What is your opinion on school uniforms?

1 Answer

Answer :

Some of them are cute. Others… not so much. My kids do not like the idea of attending a school where they have to wear them. My daughter is really into style and watches this show where they take ordinary people and totally make them over. Of course, that’s exactly why people want uniforms—it keeps kids from using clothes to indicate status, and it keeps them from getting violent in order to steal something someone else has. On the other hand, it’s the kind of thing that is easily fetishized. Like french maid’s outfits or nurses whites. Kind of like putting a target on a girl’s back that some men might think says, “take me!” I doubt if school boards consider that when they make the decision to force kids to wear uniforms.
