What are your thoughts on wearing school uniforms.

And here I thought I can get to see how other fakku member's old school uniforms look like.

My old school had uniforms too

Normal students had to wear this, boys had to wear a school's tie, while girls didnt have to, lol


While prefects wear this with a prefect tie.


I honestly think the prefects look 10 times better. Muslims girls had to wear a long dress which is totally different tho.

Still, on wednesday, half of the day is club activities so we are allowed to wear club t shirts to school, and many of them are custom made by students of that particular club, and usually we make sure it looks good.

On Friday, because of muslims prayers and tons of free time in school for the other races, we tend to wear club t shirts too and held our own activities to pass time. And the teachers does not really mind us wearing it throughout the class.

Even so, many of the girls and some boys tend to "innovate" and personalize themselves in school by wearing jackets or outer vests in class with their school uniforms.

So like half of the time in school, we arent really wearing the uniforms in a proper way because of lax rules.

As for my thoughts on the concept, I do want to be able to choose what i wear in school, but yea, rules arent made by students anyway.

On my high school, it was in the school's regiment that all students were to wear the school's uniform, which was both ugly (with light-blue pants and white shirt with the school's logo) and expensive.

I kinda became an exception to that rule, because i refused to wear it to the end. School's director even threatened me with expulsion, but they gave up in the end and i was able to wear anything i wanted to. I don't know, I've always had some issues with nonsense rules, and also, i value my self expression.

That rule was later dropped, and uniform became optional.

Also there's the fact that i was kind of a junkie back then, and usually the police dislikes seeing a high school student wearing the school's uniform while smoking or drinking...

Funny things to notice are:

1. I did, in fact, own the damn uniform.
2. It was a public school. There's no sense in making students use an uniform...

I've been to schools that have done both way. As long as you don't have horrible school colors or something it pretty much ends up not mattering. As uniforms aren't just shirt + plus but shirt, pants, vests, sweaters, etc. you don't really end up looking exactly like everyone else anyway, not to mention the fact that you could also be wearing shirts tucked in or not or other things like that.

That said, I'm not really the kind of person who cares much about fashion and I really just see clothes as shit I wear to not be naked in public as opposed to shit to make people perceive me this way or that way.

I never found that wearing a uniform in any way limited people from forming social circles or identifying who was in which ones. You still had your classic groups like jocks, geeks, stoners, etc. and nobody had any trouble telling who was who.

It is just okay with me on wearing a school uniform. I'm going to remove them anyway after I got home. And wearing one should not be compulsory because there are still some people in this world that cannot afford on buying one. (It's funny for some people but it's the truth.) So we should be glad that we are still wearing those.

yeah walking down a hallway where everyone looks the same...

Talk about school spirt...lol

Been wearing uniforms since kindergarten.
I always like uniforms, they teach kids (supposed to) about unity. Not using uniforms will somehow make secularism. (lol they'll still secularize themselves anyway)

and "uniforms makes people look the same", lol no. nerds will always look like nerds, jocks will always look like jocks. The slight variation of wearing the uniforms that makes the difference.

But it is rather annoying when 1 school has different uniforms for a specific day.

It seems that the new modern idea of "freedom of expression" is killing it.

Point is "Uniforms is Okay, but they need to make it more "fashionable" and make it comfy enough that no one start complaining about them 24/7"

Sounds like a pretty bad expensive requirement.

Got through school wearing most whatever I liked, or bothered to throw on in the morning.

I like the theory for uniforms, especially at schools with a lot of bullying and/or gangs. The problem is the other schools that doesn't have that, in those cases it seems to me that they are more of a problem then a solution.

I wouldn't mind wearing a uniform if it was decent looking and comfortable, too bad most of them are not even close to either.

SAILOR SEIFUKU? = nagato, always wearing

I had to wear one for most of my life... catholic, all-girls school from k-12. Got to wear what we chose in HS, but I totally should have grasped the sex appeal in middle school... sadly I didn't take great care of my looks so well at that time.
DAMN. D;

Honestly I think it should be a requirement for all schools (public and private) to have uniforms for kids once you get into middle school. Having worked in a Middle and High School during my early college years I saw kids who wear all sort of crap. Girls having underwear showing, small skirts that not even strippers would wear, guy's who pants were so baggy they would fall down. The fact that it seems some kind of clothes are "status" symbols for kids. The stealing and beating kids for what clothes they were.

If you had uniforms those problems would be fixed a lot plus to me it would keep the problem kids out of school. If they refused to wear a uniform, then they refuse to go to school so why bother with them. Oh and before you say "go to the parents", they are worst someones and don't care. That is the problem we have is the parents don't give a rats ass (well, a rat does). If I had one, it would be a good thing, I would wear it since I wouldn't have to worry about what to wear everyday at school. However, I never have had to wear one but for cosplaying and I would have loved to wear one during my high school days since everyone else is the same.

Standard fare here. When you look at US schools (as much as I realise they're caricatured in the media), you'd have to say that uniforms throughout school life appear to diminish stereotypes and bullying. Sure, my group of friends were pretty much nerds, but not all stereotypically, girlfriendlessly so, and among all the other groups of friends I genuinely never could distinguish a common denominator.

So yeah, in my mind, the lack of distinction in appearance seems to actually get people talking and forming otherwise unlikely friendships. Plus having no clue about fashion, I think I always reasoned that they were better anyway. :P

The school I went to made us have to wear the schools t-shirts. What sucked was that these shirts were expensive and they were quite thin. Being a guy i have no problem seeing girls wear these. As a dude I like wearing thick clothes.

Anyway my thouhts on school uniforms is...

unbiased. I dont care either way. I dont like HAVING to wear it but I think it would be a nice option. Also in Ficitional stories it makes a good little tidbit, if you know what I mean.

As long as the uniform is comfortable to wear, I don't mind.

Can you imagine if this was your school uniform:



Those of you who wore uniforms, was anyone proud of their school's collective identity? I think a comfortable, sharp-looking uniform with school-specialized colors might have made me really proud of my school.

We were red and black, I wish we could have worn black with red pinstripes and gotten the girls blood-red lipstick, and maybe the teachers could be forced to humiliate themselves with school-colored shutter shades at the end of each month or something.

Couldn't have cared less either way.

My school attempted to have uniforms a few years ago, before I had even hit high school. (So like 2003) But it got shot down.

Truthfully, I woulda prefered them.

I dont know what I would do without my many band shirts! I gotta say that uniforms have positives and negatives, the main reason I hate them is because I feel that it would limit my individuality. The only thing I would have on me that would be customizable would be my hair, the way I button up my shirt, and how loose/tight my pants are...sounds pretty boring to me. I like my colors and without them the world would feel too dull.

same here... uniforms are fine as long as they don't give you rashes when summer comes...
