Are uniforms forming or corrupting our society ?


Are uniforms forming or corrupting our society ?
           
            In sacramento High School uniforms are believed to be the key part of being a successful person. Uniforms are enstilled to help us dress appropiately for business and job interviews. But, is their a way that people can be over doing uniforms? There has been many rules created about uniforms as far as jelwery and scarf’s and how they are not allowed in the workforce. But, if you ask any working person scarf’s and jelwery are allowed as long as its not religious based. In schools such as Sac High nothing is really alllowed except for your school shirt, dickies, Sac High sweaters and nothing that contains red or blue. In other schools many people believe that uniforms aren’t a good thing. For example, Isaac Grauke states, “Opponents insist that there is no credible evidence that school uniforms improve school discipline or promote higher achievement.” This shows that uniforms can limit some things from happening, but not all. This is because everyones personality or background usually dictates what type of decisions they make. Many others think that uniforms should be in all schools. Another example is, Isaac Grauke also states, “Some say that a child in a school uniform is more likely to take school seriously. Schools report that school uniforms decrease fighting and violence that arise out of arguments over fashionable clothes.” This is because they believe that fashion will cause problems between people and lose the focus of school. But, instead the actual problem is usual caused by outside forces, and the staff not being able to control the enviroment or students just simply not caring about their education. Their was a poll created at Sac High about uniforms and if there is going to be changes how would they feel. Out of 23 students, 15 said they don’t care, 7 said they are againts uniforms,and 1 said that they like uniforms and believe they do make changes in our school. As far as the new implements of the dress code at Sac High in total 23 students voted and 4 said that it does not bother them(mainly seniors, since they won’t be here next year), 19 said they do not agree and wouldn’t like the changes based on the ones we already have now ,and nobody said they want to try out the new ideas. After researching 69.30% of people voted on youdebate.com polls that they don’t believe uniforms improve schools and 30.70% said they do believe uniforms improve schools. What is the next step, with the future of uniforms.
