Uniforms

I think uniforms are disgusting, and they keep people from being able to express themselves. I had to wear uniforms in elementary and the little bit of time I did go to GW. I hated having to tuck my shirt in, because it was so uncomfortable. And my shirts would sometimes shrink in the wash, so it was hard to tuck them in. I also hated only having the choice of being able to wear 3 different colored shirts (white, red, and navy), and two different colors of pants( khaki and navy). You would walk around school matching with about 100 different kids. I understand that schools want kids to wear uniforms because they have more of a control on what the kids wear. Kids these days like to show everything, and sometimes dress sloppy I guess. But even with uniforms, kids found a way to make them "un-uniformly." The only thing about uniforms that I liked was the fact that I didn't have to sit there and worry about what I was going to wear that day, seeing as I only had a few choices. Other than that, I think uniforms are terrible. I would rather just stick to dress codes, where you can pretty much wear whatever you want, it just has to be modest. That's what I enjoyed about my junior high, and high school years at LCA. We did not have uniforms, but we had a dress code, which really wasn't a problem.
