Journal #30: School Uniforms

School uniforms would be an awful idea for Pleasant Plains High School. School uniforms are usually only required at private schools where they attempt to take your individuality and crush it into tiny little pieces then take those tiny little pieces and crush them into little molecules and take those little molecules and crush them up into little protons and neutrons and electrons, and finally take those and smash them up into tiny little quarks. So yeah uniforms are bad because they cause conformity and strip students of their individuality causing them to lose their full capability of doing whatever it is they are doing. I would bet money that at Private schools where kids are forced to wear uniforms for their daily lives had lower test scores than kids who are allowed to dress however they want when they attend school. School uniforms cause children to act similar to all of their other peers and lose their capability of individual thought and they aren't able to perform as well as those children who are not forced to wear uniforms at their school. You also have the issue of cost for families who are not as wealthy as their peers. For some families it would be difficult for them to buy several sets of uniforms as well as their clothes for after school so cost would be an issue for families when it comes to uniforms being required for schooling. My final point is just what is the reason behind uniforms? I don't get them they just don't make sense. It confuses me that you would want all these kids just walking around in the same exact clothes instead of clothing that really reveals their personality or cool little things that you would not be able to find out about them when they are wearing just your boring and bland school uniform that makes them look just like everyone else. Those are my thoughts on uniforms.
