personally glad that I never had to wear a school uniform, because I personally have comfort problems with wearing formal dress in general. For example, when I had to apply for a job wearing a buttoned shirt, it was so uncomfortable that I had to wear a t-shirt underneath it.
So if I had to design a school uniform, then I'd settle with just a vest that could be worn over a t-shirt of your choice.
get over it dude its clothing
Quentin Ma
And I suppose that I should get over wearing a fuzzy sweater that causes irritation for my sensitive skin?
ShadowWolfTJC Just dont wear it then
where i live is not an option, so i feel comfortable with uniforms, i guess is just a matter of how often you have to use that type os clothing.
i completely agree i have issues with my weight well people say i dont but i think i do thats why i always where a black and wight striped hoodie, yes always. even on those 95 degree days... damn you mcdonalds damn you to hell
i would hate it if i didn't have to wear a school uniform. choosing what to wear everyday just requires too much effort and it's not like you can wear the same outfit twice in one week
*****
I do it all the time.
when you're out of school you'll have to do that
Ikr
The videos are helping me a lot. Thanks!
lol, back to school time in august. The northwest laughs at you. School doesn't go back in til mid sept here
lmao
Really don't think it would change anything if you wore a uniform or not. But uniforms do make it easier for poorer students who can not afford as many clothes and the inevitable bullying and teasing that will come from it and it promotes school unity and pride which is a big deal in my country
LOL, Here in Dominican Republic ALL schools use uniforms, i actually like using uniforms, they make mornings easier and they make you look more proffesional and gives off a more school teen look.
I'm wearing a uniform right now and I dont like them because as was said, the teachers spend so much time arguing with us about our uniforms. I also feel it limits creativity, because we literally all have to look identical clothing wise or biggg trouble. I live in england by the way, and I will tell this info to the student council and see if anything gets done.
re teachers and school uniform discussion. there simply fckng the dog for 30 mins on un ionised pay,.
I reckon school uniforms probably contribute to a priming effect, which can allow people to settle into the right frame of mind quicker. But uncomfortable uniforms and unreasonably strict rules are counterproductive. And forcing students to buy a new tie if they forget one, is just going to piss me.. I mean, them... off.
None of the other studies found the same results. That's when the scientific procedure calls it a bluff. :)
I remember having a uniform at one of my schools. It was so ugly I lost every bit of self-esteem I'd ever had before that day. Bullying wasn't affected either, but my low self-esteem made it feel ten times worse. Hated that school.
you worry that much about how you look... all i care about is competence.
Shut the fuck up. If people called you a fat, ugly, FREAK every single day of your life from the time you were 8, you'd have some huge fucking issues too. Fuck your "competence", self esteem issues are what lead to self-harm and suicide.
SnarkySoren Fox
Completely agree. Self esteem in kids is far more important that competence
brostepisthebest better self esteem = better confidence = more competence, at least in my own personal expereince.
Are you sure this wasn't due to the age you were?
"less bullying" my ass bullying happens no matter what! :D
i know right?!
I actually believe that cheap, sturdy uniforms are actually pretty healthy for students. The first time anybody i my family wore a tie was for my uniform. It was just a grey shirt with black pants and matching black tie.
But from our poor neighborhood, it was helpful in masking our identities as a kid of poor parents.
Never had to worry about what to wear. It was very cheap and we didn't need to have the latest shoes or bags to attract attention.
It was boring, but it helped me worry less about other things in my life
I went to a school with uniforms and it was pretty bad there.
Wearing a uniform made me feel like shit, as it did with my friends.
I'm sorry if I just don't agree with pushing uniforms on students. :/
Why did it make you feel that way?
I think uniforms are horrible because they are to warm in the summer then to cold in the winter and they are not comfortable
What type of shirt, pants, shoes and sweater/hoodie do school uniforms use? I go to city college but you can wear anything, I just wanna dress for success. Should implement the school colours also? My school colours are Red and White
Uniforms are a blessing. It removes the hassle of picking out your clothes in the morning and worrying about if people will judge you if you wore a shirt twice!
Uniforms make your life a lot easier. They save you a lot of time in the morning as you know exactly what you are wearing and you don't have to bother about matching your shoes to your top (etc XD)
The only thing a school uniform does is make you a robot
I feel like uniforms can be useful in a sense that you don't have to pick out your own clothes and it would dramatically decrease the money spent on clothing, but If I had to impose a uniform rule of some sort I'd say like Mondays ( one day of the week) and home game days where a uniform or if there is an important school event because they create cohesion and do look nice but it shouldn't be to strict.
school uniforms are terrible. look bad and feel bad. i would feel better doing a 5 hour advanced math exam. in a ceramic lined 40 kg sapi vest. combat boots and helmet with a 30 kg backpack than wear them.
