how do you think about school uniforms? i am curious how other people from different countries think about it, i think i am lucky living in a country where you don not have to wear school uniforms

Well in Australia... it is very serious, there is to be
-no jewelry
-no piercings (i have to take mine out)
-no ipods/phones
and you can get expelled on the spot for a fight or saying the "f" word

other then that our uniform is very weird.. its just navy blue with grey pants, i hate it
because i prefer black clothing ^.^

I hate my uniforms and dress code. It cost more money buying uniforms and out of school clothes and it makes every practically look alike so it's boring :\

My school:
- White , black , stone , gold , forest green polo.
- Khakis or black pants.
- Belt if belt loop.
- Shirts tucked in.

Omg i hated having uniforms -.- especially because they were so restricting "TUCK IN YO SHIRTS!" ughh

Hehe,
I have uniforms in my school, obviously since I go to a private Christian school.
There is a dress code, no Piercings, No gum, Jewelry for guys, no logos, no hats.
But we just need to wear a Polo : Red, Black, Gray, White, and Pink for the girls
Yeah, I'm used to wearing "uniforms" :/

Wearing school uniform hmm I guess I dont really like. Mainly because I like to wear casual more and uniforms are just useless unless we wear it at special school days or something

that's what ours WAS like 1dogzilla :P except we had to wear a belt and tuck our shirt in
-.- our teacher would loan girly belts to all who forgot theirs...

^_^, How did that go?,
You dont need a belt of anything in my school,
You just need the polo.
And Why did you need to tuck in your shirt and wear a belt? Was urs a privat school too?
See, My principle had rules that we did need to wear a belt and tuck in our shirts but that was over 10 years ago.
XD

Well on my elementary and highschool.
We did have a requirements like this:
White Polo
Khaki pants
Black leather shoes(but in my fourth year I didn't wear my Black leather shoes. I always wear brown rubber shoes.)
White socks
Shirts tucked in also.
and most important the ID. xD
Now in my current school it's just the
School's Polo and pants
Black leather shoes.
ID.
But now I'm currently wearing it only in Mondays and Fridays since I don't have classes in thursday and tuesday
and Wednesday we can wear civilian attire :D

i hate school uniforms, you can express what you like to wear or anything, and there no variety, everyone looks the same.

But I think only school uniforms is the only way to determine what school you are in and the saddest part is that we must follow it.

i agree, at my school we pay to go there. so i think if we pay, we should be able to wear the cloths we want to wear

Yeah I think so too. We do not pay for the uniforms. We pay to gain knowledge and have our skills sharpen in our school.
I think uniforms definitely has nothing to do except to determine which school you are.

yea i agree with brys18 100% were just paying for the advanced teaching of that school, not strict dress code

Yeah. But I don't have a bad ideas or against on school. I do respect that they will require a uniform. It's their rule. We are enrolled there
and must follow it(really the saddest part for me xD)
It's just that I sometimes hate wearing school uniforms.
