School Uniforms

Dear Mr. Ron Johnson,

Do you know someone who goes to a school where you have to wear uniforms? Are they ugly or are they hideous? At my old school I had to wear a uniform. I hated it! My uniforms had to be red, white or blue collared shirts and khaki pants or a skirt or a jumper. The uniforms were so hideous. This is why I think uniforms should be banned from every school in Wisconsin. There are many reasons schools should not have uniforms such as it helps creativity and also people wouldn't know your style if you are wearing an uniform.

Uniforms are scrofulous and really boring. I don't know about you but I look forward to picking out my outfit in the morning to picking out my outfit. If you can't pick out your clothes in the morning then people can't see your style. If people can't see your style then people could portray you wrong. Like if you have to wear the same type of clothes as everyone else then you don't go shopping with your friends and have as much fun as we do at Asa Clark Middle School in Pewaukee. Have you ever looked at just really ugly clothes and say “wow I would never wear that”, things like that make me vexed! I go to ACMS and we do not have a uniform but as I said before my old school had uniforms. My old school was such an epoch in my life and I think it would have been way better without uniforms! I am not saying that schools should not have dress codes but I think we should be able to wear anything we want within reason. Besides not showing your style, if you wear uniforms you don't get to use creativity. Creativity is a huge factor in life. If you work for a business that sells anything and you don't have any creativity you will most likely not keep your job very long. Picking out outfits in the morning or at night helps gain creativity. Also almost all uniforms are really ugly. My uniforms at my old school were hideous. They were frumpy and very unflattering. I know boys do not care as much about clothes as girls do but I am just asking you to please think about this.

Uniforms are unsightly and don’t let you show your style, that’s why I think they should be banned from all schools in Wisconsin. When I get older I want to be a fashion designer, and people like me would never have the chance to pick out clothes in the morning if I had a uniform. I would always try and make everything look better but my school had so many restrictions I couldn’t. Have you ever thought about uniforms? How ugly or how people can't do anything in them. Again I am not saying there should not even be a dress code but just please let us wear things that we picked out not what the school administrators want us to wear. I feel it is unfair! As I conclude I want to say that I would love for you just to think about my idea. Almost all uniforms are ugly and very frumpy.

Sincerely,
Madison Giordano