I would like military equipment instead school uniform

in australia (at least in vic) uniforms are mandatory and don't really do shit starting from high school you have to wear school schools instead of runners the most they do is prevent bullying in the sense of clothing choice however it's not a pain to wear (at least for me) and my only complaint is the school shoes otherwise they aren't that bad they help to show of the achievement that is getting into a difficult school (that situation doesn't apply to but i do know people who have gotten scholarships) and having worn one in every school system i have been in (currently in year 9) no one really cares that they have to wear a uniform.
narsplace well at least we know what you watch. -good choice-
LOL
When you have a school uniform you hate the idea of it but when you don't have school uniform you want it.
That's not true
At the time, I hated wearing school uniform (I went to a school in the UK). Mine wasn't that bad, colour-wise. It was dark blue jumper and skirt/ trousers and a light blue shirt. It was annoying when teachers would be telling you off because your shirt was hanging out. I hated wearing tights! So I was happy when they allowed girls to wear trousers too.
The biggest plus, was not having to worry about what to wear to school. When I went to college at 16 and could wear whatever I wanted, while it was nice to have the freedom to express yourself, it was still a hassle to find what to wear every day. And cliques were immediately formed in college, based off what we were wearing.
Also, socially I think it was better. We didn't have cliques in school, we were all pretty much friendly with each other. Although after a while, kids with similar tastes in music would hang around together, that's the main thing that divided us. But that happened after getting to know the other person, because we couldn't tell who was a metalhead, indie fan etc because we all looked the same. So we got to be friends with all different types of people.
There was also no class/ wealth divide either, which I think was a really good thing.
We didn't have 'jocks', sports was't a big deal in the school and kids who were good at sports weren't held in high regard. Boys would play football/ soccer at break time, but that was about it.
At the time I did hate wearing school uniform and envied American kids. But now looking back, I think it was a good thing.
I used to wear a school uniform and getting dressed in the morning took me all but 2 minutes. Once I went to college dressing started to take me 30 minutes + so it's definitively a huge bonus for school uniforms, especially since they allow you to sleep longer which teens need. Then there's the whole school solidarity coming to play - if you see a kid being picked on that wear your schools' uniform you are more likely to do something about it.
But they are expensive(I think ~150 euro), kids grow out of them fast and some are uncomfortable (in one school I had to wear a skirt - it was a pure nightmare!).
School uniforms take some much pressure of girls and how we look, seriously if I didn't have my school uniform I would be screwed. I'd end up going to school in my pyjamas! When we have non-uniform days no-one concentrates! We're all too busy checking out what others are wearing, with our uniform we all look the same and don't care what others are wearing. Although my schools uniform is ugly. And the teachers always moan how our shirts aren't tucked in or how we've got skinny trousers on! Some schools are even stricter, we wear jumpers but other schools wear blazers where in the winter you CAN NOT wear a jacket over the top of the Blazer, you must wear it under. And some schools even have to wear skirts all through winter. But in the morning I can spend more time relaxing before school because I don't have to worry about what I wear
And all head teachers say how we look smart with out uniform, I agree when they say that! People know where we're from and it just makes us look good! In normal clothes were just a big jumble and some people will wear disgusting clothes and some will wear really nice clothes
+Hannah Spurgeon yeah my school is pretty strict you have to wear a blazer all year round and you have to ask permission to take it off, skirts have to be knee high which I don't mind they can't be stretchy. Trousers are allowed, ties have to be worn with top botton done up. No make up allowed at all. What about you I live in England
+Hannah Spurgeon I agree we do look smart
We have to have permission to take our jumpers off unless it's very hot, top buttons must be done up when wearing a tie (winter uniform and in summer we have a polo shirt) make up can be one but not loads, a minimum of 3 pieces of jewellery, skirts must be knee length, proper school skirts and trousers must be boot cut and not skinny
+Sophie Francis (Merlin2001) Replied but didn't tag you.. xXX
I liked wearing them incorrectly. It was my very small scale teenage rebellion against bugger all. A good lesson for children to learn what really matters; your teacher notices more your untucked shirt than the Year seven boy (11-12 year old) shoved into the rubbish bin...
Uniforms are made to represent the school,company.Its main purpose is to help us be more organize and feel more responsible for our clothes. That's the only thing I learned from wearing it
omg someone please ban school uniforms! i only get to wear my own clothes at the weekend and holidays! the only freedom we get is the colour of our socks, how can we express ourselves creatively when we have to wear uniform! some people say that we would get lost on school trips if we didnt wear uniform, but we could just wear a badge or a special keyring
+Kitty Kraftin we dont get freedom on te color of our socks :X
All schools both primary and high shools have uniforms in Australia, in my case it was a good thing as i didn't have to think about what i was going to wear in the morning, i was also a second hand clothing no fashion knowing teen girl so a uniform was great, until a casual clothing day came up, about once in awhile in exchange for a dollar students could wear what they wanted, those where the days i was bullied the most.
