The Board of Education has been discussing School Uniforms for many years now; however, this issue has not been recognized until a few days ago. I strongly feel that uniforms would be very bad for the school. Regular clothing is a great way to express your personality; and it is considered way more fashionable to students. Also, the students will most likely not want to come to school anymore, being as how they dress is one of the few things that they have control over as children. As a result, grades may drop and there may be an abundance of intentional absences; along with a series of small "rebellions". Furthermore, students will probably end up focusing more on how to get rid of the uniforms as opposed to their studies. In order to have a successful school, we must always ask ourselves, "How can we make our school better?". I strongly believe that Uniforms are not the answer to that question. Those who have signed below agree as well.

Uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable. Stop trying to control what we wear.

Kids need to be able to show who they are. School is boring enough without making everyone look like robots.
