Are you tired of your school uniform? Sick of wearing the same bland shirt everyday? Why not get rid of your school uniform so you can dress any way you want. Don’t you think a school uniforms are too expensive to throw out? Why spend money on a shirt you don’t even like? Don’t you think that school uniforms are useless, well so do I! Students can’t express their freedom and free will with school uniforms because if you have to wear it everyday and there aren’t a variety of choices you can choose from. Wearing to same thing over and over again is really boring for example wearing a dark green shirt and black pants everyday is bland there isn’t even any style in that. Most people dress to show their emotions. Some people have to wear a certain article of clothing because of their culture and religion. As a current student of Arthur E. Can't Elementary, I do not agree with the policy of the "dress code". It gives students at Canty lack of confidence. We're being forced to dress in these clothes we don't even like! What are uniforms benefitting? Nothing! By holding kids back from their freedom of choice, they seem to lack sense of identity. Uniforms don't solve problems. Kids will find different ways to bully others. You can take away one reason to bully, but there is still how a kid does his/her hair, how they accessorize, or if they are rich or poor. Clothes don't help kids get good grades. How kids study is how they get good grades. They aren't always the most comfortable outfits, and they can also be expensive. You don't want to be doing laundry every night. It will just be hard for whoever does your laundry (kids or adults), and most kids use their clothes to express themselves. You don't want to take away a kid's personality. Uniforms make us all look alike. No one is like someone else. We are all DIFFERENT people! And we should be able to express that! We are all different people with different personalities. Uniforms take away a child's way of expressing themselves. And for high schoolers this can be bad because when they don't have output for creativity, they do stupid and harmful things. It also take away a kids individuality. By giving kids uniforms your making them all the same. No one wants to be the same as someone else. That's what makes us us. You wouldn't want all the pictures in the world to look the same would you? We shouldn't have school uniforms. Students should be able to express themselves instead of wearing the same, boring clothes every day. I mean, what if you're religious and you have to wear a certain piece of clothing everyday? How can you achieve that when you have to wear a uniform? It's a lack of freedom. We should have the right to express ourselves in what makes us most comfortable. I do believe that students at Canty would be ecstatic to be able to wear clothing that suits them best!
