Uniforms and Dress Codes

Eagle Eye · 12-16-2004, 03:32 PM

UGH! I hate uniforms

What are your opinoins on uniforms and dress codes

ME, personally, I hate them, I want to have the freedom to wear what I damn well please.

Earlier today during 1st period, they announced that there will be a new rule enforced when we come back for the second semester:

All students must have pants above the waist, not on the waist, above, and all students must tuck in their shirts.

I hate both of these:
1. I hate tucking my shirt in, it looks tacky, and it is uncomfortbale.
2. Even with a belt my pants go below my waist, I buy my jeans 2 sizes bigger to grow into, and since I don't want to be struggling for air in tight ass pants.

Along with those, it's the fact that, I don't mind sagging pants....as long as they aren't at your ankles, more importantly as long as we can't see your underwear, please, if you're going to wear sagging pants, PLEASE wear a long shirt, I have no interest in the color of your drawls.

I'm not that comfortable with the idea of uniforms. But that's mainly because I never like wearing "dress up" clothes.

I don't even feel right in slacks..=/

Swordmaster Link · 12-16-2004, 05:41 PM

I don't mind, honestly. I've been wearing a uniform to school my whole life so I guess I'm used to it. Obviously if I had the choice I wouldn't wear it, but it really isn't a big deal.

[sage] · 12-16-2004, 06:14 PM

Well i'm kind of in a military school so its not really a big deal to me. I guess it'll be a nice change of pace in college that I can wear whatever.

Eagle Eye · 12-16-2004, 06:53 PM

Yeah, well I like being able to decide for my own self what to wear. I don't want to look like everyone else, that's why I aminly go clothin shoppin when I'm home in Georgia, because I want to look different from the people in Memphis.

Are you in a boarding school or college or something in memphis?

He's in public.
He just lives in Memphis, people dress in different styles depending on where they're from.

School uniforms I really don't like. Dress codes I highly support.

Yeah, I don't mind dress codes, you gotta have SOME rules for outfits, no matter how good they look, I don't think it's respectful to let your body hang out like that, in an education setting.

***CaptHayfever*** · 12-17-2004, 11:06 AM

I prefer a loose dress code in the K-12 range....unfortunately, I had a uniform from K-8 & a tight dress code from 9-12.

But the whole thing in college where there's NO dress code, yeah, that's quite awesome. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Especially when you wake up 5 minutes before your first class, because then you can go there in your pajamas and you won't be late and no one will care, because it's like 7 or 8:30 in the morning, and half the campus isn't even awake yet, so people are just glad you made it to class at all.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

ocarinagirl · 12-17-2004, 11:25 AM

^I love how I can wear, say, my Communism shirt all the time and no one (save for a few tightasses on my floor) cares. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Getting sent to the principal for wearing a shirt that says something like "Got Wicca?" is dumb and also retarded. Marymee and them didn't even know what Wicca was and therefore thought it was teh bad. I mean, really...I had to explain it to the man.

He let me go, though.

Eagle Eye · 12-17-2004, 12:58 PM

Well, though Dress codes are somewhat retarded, it keeps the idiots from doing dumb things.

Tacky Day: Two white boys painted their faces black and brought cardboard and "breakdanced" on them.

UGH, that was just ignorant to me, but slightly funny.

Not as good as last year when all the black kids dressed in Abercrombie and tight shirts and pants, and the white kids dressed in du rags, and bought new shoes JUST FOR TACKY DAY THAT THEY NEVER WORE AGAIN

My school's dresscode.

ZIPPYDIPPY19 · 12-17-2004, 05:20 PM

^ That bites.

And yeah, dress codes are fine, but uniforms are just over the line.

***CaptHayfever*** · 12-18-2004, 05:04 PM

^^You got jeans? That's more than I ever got.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I hate school uniforms. When a school gets uniforms, they are almost always the ugliest things you can imagine or extremley tacky. There is a catholic school in town and it uses cloth that's itchier than Poison Ivy and they offer just as much protection from cold as Kleenex. They even have the girls wear dresses and short-sleeve shirts and make them go outside in the middle of winter. I see that they have found better ways of punishment than the classic ruler.

Dress Codes I can tolerate though. It's when they overenforce them to the point where everything except for white shirts and black pants are forbidden.

Swordmaster Link · 12-19-2004, 01:59 AM

Oops, I misinterpreted...no I haven't worn uniforms my whole life, just elementary school. In my high school there's just a dress code.

Bomby · 12-25-2004, 04:42 PM

If I'm allowed to wear my slacks baggy and have my shirt halfway out my pants, I don't mind.

Brandon2390 · 12-27-2004, 09:44 PM

Never had any type of uniform and dont want to. It sucks not wearing what you like. I mean, if you cant choose what you wear, what can you choose? Schools are always talking about the students taking control of their actions, but 12th grade students cant pick what they wear to school?

[sage] · 12-28-2004, 01:06 AM

Personally public schools should never have uniforms (dress codes are fine though) and private schools should do whatever the hell they want.
