Hey, I am a regular student at Northeast, and the whole uniform policy is getting way to out of control. The whole thing with girls being required to start wearing ties just was the last straw for me. I’m making this page to start a petition to get rid of the uniforms. I know this isn’t going to happen over night, but I am going to try to set a deadline. I want to end these uniforms once and for all. If you would like to help, there is a few things that you and your friends and family can do…
1.) Like this page (: and invite all your friends.
2.) Wait for the date when the rebellion day is set. (I’m thinking before winter break.)
3.) On the day of the rebellion don’t come to school in uniform. WAIT! Let’s back this up here, if I come in without uniform, I’m getting in-house. Yes, they give detentions and in-house if you come in without uniform, but lets start to think logically now. There is over 3,000 students attending Northeast. The auditorium holds about 900 and the gyms hold about 800 total. So if about 2,000 of us come in without uniform, they will no longer have any place to lock us up in. As Saturday detentions go, they don’t have the money to pay teachers to come in and basically baby-sit the whole school. So thinking logically there is 3,000 of us against the principal, (we all know 90% of the teachers don’t care if you have a tie on or not, or if your shirt is tucked in or not.). So this is the biggest part, coming in the day everyone chooses to rebel.
4.) Along the lines of the rebellion, I need some people to be committed to helping the cause, that means the night before and morning of to start chain mails and texts reminding people to rebel. Word needs to get around.
5.) A paper petition will be written up, if you would like to be a sponsor and get signatures, it would be greatly appreciated. I am going to need at least 1 person per lunch period, and 1 person per SLC minimum. So if you or your friends would like to volunteer, please send me a personal message. I will give further instructions from there.
6.) Along with the paper petition, a digital petition will be made up. (website pending).
The momentum behind this movement has grown substantially in recent days. Your collective commitment to reconsidering our school uniform policy is now impossible for the administration to ignore.

This school is 5 minutes from my home. My daughter looks forward to going to public school but I have begun to consider sticking her in online school just because of the uniforms. I dont want to spend 15 dollars on an ugly, hot, uncomfortable uniform! What is the point of all the cute clothes her grandparents bought for her when she cant wear them except for weekends or after school? Her regular clothes are much cheaper and more comfortable. I went to school in Washington state and we don't have uniforms up there. I think I only know of 2 instances where someone was made fun of for their clothes. Literally only 2. Other than that no one cared what you wore. We all had our own style. I literally thought about moving out of state before she turned 5 because of uniforms.

My son complains about these polos every day. They are bad quality and scratchy. Just let them wear hoodies and jeans already.

The ties are actually ridiculous. Nobody wears a tie to learn math. We look like we are going to a funeral every single morning.
