Uniforms

by: Keiara Keene

 

Everyone that goes to Harmony Leland knows the school’s uniform dress code. Everyone knows that there are only certain colors that the students can wear as their uniform colors. But do you think that if we had more colors to chose from, and wear as a uniform color, everyone would want to wear them? Maybe if we had colors like light purple and orange students might be encouraged to wear them. What do you think? Well, I asked three other questions to nine other students to find out what they think.

First, I asked,” Do you like school uniforms and why?” Lester Ruffin responded,” No, because it seems like we wear the same colors everyday!” Iyana Joseph and Caitlin Johnson both agreed that uniforms are plain and it seems like we wear the same thing everyday. They also both agreed that if they were a little more colorful, they might want to wear them even more.

            Then, I asked,” Do you agree that we should wear uniforms?” Marlow Roberson replied,” No because we have our own clothes and the uniforms don’t look good.” “No, because uniforms are boring and don’t let students express their feelings.” said Kayla Jenkins. Darrell Bridges said,” I don’t think so because of the colors.”

            Then, I asked, “Do you think we should have more days like Friday, when we don’t have to wear uniforms?” Torria Rollin responded, “Yes because most students don’t like wearing them.” “Uniforms aren’t fun and if they were fun school would be fun.” said Jordan Newell. Destinea Okafor also said “Yes because most of the students at Harmony Leland do not like wearing the uniforms.”

            Lastly, I asked some of the teachers what they think of the uniforms and they disagreed with the students. I asked “Do you think we should the students at Harmony Leland should continue wearing uniforms?” I asked three teachers that question; Mrs. Grizzle, Mrs. Salley, and Mrs. Chitwood.  Mrs. Salley and Mrs. Chitwood both agreed and said yes because the students will focus on school work and not their clothes. Mrs. Grizzle said.” I think we should keep uniforms because it creates unity within the school and children focuses on school work instead of fashion.”  So, what do you think about uniforms? Just leave a comment!
