Dear PRINCIPAL,
Students should learn to make informed decisions about the clothes they wear.Bullying occurs whether students wear uniforms or not. The root cause of bullying should be addressed. Today's school uniforms seem more a punitive measure meant to deny students their many right to freedom of expression and individuality.
School uniforms became a hot-button issue in the mid-1990s after several high-profile incidents of violence involving teens and items of clothing made headlines. Former President Bill Clinton led the charge, instructing the Department of Education to issue policy manuals to schools nationwide on how to safely institute a uniform policy.
Kids who are proponents of uniforms also point to the fact that everyone
Schools sought out to fight the war against bullying with the idea that having fewer differences in dress code would slow down or end bullying. This simply is not the case. Bullying is a universal happening that is predicated on the behavior of students toward their peers, not the clothes they wear. This could occur over a number of different reasons none corresponding with what the students wear. In addition, students still can choose different name brand forms to their uniform choices therefore, there still remains the disconnect in regards to stopping bullying through what the students are allowed to wear. The conclusion on this matter is that with schools taking away clothing options privileges it only succeeds in establishing new tactics for bullies to employ instead of abolishing bullying altogether.
Everyday we see more and more students bullied because of their appearance or what they're wearing. By implementing school uniforms, we can greatly decrease the number of students who are bullied every day. In the article, “Appearances are Destructive,” Mark Mathabane (the author) tells us how his sisters were bullied because what they wore was “unusual.” “They were constantly taunted… they often
Having school uniforms greatly decrease one’s way to get bullied. “Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it's hard to make fun of what someone is wearing when you're dressed exactly the same...” (Should Students Have to Wear School Uniforms?). With the same as gang violence, having uniforms does not get rid of bullying altogether. With my experiences in both non-uniform and uniform enforced schools, I saw far less bullying in schools with uniforms. Most of the bullying incidents I have seen are focused on the kid’s appearance due to clothing. Having the uniforms can help students look at each other in a more equal
Thanks Juan. As discussed, I will advise Karl from the City of Pembroke Pines the following:
Dear people present here today, I am here to persuade you to hire more people my age to your work place and I've got plenty of reasons why.
My name is Anna Gartman and I reside at Fort- Washington, Maryland. I am sixteen years old and I am writing you from Bishop McNamara High School where I am a senior. I am writing you because I care about refugees, unaccompanied children, and other vulnerable populations.
To begin this letter, I would like to thank you for donating prayer and money to support Diamond Willow Ministries. You were very much a huge part of my recent trip there, as well as the boys camp that took place through the ministry.
This letter is in regards to my nine-year-old daughter Valerie Mendez SID: 168809 who is currently in Ms. Jennifer Dembowski 4th grade class.
I hope this message finds you well. I'd like to begin this letter off topic and take the opportunity to thank you for your efforts in health care reform. The greatest nation this world has ever known has an embarrassing health care system. It's a personal desire to see that no one's life is put in jeopardy due to financial means. My effort in contacting you today is in regards to something I fear desperately as I watch it unfold. It's a touchy subject that I personally do not like to debate or discuss with others. The last thing I ever want is to be considered an advocate of a policy or practice that ultimately would be discriminatory to another group of citizens. But unfortunately, I cannot agree with the new idea of integrating women into
In conclusion, students should not be forced to wear uniforms. This is because they take away a student’s right to their natural process of finding their individuality, they do not help to stop bullying even though they might increase student’s safety a little. However, obligatory school uniforms may seem like a beneficial idea at first but it would cause more harm than
It's Kevin. You were doing great in school and that was a good sign that you can keep on going without me. It really impressed me how good you were doing and how much you paid attention and improved. God has a plan for this and he made you the way you are no matter how smart or dumb you are. My advice for the future is to its to keep working hard in school. Also keep going on adventures and write in the adventure book. Max you were a good friend even through the tough and easy time. In the short time we were together we made the best of it. Getting purses out of the sewer, running through ponds, and even going on quest, and lots of walks. Thanks for

Thank you. I want to start there. As a matter of fact, I think it's important I start there. You're one of the dopest MCs to grace hip-hop and I remember feeling inspired to sing because you made alto singing popular. You blessed us with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and for this we are forever grateful.
School uniforms do nothing to prevent bullying. Linne Hoofnagle’s article goes on to say that, “If we convince ourselves that placing limits on clothing choices will eliminate school bullying, we are kidding ourselves” (Hoofnagle). The idea that all the harassment that takes place in school is centered around student’s wardrobes is preposterous. If you make students all dress alike the center of the bullying may move to if they have money, the presence or absence of glasses, condition of their skin, height, and weight. School faculty and administration are just looking at the superficial causes of bullying and not looking at the root of the problem. As a result, they are not only punishing the bully by
The first letter seemed to be in a calm, yet serious tone. The student obviously feels strongly about the situation and wants to make a change. He gave strong support for his argument, "kids are exposed to advertising on a daily basis . It's on television, the radio, the internet, on billboards, and in magazines." By the way that the student focuses on the topic and is just straight forward with what he wants to get across is strong and is very well worth thinking about.
