Uniforms.

[nachtspiegel]

At your school, are you required to wear them?

[Atonement]

We have no uniforms, but we are able to be asked to change by teachers. If they see fit or that our clothing is inappropriate (short short skirts or open muscle shirts with cut down side). They can ask us to change. But its a dress code, not a uniform system

[theOperaGhost]

No. There was a 'dress code' but it didn't really amount to much...just nothing offensive.

And you guys can't were cut offs that with big open sides? wow...we could.

We don't wanna smell your stinky arm pits Jared :P
jk lol

Just like most high schools, or most around here, there's no uniform and the dress code is just nothing offensive, simple :]

[MisterAndrews]

I had to in Primary and Secondary... as do most 4-16 year olds in England. Apparently it stops people from lower income beckgrounds being picked on because of their clothes. I agree with it... i cant stand bullying.

[Zephyr]

Never had to wear them.
A few years ago in high school,
A large group of students were trying to make uniforms mandatory,
"Because casual clothes put us into social cliques due to money and individuality."
Thank god our superintendent was awesome and didn't go for it at all.

[Requin]

I think most american schools don't have uniform, most, in fact I think all british schools have them...as the vampire said, it's good as it stops people from a lower income being emmbarassed about having poorer made clothes.

But yes obviously I have one, but it's not too bad, it's pretty crap actually, jumper shirt no tie, trousers and SHOES! Must be shoes, no trainers or anything, if you wear trainers at my school you get given gym shoes to wear...(very painful)

Ours is stricter lol

No tank tops. NOt just spageti straps, no TANK tops. gotta wear a shirt.


Meh, i don't care too much. it keeps girls from comming in looking like a total slut, and guys from coming in near shirt-less.


Skirts must go past your fingertips [so should shorts, but that's not enforced]
no sharp spikes
no chains [not inforced]
no tank tops or 'muscle shirts'
nothing "overly tight" [go figure what that means]
no underpants showing [yeah, like that one's inforced. i want to pull these guy's pants down to point out they need a fucking belt]

"the vampire"... i like that lol. I can beat your crappy uniform!

Black trousers and shoes (No boots or heels)
Navy blue Round neck sweater
Then either a: light blue, dark green, bright yellow or bright red polo shirt!!!! (depending on your house)

HOW LOVELY!!!!

[Requin]

My uniform is:
-A Dark Blue Jumper with school logo
-A White polo shirt with collar and logo
-Black trousers
-Shoes (Anything resembling trainers will be sent to reception and told to wear gym shoes)

Rules:
NO Trainers
NO Jewellery at all (Yes none)
NO Make-up

Some teachers inforce this, others don't...but they are the rules. :-(

[AutumnDae]

No uniform for us. Just a dress code.

[Patchy]

Yes, most schools in my city require uniform, we're not a private school.

Don't mind it too much, but its a pain sometimes.

[MoveAlong]

No. Yay :D

Thats true in a sense but even if they have uniforms, there'd still be cliques and people would still have lots or not a lot of money lol

Just saying :]

[Cindex]

We have a dress code here. Lots of rules. No tank tops spaghetti straps, certain length shorts, shirts exposing skin between shorts and the shirt. Lot of other stuff I can't remember.

The only ones that are really enforced are ones about being offensive.. US by the way

[Antares]

We have dress code rules but we have no official uniform.
I would love to have them.

[Cindex]

I would love to have them.

May I ask...

WHY?!

[Neverender]

My school, there were people lobbying for school uniforms. but, as luck would have it, it became -40 (and an ultimate low of -56, + windchill) outside and since everyone walks to school, the idea was scrapped.

but the dress code is nothing vulgar, racist or druggy. and nothing too revealing; but spaghetti straps are aloud, lots of stuff is. and if your skirt is less then 10'' then you cant wear it.

[pizzamon]

I had an uniform in elementary. I was actually for it then because I hated finding something for school in the morning. As the years go on people aren't following it. Once I left and went to middle and now high school only dress codes.

[Whisper]

Ive never seen schools with uniforms except in Victoria they have a ton of private schools
They're all uniforms

[girlygirl]

my uniform has to be the worst ever !

i have black trousers
white shirt with green and burgandy tie
black and gold jumper
and a burgandy blazer

its so awful all the colours clash ! grr

i live in uk btw

[MisterAndrews]

As the years go on people aren't following it.

People didnt follow it??! At our secondary you couldnt stay in school without the correct uniform. At the primary where i work we have to send pupils without correct uniform to the heads office at the brginning of the day.... Its brutal!!

[AutumnDae]

I would love to have a school uniform.

I would have to worry about finding something to wear and stuff. Lots of times, people's clothes are distracting. I mean there was a girl in my English class who sat near me and she wore NEON shirts almost everyday, and it distracted me. A uniform would eliminate that.

[Camazotz]

girl;413206']Ours is stricter lol

I have the same dress code.

[nameitnom]

They threatened us in elementary school because are test scores were to low but they never got them and they don't have them in my high school.:)

[Gumleaf]

yep. we wear uniforms. guys wear a white shirt and grey pants or shorts. girls wear a white blouse and a navy blue skirt with a dark pattern on it.

[Halibut]

no we jsut wear our regular clothes but we do have rules to what we can wear. if we wear a skirt it has to be t the length of my fingertips or longer. and bras cannot be showing! and obviously nothing see through

[baibai130]

Yeah, the downside is that everybody looks the same + I don't like green or white. The upside is that nobody can actually judge you on your clothing.

