Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think all schools should even up in the colleges and universities.

No option?

Then shut up. It's not like you can change anything.



╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

Well maybe if schoolboards realize how much of an a** they're making of themselves, things will change.

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝



We are not the school board.

Write to -them-.



╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

I never said that you were.

The entire point of this forum is a debate. Why does anyone bother posting, according to you? Nobody here can really change anything that they post about. So, according to your logic, they shouldn't bother posting at all.


╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝


...we are debating. You bring up, "I want change."
...what do we say? "Jolly good for you, ol' chap"? How do we debate, "I want something done" other than, "So go talk to the people who can do it."

Discussion =/= rant.

Most people seek to change others' views. You're looking for an actual outcome, though.

Personally, I feel there are a great many things I can change.



╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

No, I'm not looking for an actual outcome. I'm looking to somehow change people's insane views on this.

I'm hoping that wont really happen. We'll be walking around like zombies with ten instead of six hours a day of school by the time you're through with us.

You gave us dogmatic positions to the effect that clothing defines you and uniform ruins you and is unsupportable, unjustified and unpopular.

I gave you six reasons to the contrary, and others have also voiced support for school uniforms.

You have repeated that dogma.



We are at an impasse.
Personally I wish I had school uniforms. I mean sure everyone looks the same but that's where accessories come into the mix. If you have school uniforms it gives everyone a chance to stop judging people based on how they dress. It keeps you from worrying about what you're going to wear and you don't have worry.

But a lot of people don't worry at all. Infact, some people enjoy picking out outfits. Why deprive them of that? And if they don't judge them on how they dress, people will find other ways to judge them and we'll be right back where we started.

i hate school uniforms the school issues them to try to make every one the same its like a school of robots ******** uniforms theres no individuality in that evil
In mandatory learning, you go to school to learn. In college and the like, nobody care if you go to school in your peegee's. i prefer a uniform to whatever they want to wear. In schools where there are alot of gangs, it really cuts down on fights because of the idiotic notion of "color" I went to a school like that. i wore hand-me's from my brothers(because i wanted to,<I still steal from their closets> wink and I got to see others who were dressed in hand-me's as well, but because they didn't have a choice in the matter(I did.) When we went to uniforms at that school, it cut down on those fights (gang-banger idiots)by quite a bit. I won't say I was bullied over my clothes(or period), (because they tried and found they had a problem on their hands when they went flying down the hall.) But others were, and the teachers didn't really do anything to help the ones getting bullied unless they were seriously hurt, as in hospital-time hurt. So other students had to be the ones to break up fights. so I strongly support unforms. Creativity in dressing be damned. ig you want creativity in clothing, go get a sewing machine and classes on hhow to use it. Everyone is still dressing the same, because of big-chain stores selling multiples of everything, so creativity is gone in that arena. Besides, in highschools and middle schools, you are looked down on and/or bullied if you look or act different. Uniforms just cut down one of the excuses that bullies have.

Eh, close enough


Individuality should not only be expressed in your clothes. Perhaps you could wear some accessories. Maybe take an art class. Maybe not spouting the same bullshit that everyone does about uniforms turning people into robots.

Because I'll never be a terrorist

Oh, wow. Art class must be so much fun. rolleyes And there is no possible accessory that could look halfway decent compared to the hideous uniforms.

I live in the UK and nearly all Primary and secondary institutions have school uniforms I know I did in my primary and secondary schools so that's ages.

4-12 and 12-16 Apparently the collages (two because I got excluded :/) I wento after that used to have a policy but it eventually became untenable mavericks have a tendency of wearing the opposite genders uniform as an act of defiance. And then the idiots were like gonk scream gonk

Anyway yeah Uniforms in my experience are total bullshit I got bullied the ******** out of it doesn't matter what restrictions you put on dress code teenagers and children will still be dickheads.

It's been demonstrated time and time again that uniforms are ALWAYS going to be used as a scam by the school to extort money from parents. Hang on source.

And yeah in my many years of experience the school uniform is just a waste of resources for hyper-authoritarian types. You shouldn't invest in control measures unless they actually have a point.

Although I will say this my secondary school uniform consisted of a Maroon sweater with the logo on it and black trousers. When I was self-harming nearly every day and I would suffer a massive haemorrhage in the middle of class bathing myself in blood, unless you actually touched me and realized I was bleeding profusely you could never see the blood stains.

If I choose to wear the same colour combination of Dark red and black for 4 years then you might have suspected something was wrong with me.
yeah without uniforms we can express who we really are unlike when there are uniforms we cnt express our true self
