Positive and Negative Affect on Uniforms


Uniforms are classified as clothing you wear on a daily bases in school or in work. Starting from Monday through Fridays and for some maybe even Saturday and Sundays. Some students are considering uniforms as "whack" as in that the uniforms are weak and uncool or "played out" as out of style. Some students say that uniforms are actually pleasant and everyone should wear it. Constitution High school was known for not wearing uniforms, but as the end of 2008 all students were ordered to wear collared shirts. Not only collared shirts was put into effect, as of getting your education in con high students were also not allowed to wear inadequate clothing such as ripped jeans, clothing that was to big and falls off your waist or clothing that was to tight and couldn't fit on your waist. In Con High some students explain the positive, negative, and the changes that need to be made in order to form a more perfect uniform or no uniform at all. Amber Boddie a 10Th grader and graduate of 2011 gives her opinion on the uniform policy she states," the positive effect on our uniform would be that we will look presentable and will look appropriate for school". Zoey Frakes, another 10Th grader at constitution high school add," I really don't think there is a positive effect on uniforms, students aren't allowed to express themselves and wearing what ever we want is how some of us express ourselves, through our clothing". Malik Cooper on the other hand actually explained the negative side of uniforms. He states," Uniforms in my opinion sucks, I mean people actually get sent home for not wearing a collared shirt, at least their wearing a shirt, and for some people can't afford to buy collared shirts all the time they would just rather slap on a Dollar T-shirt and some jeans ad call it a day". As you can see students have different opinions on uniforms so what would Constitution High School do make more terrible decisions about the uniform or give up and let students wear what ever the please.
