Uniforms+at+Hunt

Name- Dasha J. Date- 10/29/14 Mod- 6 Assignment- C.E News: Local Don't you hate getting up every morning and saying to yourself “What am I going to wear today!”. People wouldn't get judged by what they wear. Because some familys can't afford that much stuff for their kids and some parents need more jobs to have a roof over their kids heads and food on the table.So kids wouldn't get judge cause everyone would be wearing the same thing. Also it would help the parents save money. Parents wouldn't have to go shopping for new clothes every month or 3 months. Parents can go out for dinner more often with the extra money that they have. We know you guys are probably saying but “I want to be myself, cause I am my own person”, ya we know. We have already talked about that, we will have a day people can wear whatever they want (if its within the school dress code) and that would be every Friday. We know you guys are saying no, but just think about it.

What we are planing on having for school uniforms is that guys would be wearing khakis with a reddish kinda polo shirt that says Lyman C. Hunt and girls would be wearing the same thing but the jeans are a little skinnier and they would have a reddish kind of polo shirt that says Lyman C. Hunt. On game days (if you play a sport), you would wear a tie for the guys and a skirt or a dress for the girls. We would make sure that if people come into our school they would be able to see Lyman C. Hunt on our shirts, and know who we are. I asked some teachers and a student, I talked to Mr.Fisher about what he thought about school uniform. He said “Yes, but there would have to be issues to work out. One problem would be that people wouldn't get the uniforms (kids not being able to afford it), have to be able to help people get them, how the kids would feel about it. Good things would be is that people wouldn't be judged, people wouldn't feel like they would have to compete with other people. People feel like they are getting judged, it would help the kids remove the stress from them that they have to pick their outfits every morning. Kids tend to act like the way they dress. If people dress more nicer (not sweatpants every day) they may act little more like students. Good things- taking away stress, fact you don't have to worry about what you're wearing, school looking better. Bad- Money.”

The other teacher I talked to was Mr. Anger from Nova, and he said “Yes, cause I know that the kids would take pride when they come to school. Kids feel more better about themselves. Bad- the uniforms would be a lot of money, kids can't afford the uniforms, money, kids not following the dress code. Thinks that the ‘free friday’ is a great idea. Show the kids the go things about the school uniforms and not bad things, when you are telling them about the school uniforms. Kids would feel less judged, kids wouldn't get bullied about what they can't and can effort. School board issues- kids can afford the uniforms that kids can't use, who have to take care of the kids that have their religion.”

I also talked to a student on Nova; her name is Maddy and she said, “ No, Cause I think that students should be able to pick what they want to wear. Kids wouldn't be able to be who they want to be and who they can't be. Not being able to express themselves. Good things- kids wouldn't get late to school cause they know what they are going to wear. And kids wouldn't have to pick out their own outfits. Most other friends would say no to the idea, because they would have to same reason I said. Kids won't be able to express themselves and be who they want to be and dress the way they want to be.” - Maddy 6th grader Nova

If you ask me what I think I would say yes. If you are wondering why I would say yes is because I hate getting up every morning and asking myself what am I going to wear today. It takes me about a half an hour to figure out what I am going to wear. Some of the things I think that would be great about it is that people wouldn't get judged by what they can and can't afford. And I know for a fact that people get judge by the what they wear cause, I mean I do it sometimes too. But if we get school uniforms then that wouldn't be a problem and as Mr.Fisher said, it would take stress away from the students, so they wouldn't have to worry about what to wear the next day.
