Students Give Opinions about School Uniforms
This week, students discussed their feelings about school uniforms. Here are the best student comments:
“Yes [students should wear uniforms] but maybe they could be a little different between students , due to the lack of expression that the uniform gives us. For instance, in American Private schools students get different choices, for shirts, ties, shoes, etc… There is a uniform code but its not as strict as the one that we have here.”
-Máximo A.
“I said no, but , if every person wears what they want it can be a mess so the school use the uniform just to control that”
-Augustin G.
“Students should be able to choose from different uniform options, as well as Max said, in many schools from other countries, this is something very common. Although uniforms give the school a great and respectful “identity”, it’d be fun to try something new.”
-Martin B.
“No, because the uniform is repetitive, it would be more entertaining, not always be uniform, we should occupy street clothes, and when important events take school uniform.”
-Maria Jose V.
