school uniforms?

[WalterMitty]

i decided it would be best to create a thread for school uniforms.

i favor uniforms.  they are a good idea.  it does put everyone on an equal playing field and creates an atmosphere more suitable for learning.  im also astounded by some of the clothes kids are wearing.

i can assure you kids that you wont be able to show up for work wearing the clothes you wear to school.  the vast majority of jobs have strict dress codes and/or uniforms, so why shouldnt schools?

I've never had a job with a dress code, they were all "behind the scenes" deals. but even in jobs were you actually deal with customers, not all have dress codes. Just go into any record store or most video stores.

the real world isnt one big record or video shop.

being well dressed is a big part of professionalism.  would you hire a lawyer or go to a doctor that was dressed like a slob?

so, rightwingnut, are you saying that firemen, police officers, car mechanics, are doing a job that a 'robot' can perform?

i wear a uniform to work. (and id put my individual thought skills up there with anyone.)
