big. In 2017 it was recorded that 23% of public and private schools had uniform. People really need to think about this question. It’s important to understand the history of where school uniforms came from, what good they can create in a school, and some of the negatives they can cause as well. History of school uniforms The history of school uniforms going public started not to long ago. “Public school’s had uniforms starting in the 1980’s, the practice did not become widespread until 1994” (Lewin)
Dress codes have been an integral part of life in public schools throughout history. Now they concern spaghetti straps and leggings, while in the 1940’s women were sent home for simply wearing pants. Dress codes have certainly become more lenient, but the question isn’t if they should be more restricted, but it’s whether the concept of a dress code in public schools violates student’s First Amendment rights to free speech. The answer to this highly debated question is yes, they most certainly do
families, but also, “Another cost factor… is the increased burden on administrators, staff, and faculty to enforce policies. (Source D)” With a stricter dress code, comes stricter enforcement, for there is no point to a dress code if it not enforced. Things such as “Loner” clothing would need to be purchased for those who do not fit the dress code but cannot change, and all sorts of things would need to be figured out, such as: what length of skirts/shorts will be the regulation, tools for measuring
The belief is that students who wear school uniforms perform slightly better academically in school than those that don’t. Students tend to focus more on their clothing that it interrupts them from learning. Some educators believe that a uniform policy could limit this distraction and help to improve student’s attention and scholastic future. They believe uniforms set a stage in an environment that is better suited for learning and can improve student performance. Some educators also believe that
I believe that we should not have school uniforms! It gives away freedom. The cost more money for our parents. And lastly, they we can't be who we want to be. My school wants to get a school uniform! I have three perfectly good reasons we should not. First of all, school uniforms take away any freedom to express ourselves. When you wear bright colors, or shadowy colors. No matter what you wear, it shows how you feel. If you wear yellow a lot, you probably get enthusiastic about everything! If you
Prospect High School should not start making students wear uniforms because they are inessential. To start off the argument strong, a great example is that it does not allow individuality or expression. By making a student wear a uniform to school it breaks the first amendment, and that is freedom of expression. It is limiting students from expressing their ideas, and wearing what is comfortable to them. It can be looked as a violation of the first amendment, and not having them at school would be

Alex Johnson tells us the struggle of what students go through regarding dress codes in "Students, parents bare claws over dress codes”.

They think that kids who want to wear hats in school either want to hide something, want to create a distraction, or sell illegal things. I’ve done a lot of research about this topic and I came up with the following theories: They are impolite to wear, they block the view of people behind them, the colors are associated with gangs, people playing games with them, taking them and playing Keep Away with
Schools have always had dress codes, because they believe that it is professional to have one. However, they do not understand how greatly having a dress code causes pain to the students who have to abide by it. For example, it was my little sister’s first day of her junior year and she wore a dress that had spaghetti straps. The school rules said that girls were allowed to wear tops with spaghetti straps, just as long as their bra straps were not showing. Strangely, as soon as she walked through
