Do you wear school uniforms (制服) at school? Do you like them? In many schools, students must wear (穿) uniforms every day. Ann Rooney is a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl in Hong Kong. In summer, girls in her school wear yellow shirts and blue skirts. And boys wear white shirts, too. But they wear blue shorts. When it’s cold, both girls and boys wear white sweaters and green trousers. They also have blue T-shirts and black trousers for P.E. classes and sports meetings. Ann always wears size S because she is short and thin. Her best friend Lisa Brown wears size L.
But some students don’t like wearing the same uniform every day. Ann has a good idea. She likes to wear different socks every day. “Socks make boring school clothes fun,” she says. Many boys and girls in her school also have socks with different patterns to show their characters (个性). Milly Nichols, 15, is one of Ann’s classmates. Her favorite pair of socks has small pictures of hamburgers on them because she likes hamburgers very much. How about wearing a pair of socks to give some colors to a boring uniform?

【推荐1】At the moment, high school students in the state of Philadelphia, USA, can wear their own clothes. However, next year the high schools must do one of the following:
Either make students buy school uniforms (in other words, all students must wear the same uniforms).
Or say which colors must be worn, but let students buy their own clothes in these colors.
A survey made at Central High School, Philadelphia, showed that most of the students didn’t think that wearing school uniforms was a good idea.
Rachel didn’t like the idea of a uniform in the slightest. “It makes us look like prisoners. Everyone’s different, so why is the school trying to make us all the same?”
Sandra was wearing a brightly-colored shirt with her jeans. “No one else wears a shit like mine,” she said. “I’m the only one, and I like that. I can understand that the school needs a dress standard. It’s a problem if students come to school with their shits open. We all understand that, but no one wants uniform. Even my mom thinks it’s silly.”
Only one student, Ben, said he didn’t mind wearing a school uniform. He said, “I used to wear a school uniform when I lived in Australia for a year. It wasn’t so bad. You can wear a uniform and still be tidy. We used to wear grey trousers, a round-necked shirt and a jacket in blue or green. It wasn’t a problem.”

【推荐3】Should Students Wear Uniforms?
Some schools have a rule saying that students must wear uniforms to class. Now, uniforms have become more common in public schools. Many schools say uniforms catch students’ attention in class. But some students think uniforms are uncomfortable. Should students wear uniforms?
Our magazine asked readers to weigh. They have different ideas and here, two of them share their ideas on it.
• YES!
Yuna Chong, 9, California
Uniforms are as much about safety as they are about a sense of group. Teachers don’t have to worry about losing sight of students at the playground or on a field trip. Also, when kids wear uniforms, they feel like they are part of the same group. I wear a uniform and feel like my school is one big team. I feel included.
Also, when everyone wears the same, you don’t have to worry about how you look. Parents can save money as well! And in the morning, I can save time because I don’t have to think too much about my clothing.
•No!
Sterling Heights, 12, Michigan
I don’t think kids should have to wear uniforms. If students are wearing the same thing, they can’t show themselves. Kids should feel like they can be their own person. They shouldn’t have to match. During school hours, we should also be comfortable.
If we feel uncomfortable in our uniforms, we can’t learn very well. For many, it can’t be more uncomfortable to be in a uniform all day. Next, parents have to go shopping and spend a lot of money on the uniforms that we never wear at home.
What is your idea about it? Do you wear uniforms when you go to school every day? Write to our students’ magazines and voice your ideas!