[Capote]

When I attended elementary and middle school, I was required to wear uniform at all times. In addition, if a student did not have his or her uniform on, that student would get detention. It was horrible; however, I am very glad to say that I am now a college kiddo. I don't need to worry about stinking uniforms.:P

[Aηdy]

Yes, when I was at school the dress code was pretty strict:



White shirt
Black & white striped tie
Black plain jacket
Black trousers
Black socks
Black shoes
No piercings other than one stud in each ear
Scarves, gloves, other items of clothing not allowed inside of school
Jackets not allowed to be taken off unless told to

Edit: It sucked and I hated it!

[tjs1]

I go to a prep school, so I have to wear a tie and sports coat every day..it sucks!

[AllThatIsLeft]

gah i wear uniform, the shit is EXPENSIVE! :
White Golf-Shirt or Blouse
Red Vest or Sweater.
Black Pants that can't be tight (everyone breaks this one XD )
Black shoes,
black sucks
a kilt that is hideous.
No jackets alllowed, even if it's -30 degrees and you're freezing your balls off.

Obviously, they try to inforce it as much as possible, but if your sneaky (like me) you can break all the rules.

[Techno Monster]

Nope.
But we have to have our student ID's around our necks, I don't mind because it gives me an excuse to wear a neon lanyard :P

[ShatteredWings]

lucky.. we have to wear the school lanyards..

ass-ugly blue, with fucking paw prints on them

[Talia]

I had to wear uniforms at my old school. I went there from 1st to 8th grade so yeah, lots of uniforming. They changed it once or twice but it was basically a plaid skort or gray corduroy pants, and a navy polo shirt with the logo on the left side of the chest.

[PrLatino93]

I go to a public school, but like 2 or 3 years ago, my district introduced uniforms. In middle school, you had to opt out to not where it, and if you didn't and didn't have on your uniform, you got reported, but nothing happened. In my high school, they don't even bother enforcing it, because no one ever wheres it.

[CookieMonster]

I wore uniforms growing up. Now I'm home schooled so no uniform.

[Fusion]

yer u have to in most of Australia but when u get to uni or tafe u get to wear anything u want within reason

[ECGBUnni]

We have a "relatively strict" dress code at my current school. You know the usual. No jeans no über short skirts (though they generally fail on this one) no sneakers, no open backed shoes. You just can't look like you come from the gym or from town basically. But it's not too strictly enforced.

At my old school, yes I had a uniform. It changed between each school stage so to speak. from "smocks" to grey pleated skirts and blazers with ties. So there you go.

Personally, I prefer uniforms, having done both. It stops the "Is it dress code?" debate.

[ladybird]

I had to wear a uniform in junior high school. Now I'm in high school, so I don't have to, but in junior high school I was graduate of student must wear it, although it isn't obligatory in every school, only where the headmaster wants.
For girls it was dark blue tunic and for boys vest (the same colour), both with logo of the school. I'm not against wearing uniforms, but our were awful, ohh, 100% polyester.

[XxScarredxX]

My school has a uniform. A very ugly uniform at that. We have to wear a dark green blazer, white shirt, dark red and dark green tie, black trousers, black shoes and black socks. If we wear anything else as well, we have to remove it. Even if it's in the middle of winter during a thunder storm, we cant wear a coat in case it ruins the look of the uniform.

[ManyPearTree]

Nope but a very strict dresscode

[Perseus]

Ive gone to a school were we had to wear uniforms, I dont care now that I think of it because it stopped sagging.

[TAC1]

Yes everybody has to wear a uniform. From First Year to University....

[mrpenguin]

I've had Uniform from elementry school and if we don't wear uniform then were sent home!

My Uniform consists of:
Boys - Blacky-Bluey Sweatshirt with school logo on, Black-Bluey Polo shirt with school logo on it, Black Trousers and Black Flat School Shoes
Girls - Same as boys except you can wear a skirt but the smallest you can have is up to Knee length
Jewellry - One small pair of studs or hoops that you can fit your little finger into, rings are allowed but not loads of them and you can have a watch.
Make Up and Hair - You can wear all types of make up as long as you don't over do it and hair colour has to be/look natural

[Stark]

Yes we are. The shirt is green with some yellow, with the school logo, and we have to wear gray pants or shorts.

[lavieboheme]

Yes, basically every school wears a uniform here.

For our "normal" uniform we wear a green skirt and a striped blouse, 8, 9 and 10 wear a green tie whilst 11 and 12 wear a maroon tie.

Sport Uniform is Maroon basketball shorts and a half maroon half green collared shirt.

[format]

Our school just got uniforms last year. We can choose between khaki, navy, or black pants, and yellow, white, or black shirts. I'm probably one of the only people happy with having to wear uniforms. It saves me trouble from trying to find something to wear in the mornings. All I have are hand-me-downs.

[Destiny&Desire]

In England, as far as I'm aware most/all schools have a uniform. My school has a strict uniform (we used to be a private school), which is:

. Blazer
. Jumper
. Shirt
. Tie
. Skirt (it's an all-girls school)
. Shoes

And they must all be in a particular colour, and things like shirt and socks MUST be in the school colours. It's all strict.

And they make us tie our hair back (well, sometimes, some teachers aren't really that fussed about it.).

I hate my uniform =]
