School uniforms have very little to do with liberal pussification. It is about putting the kids in a different mindset. you of all people should know about that, Marine.

Not sure if trolling or serious. Either way when we had to wear uniforms in middle school the #1 reason for them repeated over and over was so that the kids who wore rags wouldnt get made fun of, followed closely by enhancing "school pride and spirit".

Well yeah, I'm sure they didn't try to explain indoctrination concepts to you in middle school. But that isn't the actual reason for school uniforms. Or if it is in some district for some reason, they are doing it wrong.

When you got to boot camp, what was the first thing you actually did? I mean after you got off the bus and the big spectacle thing happened. Uniform issue. The idea is the same. Destroy the image of self and assimilate into the borg.

I know you are smarter than "uniforms because poor people won't sad." I brought up boot camp because I figured that was a something you could easily relate, but maybe you weren't paying attention, or maybe Marine service really is that much different than every other service and they encourage rugged individualism and free expression.

yeah in the 50's all the schools had uniform like dress codes, I get to hear my dad blame the beatles for encouraging kids to grow long hair that started the decline of dress codes in public schools atleast once a year.

Someone needs to inform Japan that they are now considered ultra liberal thanks to their school uniforms.

Grade school "education" is a major contributing factor to the scholastic erosion we see. It's pretty disturbing just how remedial most collegiate level classes are becoming. Of course colleges aren't a good example. Provided there were people willing to pay for it, schools would teach them how to blink.

Oh, please with the school uniforms. My wife teaches middle and high school. Do you know how effing nice it is that she doesn't have to have conversations about skirt length, and how much cleavage is appropriate? It is fantastic that if a young woman has an inappropriately short skirt all she has to say is "uniform infraction," and the whole discussion of "you are dressed like a little whore," doesn't have to happen. Parents can deal with that shit. Teachers should spend their time teaching school material, not preventing whorish dressing. Step up, parents, and do your fucking job.

School uniforms are awesome. This is just one reason why. The whole forced conformity issue is absolutely ridiculous.

I wasn't saying it was a bad thing, in general I think there are a lot more positives than negatives to school uniforms. It just is what it is.

My only problem with school uniforms is its hard to find the button up shirts they require in middle school for my daughter because basically only wal mart sells them and I hate shopping at wal mart.

When I was in middle school, starter jackets and fucking nike basketball shoes like Air Jordan's were all the rage and there was a lot of bullying related to clothing (early 90s) that went on. That's really why they went with the uniform dress code crap. To cut all that nonsense out. It really was a distraction to the schooling, and this way its harder for kids to divide into cliques based on whose parents are making 6 figures plus versus those who are making 5.

Its one of the few things about public school that I thought I would have a problem with but ultimately I don't. It helps maintain some degree of sanity in the relations between the kids in the school. Sounds weird, but kids are superficial as fuck about clothing for some reason.

Uniforms are great for schooling. Should be mandatory across the country. Eliminates a lot of the gang bullshit and all other kinds of squabbling and bullying based on clothing

No heroes allowed: Calgary student, 13, reprimanded for defending his classmate against a knife-wielding bully

fucking pussies in Canada.

While I totally agree with the assertion that zero tolerance removes better judgement from the equation and doesn't work in many situations, I don't think this is one of them.
That bully was just being a bully, he wasn't about to fucking murder the kid in cold blood in the middle of a classroom. That 13 year old didn't save the kid's life, he just got himself involved in a violent scuffle, which I'm pretty sure most schools discourage, and with good reason.
Hell, for any fight you choose to join you can claim to be "defending" someone involved. Doesn't make you a hero.

Yes! Teaching in high schools that don't have a school uniform policy, it's really a pain to have to scan each student up and down as they enter the classroom to make sure they aren't breaking any dress code rules. The baggy pants hanging below the ass is a common one for guys, tights/low-cut tops for girls... Teachers don't want to have to waste several minutes of class time explaining to a student why they need to go change.
Not to mention, as much as students protest uniforms, once the system is in place it's a huge load off their shoulders. No more deciding what to wear, considering if it looks too cheap, if it fits in with what your friends are wearing, etc.

I'm just making sure everyone hasn't hopped on the fucking crazy train here. I dunno what the fuck you guys are talking about, but we wore Iron Maiden and Megadeth shirts to school every day and still managed to get educated...err, I mean "indoctrinated." With education.
