The first being that we need to teach our kids to be individuals, not just one of the masses. In the uniforms they blend in and end up being just one of the crowd. <br /><br />The second reason is frankly, later on in life they will spend enough time wearing a uniform whether they work for McDonalds or work for a corporation and have to wear a suit and tie, they will be in some kind of uniform. Let them be themselves now.<br /><br />Uniforms are NOT a good way to cut down on gang-related wear when half the time the schools choose colors that are gang-related in the first place. My cousins' high school had uniforms and there was still a lot of gang related activity going on in the school - in fact the gangs incorporated the uniforms into their "gang wear" to identify members of the gangs. It isn't the solution to the problem, it just makes the gangs work a bit harder is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
