What are some reasons/quotes for a school uniform debate? Click the question and read the details!?
As a parent with several children attending schools with uniform policies, I strongly support school uniforms for many reasons. For documentation on this particular point, try googling Judith Rasband, or her company, Conselle. She has good information on the problems associated with the undressing of America, and she and other personal image consultants have information on the specific messages of various style elements. Judith’s “Style Scale” (on the web in her ed week handout) visually presents a good way to address clothing elements with your child or with another audience without being subjective. Some of her articles also give good reasons for schools to rule out the deconstruction and lingerie-inspired trends, so common today. It seems that an increase in casual sex and sex crimes among students is part of a related trend. (The rest of this is, perhaps, anecdotal or soapbox grandstanding.) Schoolchildren are to be about the business of learning, and their wardrobes are a resource