My dress sense had vastly improved in the last 19 yrs since age 15 but i remember the feeling of not being able to fit, not every child has wealthy or middle class parents so they can't afford to wear what all the other kids are wearing, this puts a huge strain emotionally and mentally on all teens, so uniforms are best all round.
There are plenty of schools in Australia with uniforms? I personally have been to several schools both with, and without uniforms, private and public.
Private schools will almost always have a uniform - I haven't come across any that don't, but that's not to say there aren't - and public schools can have uniforms though they can vary greatly in how strict they are, as well as having no uniform at all and just a dress code eg. enclosed shoes, singlet shoulders have to be a certain width(3 or 4 fingers, 5-7cm) or maybe that you have to have sleeves etc.
Also as for costs in clothing - I know of more people who have struggled or still do with costs BECAUSE of having to buy uniforms ontop of the clothes they might already need, and tuition fees just to even go to the school(though some colleges and even a few highschools operate only on DONATED fees - you don't actually have to pay it (sometimes there is a small 'base' amount though) though they do request it, and you can also choose how much of it you want to pay if you'd like to - it does fund the school after all - but cannot pay the full amount).
Even schools often suffer for uniforms, because they have to have them made by a supplier which can be expensive. Because of this they obviously need to make at LEAST what they spent doing this otherwise they're going backwards with their funding's. So, they're often going to be quite expensive for the families buying them (and just because it might be a public school, it doesn't mean it isn't as proportionally as expensive as for those attending private schools OR that it's cheaper for those at private schools than at public schools. You might only be able to afford going to a public school and still scrape buy, or maybe you're quite comfortable - the same goes for those at private schools, there are lots of different situations) Because of this, people usually want access to being able to buy them secondhand. The schools can often lose money this way because they still have to have new clothing made for those who want it, and in a lot of cases the smaller the order, the more expensive it is for them and in a few schools, have had to then shut down these secondhand clothing pools. This can sometimes be because of the manufacturer not producing anything under a certain amount, or having to up prices due to costs that can accumulate from basically losing the business they would otherwise get if families were forced to buy new ones at a more expensive cost -
and it's a bloody waste in my opinion too, when you can just recycle/handmedown all this clothing.
I can only comment on my own experience.
Based on your own experience though you made a blanket statement for an entire country though - and one as large as Australia, which is it's own continent, too. I was just aiming to correct that and add to it, based on mine as to why I mostly disagreed with your own statement - which is because of how wide an area I've been schooled in, and how many people I've known with the opposite problem. No one cares if your clothes are secondhand these days - the majority of my wardrobe has almost always been from salvos, vinnies and other charity stores as well as handmedowns, and a lot of people do that by choice. People have mostly gotten over the silly way of thinking that just because you didn't rip the tag off it, doesn't mean it's any good(and often at charity stores you'll find clothes with them still on attached to it). More highschoolers go salvos shopping together than ever and it's a common afternoon activity to just have a look around, both girls and guys (you don't even have to be able to buy anything and no one will blink twice if you say you still can't afford it.) I've seen a few cases where friends have then been like "right. I'm gettting you it then. You look fucking amazing in this shirt and it's so good it'd be a crime for someone else to have it." (that's an actual quote btw that happened about three days ago and they bought this shirt instead of anything for themself. No one who isn't stupid wants to pay fifty bucks for a shirt that will lose it's shape and colour in a few weeks when they can get something that wont and suits better for about eight bucks instead. Secondhand might as well be in fashion, for the last couple of decades :) Which is great. Recycling is great and clothes is one really big place it can be done easily :)
I always think of the uniforms from anime and movies too. Our uniforms aren't as cool as that.
I wouldn't hate uniforms if it was like anime
id hate uniforms even if it was anime
The skirts are way too short for me lol
Loved it, we wore polo shirts and khakis. I didn't have to think about what I was going to wear and we wore the same thing as everyone else.
In elementary school we had to wear uniforms, and I actually thought they were pretty comfortable. They had a pretty good variety in what you could wear. However, I do think kids should be allowed to express themselves through what they wear (to a certain degree, of course. There are reasons why schools have dress codes.) No one ever got picked on for what they wore because everyone was wearing the same kinds of clothes, and you didn't have to worry much about picking out an outfit in the morning. Although, when it got into winter, it was kind of a pain wearing a skirt because your legs would freeze. (And long socks didn't help that much)
There are two sides to a uniform.
The good side is that there's no difference between rich and poor kids as they all look the same so that kind of bullying should be nonexistent.
On the other side you are all the same, when you can't express yourself your self-esteem may suffer greatly!
