School Uniforms

        I dont think wearing uniforms is bad. I do have complaints like the dress code now is plain. last year we was able to wear blue, red or gray polo shirts with khaki pants which gave us more different combinations of attire.  Now the polo's could only be gray and its kind of boring. I think the dress codes are necessary because students will come to school in clothing that's not appropriate for a learning environment.
         i think with the dress code the teachers or staff shouldn't have to complain about why a student have on shirts with to much cleavage showing or shorts to small. i think the students are following the dress code properly. if we want to add something extra to our uniform we should be able to, to show our individual personalities. 
         having everybody dressed the same from head to toe make students feel depressed an no since of individuality. i think the effect of mandatory will keep he school looking better dressed for learning and when it starts getting hot students and the staff don't have to look at a group of students half dressed in the hallways. to improve the school uniform i think we should be able to wear what we want with it such as hoodies, sweaters and cardigans any colors we buy.
