Are school uniforms a bad idea?

[Yuki_JPN]

[aaleena]

No. You can make your uniform cool with your own individual style. Accessories accessories! Plus, we will have more time to focus on other things than worry about what to wear to school. Some kids are less fortunate to have a different outfit for school everyday. So this uniform idea is very much fair for everyone. It includes safety, where fighting and bullying are lessened because everyone is basically wearing the same clothes. Also makes the school look great as a whole , proper and sharp.

[Espolare2000]

Yes and no. They were meant to promote equality between children of different classes so poorer kids didn't have to feel bad and inferior wearing cheaper clothes and richer kids didn't feel superior and obnoxious wearing more expensive clothes which I think is a good idea. The only real problem is that often schools forget the orginal purpose of uniforms and opt for more expensive uniforms which makes the a struggle for working families to purchase.

[Astoriana]

I donated my uniform back to the school after I graduated for that exact reason.

[Espolare2000]

@Astoriana yours must have been quality because my uniforms fall apart before the year ends. Id be ashamed to donate my uniform from last year.

[Astoriana]

They were decent. It cost me enough, so I would hope that it would be.

[laurieluvsit]

No, they are a good idea.
I love school uniforms. I think they are very sexy.
I have never worn them but girlfriends have done so at Catholic School.
Your's is almost as pretty as you :)

[Espolare2000]

I think that uniform is too small for the girl in the picture. Maybe it's her little sisters lol

[laurieluvsit]

@Espolare2000 I think you are right! ... lol

[haremhan]

@Espolare2000 you right :)

[laurieluvsit]

Thank you for the MHO Ms Yuki, you are so sweet!

[Yuki_JPN]

thanks you~you're welcome

[innerthighlicker]

I totally agree with you darling I think they're very sexy

[madhatters4]

no not necessarily

in philadelphia in the 90s they had a massive problem with violence. people being beaten up for what they were wearing or people having clothing stolen. they implemented a dress code and the violence and incidences dropped massively (like barely an issue now).

uniforms are not necessary but they can be highly beneficial

[Anon85]

I don't think so. You don't get everyone obsessing over their fashion in school, and it creates a sense of unity. I'm all for it. What sucks is when the school has a crappy uniform

[ladsin]

In what sense? They instill an idea of uniformity...

[Anonymous]

Yes; they're usually hella racist, sexist and transphobic; they sexualise kids' bodies which is super creepy, they make you feel dehumanised and stripped of individuality, and they don't prevent class-based bullying whatsoever which is supposedly what they're meant to do. If anything they increase it by socializing kids to think for example certain hairstyles (by no coincidence largely Black hairstyles) are 'innappropriate', or tatoos make someone look 'trashy'. Such bullshit. Teach kids to embrace and respect diversity rather than trying to erase it via policing clothing

[Nachowedgie]

While I agree with most of what you say, saying that uniforms are usually hella racist, sexist and transphobic and that they sexualise kids bodies is simply untrue and ridiculous

[Opinion Owner]

@Nachowedgie Like my example with hairstyles, what's considered 'appropriate dress' is often highly racialised and excludes predominantly white cultures. For example dreadlocks being disallowed even when the kid is rastafarian.
Uniforms are usually gendered, and schools go by the gender students were assigned at birth, not students' actual gender identities. There was an incident at my school of a trans girl being excluded for wearing the girls' uniform.
Finally, girls' uniforms usually have more rules involved and are more closely policed, with the reason often being given that revealing clothing on girls is 'distracting' to male students, or even teachers in some cases (a world of ew). Even when this isn't explicitly stated, girls wearing revealing clothing is pointedly shamed.
I strongly feel all this sends terrible messages to students

[Opinion Owner]

*non-white cultures

[ShaunaM95]

I don’t think they are. I went to both primary and secondary school wearing uniforms and I was happy in both places. It takes pressure off the students having to have the most “in fashion” clothes or whatever. Every student wears the same thing.

[Dxk007]

I hate school uniforms too but, if they are not used, they would give rise to discrimination among students.
So, in my opinion, school uniforms should be made in taking the opinion of all the students.

[Astoriana]

They’re fine, but they’re expensive. I spent like $1000 on my high school uniform.

[Dxk007]

Seriously 😮 I'll get an iPhone and an Android phone too in a 1000$. Are they gold plated🤔😂

[Astoriana]

@Dxk007 that’s what mine cost.

[Dxk007]

Where they worth the price?

[Astoriana]

@Dxk007 well, they lasted me all throughout high school

[Dxk007]

Still expensive tho. Mine uniform lasted from 6th to the end of school

[Astoriana]

@Dxk007 I agree. But I didn't have a uniform before high school, so I don't know why I would have had one in grade 6.

[Dxk007]

Okay. In schools at my place uniform is there since nursery. So, I changed schools in 6th.

[Astoriana]

@Dxk007 good for you.

[H2OHydrox]

A bad idea? For what? I think they’re fine the way they are, and they should keep wearing them.

[LasPlagas]

It look cool in Harry Potter but I think its a bit old fashioned for today its more to represent order and discipline

[HaveNoName]

So basically what you are saying is, "to be disciplined is old fashioned".

Hence the fucked up society !!!

[LasPlagas]

@HaveNoName actually yea, schools today (when I was there) the teachers authority is lower some guys even calles the teacher by his first name.

[HaveNoName]

I hear you. We would be just as scared of our teachers as our parents. These kids talk back at teachers.

[IgnisFatuu]

In my opinion everyone should wear whatever they feel like/are comfortble in, as long as it doesn't hinder learning.

[CT_CD]

Yeah. Then there would be no women walking around in booty shorts

[TacosRAwesome]

Not for me. I love uniforms. Less time trying to be fashionable and failing.

[WhoDatGuy]

School is work training. Just make the uniform not sexy and your fine!

[jbskhan]

Girls look more hot in them.. really love to have sex

[wannaplaytoy]

no the uniform represents when we discovered the opposite sex

[2opaz]

No, the main reason is to avoid classism

poorer kids will usually get bullied

[2opaz]

i'm sure this is especially prevalent in japan.

[Nachowedgie]

I'd usually say that they are but at the same time I can't resist a cute Japanese girl in school uniform ;)

[TheUglyMan]

No its only americans that see this as bad whilst the rest of the world laughs at us.

[Lumberman53TheSecond]

No it takes the whole idea you have to dress a certain way out of the school environment

[Deukalion]

Old fashioned system of communism and religions. Must deleted from the system.

[Portissac]

No, they help disguise class difference through uniformity

[Torrianna15]

no. . . it actually sounds like a good idea

[EvieRoosoo]

No, i want to wear my own stuff.

[RohitLakra]

I don't think they are bad.
