Well, I personally (although I bitch and moan about it all the time) am really for school uniforms. I think that it equalises everyone. No-one can judge people based on their uniform if everyone has to wear the same thing, and it stops girls from dressing up like complete sluts (I know a few out there that would, given the oppurtunity). But my main reason for liking school uniforms is this: It would be such a frikken mission to get dressed every morning if it wasn't for uniforms. To find the right outfit, match it with the right shoes etc.
I do see where people are coming from though, when saying that it puts everyone in a box. I think that there should be a balance. We should have uniforms, but be able to wear our hair however we want!
At my school, they are very strict about uniforms. We have certain black shoes to wear, with white socks folded down once. Our blue checked dresses, no shorter than 3 fingers above the knee, belt through both loops. Hair done with black and ONLY black accessories, not to be hanging in our face or touching our collar. No braids, buns or other exotic styles.
So is there a balance?
it is true! Sarah, you had to get new slidy clips because they weren't black!
