Should we have our children wear a uniform in public school?
A student wakes up Monday morning and it is time to get ready for school. Do they reach into their closet and throw on their school uniform, or do they grab their favorite blue jeans and a T-shirt?
This student is not going to a private school, but in fact they are getting ready for a public school. Young Billy may or may not have the choice on what they should wear today because some of our public school systems are making school uniforms mandatory.
If your own public school is considering uniforms, what would be some of the advantages or negatives of such a policy? Do you like the thought of everyone united and looking the same, or maybe you want your child to have the freedom to choose.
School uniform polices may start becoming more common in our public school system. Perhaps they are just the thing the next generation needs.
