Search Results: latest dress style

The argument in favor of school uniforms is to take all the competition away from students that feel compelled to out-dress each other, making the students with the least amount of resources feel bad because they aren't able to afford the best, newest and latest fashions like other, more affluent, students can.

Then others say that uniforms are "Too Conformist" and do not allow students enough individuality and ability to be their own person, but instead makes them look more like puppets or reproductions of one another.
So the next step is to drop the uniforms but make sure that the rules as to what is acceptable, or not, strict and tight to keep the students minds more on their study's then on there school dress attire.

But, can that be too strict and cause a rebellion in our kids causing a need to than moderate the student dress style somewhat and reduce the restrictions, so maybe moderate restrictions are the way to go?

Then of course if you remove the code altogether, except the most minimum of standards, does that make for a better school environment because now each student can express themselves as the individuals that they truly are, or does it take it too far into the area of a distraction.

I guess the bottom line is SHOULD SCHOOLS TELL THEIR STUDENTS HOW THEY ARE GOING TO DRESS? What is your opinion? Please chime in on this, won't you? PLEASE?