Most schools in Australia have uniforms and I love them. I can't even imagine how much time would be wasted looking for something to wear every morning. With a uniform, you just have to throw it on and leave the house, it's super easy and quick.
We have school uniform and it was okay, all we had to wear is any type of black trousers/leggings and a polo shirt. But now they have changed the black trousers to grey, baggy, unfitted trousers with a blue shirt and black shoes. Just because apparently it was to reviling before... Do you think this is fair?
Personally I think one likely benefit of school uniforms is that they set up a sort of atmosphere for what you'll be doing while in school grounds. It breaks the casual vibe from outside, or from your home, and MAY help improve your focus. But different people react differently to different things, so it's far from a universally good measure.
Well, personally I just found uniforms easier. It made getting ready in the morning a quicker process. Especially, yes, during the middle-school years where what you wear was oh so important.
Here in Singapore, all schools have to wear school uniforms, save for a few private or "international schools". Personally, I hate it. There's no justifiable reason to say that it helps education. Rather, it limits our creativity and prevents individual expression. Furthermore, it enhances the militaristic air many of the schools have. It's appalling.
hey thailand takes it a step further, not only do ALL schools have uniforms but every boy also has to shave their head and every girl is not allowed to have their hair longer than their EARLOBES. now that's appalling.
Yikes. I think we both agree we drew the shorter straws.
Once in school two weeks before summer holiday I got told off because my hair was dyed too red and apparently the dye I used was permanent when it wasn't. A teacher told me to wash my hair and the amount of time it took her to tell me off I missed some of my English lesson. Apparently my education is more important but I lasted four periods with the hair colour before being told off and I worked to the exact same standards as I did before I dyed my hair. And we have to ask if we want to remove our blazers in class.
I wore school uniforms my entire school life. Only good thing about that was the fact that I didn't have to worry about what I had to wear everyday (good thing too, my clothing inventory was very small). However, when it got windy, it was super embarrassing. Even though I wore shorts under my skirt I didn't like the fact that my skirt just blew up and everyone could see said shorts. Plus ironing my uniform for every week was super exhausting and tedious. I'm glad I don't have to wear uniforms anymore. I can rock jeans and don't worry about anything being revealed!
I
I went to school in Ireland and I had to wear a uniform and I liked it, it took so much stress out of choosing what to wear and you couldn't be self conscious and your clothes, which I really think helped me focus on learning in school!
+Dearbhla Ryan I meant self conscious about your clothes
+Dearbhla Ryan Oh please.. my ass had more stress then you supposedly did. liar
it's true! besides it saves time in the morning!
+I USE ...I wore a uniform for 14 years of my life and this is just my opinion, I don't know why it makes you so annoyed.
Dearbhla Ryan because what I have had to go threw isn't enjoyable at all. It wasn't good, itwasn't helpful. It didn't take stress out of dressing it made it annoying. I couldn't just wear the clothes that actually look good no I had to wear the shitty dress code clothes that make me look even worse than I actually am. That aren't matching, don't have a single design on them, nothing,
Yeah, I had to wear them. I didn't care, as long as it was comfortable... Unfortunately, they don't tend to be... So, yeah, it distracted me.
When I was in a private school, the teachers did make us wear uniforms. It was always a navy blue or white polo and khakis(no skirts or shorts). Tuck in your shirt, always wear a belt, no open toed/ heeled shoes, ect. I didn't really mind them all that much since I had been wearing it for so long. I finally started to hate them at the start of my eighth grade year. Once I had gotten into high school, I had no style of clothes. It stunned me that people could actually wear sweatpants and skirts to school. No uniforms! I was free. But... I had no idea what to wear. It was drilled into my brain that I had to wear exactly what the teachers wanted and they really didn't care. I'm still unsure of what to wear today because I still think that I need to wear a uniform. It has changed my life pretty majorly. For schools thinking about changing to uniforms: don't.
In my school we had uniforms and I personally loved it. No pressure to choose an outfit in the morning plus it was very comfortable. The only thing I'd have a problem with would be if I had to wear skirts, but all students wore shorts and shirts and after a certain grade, pants and shirts. The only difference between boys and girls was the cut of the pants but a girl could wear "boy's pants" if she wanted something more comfortable. It was pretty cool.
+My Name Is Too Long Have you even read what I wrote? o.O please, read again...
Also, you don't have to be rude to prove your point, you just have to actually know what you're talking about.
Rare Pepe I see. Those uniforms sound really awful. That is the problem with uniforms, they should be designed to be comfortable, because it's an everyday clothing. Mine, for example was adequate to the clime in here. Not too hot, not too cold and that kind of stuff. And in here only schools have uniforms, it's good during day trips and all, also. Our universities don't have uniforns.
