I went to a highschool where we had to wear uniforms. I thought it was a good idea, because it elimated kids being bullied by others for wearing the wrong clothes.

On the other hand, I found the kilts that the girls were expected to wear, way too short. It must have been a man who designed the drinking fountains, because one had to bend way down to get to them. I opted to wear the pants that the boys wore, since I felt the kilts were way too short.

What are your opinions on school uniforms? Did you go to a school where you had to wear them? What were the school colours?

Mine were dark blue and white (the kilt was two tones of blue and we had navy blue blazers) and our pants were grey.

yes i think that there should be a uniform in high school because it maintains the disiplin amongst children also it creates a equal environment 4 all students .so do u study in high school,if yes then i too study in one .by the way my uniform is also white and dark blue in color.but instead of blazers we have sweater .

I think having school uniforms is a good idea - I went to private schools from the 3rd grade until I graduated high school. I agree that it helps when some kids get picked on just for what they wear. At the high school I went to, we even had a dress code for when we had free dress days.

I have no problem with school uniforms, I wore one, a rather peculiar one in fact, see the photo below - not me! They do allow a degree of conformity and standardisation which isn't such a bad thing.

I think school uniforms are great everyone looks the same and it is not a fashion statement,

but then there are the kids that are poor and can't afford to by them because they are expensive,

as far as short, it was the parents committee that decided in my son's school and yes I was on that committee and we do not go for short shirts that was not acceptable.


myLot reputation of 76/100. TenmaMetsuki (291)   ranked 245 out of 6,559 in student  10 months ago

don't you think a single uniform is much MUCH cheaper than having to buy dozens of different clothes for school?


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (17896)   ranked 613 out of 6,559 in student  10 months ago

no I don't, poor families cannot afford it, they uniforms here are like two hundred dollars and if you have 3 or 4 kids that is a fortune,

this has been a big school concern for parents here for years, Poor children cannot afford the uniforms.

I think there needs to be a way to provide for students so that the poor students do not have a hardship or have to go without.

I never had to wear a uniform for school. I think it would have been alot better for those children whose parents did not have alot of money to buy name brand clothes though.

I never had to wear a school uniform and neither did my children but I do understand why it was decided when I was a teacher to adopt them in the public schools where I taught. The bad thing was, as a teacher, part of MY job was to see that the students were IN a school uniform, since they started wearing them when I was a teacher and I taught at the junior high level, which made it more difficult. We were to check for belts and shoes and colors and that the shirts were tucked in and all, on top of the teaching duties that we already had. These students were given a choice of colors and NOT the school colors and were even given a choice of different styles of tops to wear. It was a casual look and was really quite comfortable. If the girls wanted, they could wear a jumper and blouse, or pants, like the boys, which most chose to do. Many of the students were able to get vouchers to get their uniforms for free at certain stores and the chain stores have certain areas where the parents can go in and find the uniforms, without having to go to a specialty store to buy them OR to pay a high price for them.

I kind of think that is going over the top... checking the childrens belts & shoes? Must be a strict school...


myLot reputation of 98/100. idowrite72 (1609)   ranked 3,768 out of 6,559 in student  10 months ago

If a dress code is to be enforced, it has to be enforced. There were so many who were following and so many more who were not, that they were making sure it was being followed by all, but waited until it was late in the year to be so strict about it. We had girls wearing fuzzy boots. Not accepted. Boys with colored shoe strings, which were not only gang related, but also not accepted. A strict school? haha NOT in the ways that they needed to be.

hi danishcanadian I am so glad I grew up in a country where you dont have school uniforms.
Most of the time I find them ugly and one style doesnt fit all. Will look okay on some kids and ugly on others and who says that as a girl I want to wear a SKIRT or DRESS to school, eeeeek, hated it and as soon as I was allowed to have a say in clothes then no more dreses or skirts for me.

Yes I was bullied as I wore the wrong clothes, second hand from God knows where all but strangely when I started to work and so had my own money to buy what I want I did NOT buy the fashionable stuff cause I did not like it one bit. I always do buy what I personally want and I dont even check whether it is up to date or not.

I wore a school uniform from age 5 to 17 years of age. It was navy blue, light blue and silver. We wore a shirt and tie, black stockings or socks. During the years I wore it I hated it but now I realize it was a good thing. We did not have the distraction my daughter had at non uniform school where the girls were more interested in what designer jeans who wore etc, etc. Concentration was very poor I realize now that I got a good education because I was not distracted by clothes or boys. Oh forgot to mention it was also an all girl school.

i suppose it'd be a good solution for the "popular clothes cliques",or to keep parents from spending a lot of money on clothes..but around here,the kids were usually targets of the non-uniformed kids.it'd only work if they all have to do it.

i never went to a uniformed school,but it might be a good idea.
however,i imagine kids would just find something else to quarrel about.
