assignment #14 Uniforms

My side of the argument would probably have to be that I don't agree with wearing uniforms at schools. The reason I think that is because there are people that follow dress code but at the same time, there are the gangs out there that cause problems. I think that all of the gangs are what is causing the debate on whether schools should make the kids wear uniforms or not. The gangs, groups, cliques, etc. like to wear colors that represent where there from. Also a lot of the school rules are affiliated with the gangs as well as the reason why we are not allowed to wear any color of bandanas in are hair or anywhere because of the cliques that again like to represent their color by using a bandana. Hats we aren’t aloud to wear them because that same reason but they have symbols that are normally used for baseball or sports teams but, now are used for all the cliques people come up with.


Back to the uniforms I think if schools where trying to stop kids from breaking the dress code then they should be more uptight about it and if one of the students are out of dress code then they should do something about it instead of complaining that kids are always out of dress code. I think that if all schools were to have uniforms there would be more kids out of uniform. More kids would not like the idea of it and would try to wear a different shirt but just with a jacket over it or something. I know how uniforms are because when I was in middle school nobody liked it. Everybody would try to wear clothes that were out of uniform and eventually get caught and get in trouble for such a little thing.

School is something important and every student should be able to learn and get the same amount of time to learn in class. If teachers were too busy paying attention to what every student is wearing trying to see if any students are out of dress code then students would get in trouble and we wouldn’t get any time to learn for the days we were in ISS or sitting at home for being suspended. When I was in middle school the ISS teacher would take each student to each teacher that they had. Each student would collect all their work that they need do make up and then we would have to sit there and do it in ISS. The thing that I didn’t get was why would the ISS teachers take us to go get work that we needed to do when some of the work that they gave us was hard to understand because we weren’t there in class to get it explained to or to learn what we were given.

That is why if it was my choice or if it was up to me I wouldn’t agree with uniforms at any school.
