Forum Miss Bimbo, fashion community / Uniform or no uniform? - UNIFORM OR NO UNIFORM

I prefer uniform...
Even if u don't really like color, it's same for everyone.

Otherwise there is bullies and racket.

Oh DAIM

I dont like uniforms
Most of them anyway

I don't always like uniforms, but I definately approve of guidelines I.E. Navy dress slacks, or skirts below the knee... white dress shirt.... navy blazer optional

I like it when they give the freedom of what style looks best on the person, but prohibits activities that would be a problem in school.  I don't like pleats, but a freind may look best in them.  Let the students have a little bit of responsibility with out giving all control to them

i hate the idea of uniforms. the sheer thought of wearing a skirt, or colours i don't like, or a specific type of shoe gives me the creeps.

they'd have more success by teaching fashion courses than simply prohibiting fashion choices. school is a micro-society, and it has the same rules as normal society. people are different and clothes won't level the differences, so why pretend to do it?

and about discrimination... why shelter kids from social differences? if they learn about it when young, they will get used to it and adapt. if they learn about them at 18, let's say, they will be utterly lost in the real world. and anyway, they can see the differences when they compare mobile phones, or watches, or when they talk about where they spent their vacation.

in my country private schools are rare, so i won't talk about those - if they're private, they sort of have the right to enforce their own rules. but i won't have a public institution control what i wear.

No uniform. We never had them in school and I'm so glad. I like being able to dress how I want.

I have a half way point - we have to come in in clothes we would 'wear to work'.

I had to wear a uniform my entire school career and hated it. Where I'm from a uniform was enforced to prevent the wearing of gang colors and gang violence. At least that was the theory, in reality the gangs just figured out ways around that. Another "pro-uniform" argument was that uniforms prevented arguing about "expensive" clothes, which is bull, because the rich kids still looked rich and us poor kids still looked poor despite the uniforms. The only good think that came from a school career in uniforms is that now, I always have a belt on, always!

yes i agree.....almost al uniforms are ugly but with out them you would have 2 spend sooo much more time getting ready!!!md ud always hav 2 hav the lattest fashion.......

I don't think uniforms has any influence on your capacity to learn so I don't really agree with them. However it is much easier in the mornings to just put on a uniform and when kids of a certain age are very judgmental when it comes to clothes so it does make it easier for them to just throw on a uniform. You can still express yourself when you wear a uniform only not through your looks but through your words and actions.

my school uniform was very simple, black or blue trousers with a white shirt
any kind of shoes as long as they were black (including the soles, we couldnt wear trainers though- although i did on a few occasions because they had black soles lol)
we also had to wear a school jumper but i didnt wear mine very often i just had it in my bag- i got out of wearing it because it was too restricting and i kept burning up with it on.

i prefer what i wear to work
i either have to wear black trousers and a matching blazer or a skirt and matching blazer with a white shirt.
i prefer wearing a blazer- they look so much smarter than a jumper
