School Uniforms

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

NO NO NO

Having them in high schools is bad enough, but the thought of me having to wear one is horrific! I also doubt you'd find a single professor at my university who'd favor this.

Now that I'm out of high school I really don't care.

This poll includes collges and universities too.

I'd love to see the success in trying to implement this at my university! Largely because not even the administration would support it.

I actually never knew anyone in high school who was made fun of for what he or she wore.

Same here. And it did happen occaisonally in middle school, but the exact opposite of what these people are claiming, the kids picked on were the ones wearing expensive clothes. One of my friends got suspended for a week for beating up a prep, it wasn't for that reason of course, but rather that the kid was a complete dickhead who had it coming, but I heard plenty of kids congratulate him later for giving a black eye to an "Abercrombie wearer". My friend also belonged to one of the most affluent families at my school, and they could've easily afforded expensive clothes if he wanted to.

Oh, so since it never happened at your school, it must never happen anywhere else?

No, but it shows uniforms would've had no benefit at my school.

Yeah, kids dress so creatively when they all wear the exact same style and fashion.

Except they don't.

I suspect the only youths Tredrick knows are the mall-type.

I teach in a low SES school.

And BRTD is right, they really wear about 5 or 6 different outfits.  But the point stands (and is a play on a semi-famous quote.)

Even if true, you can have much variation in an "outfit". For example, my "outfit" is always T-shirt and jeans. I NEVER wear anything else, except I might put a hoodie on when it's cool but not cold enough for my jacket and often leave it on inside. However my shirts are all different from others. I always wear band shirts. This is far different from wearing a shirt with Abercrombie and Fitch on it.
