Why Do Students And Parents Not Want To Wear Uniform To School?

There are many cons against school uniforms. Many parents and students are against the idea of being forced to wear a uniform to school.  For example, many parents are outraged about the fact that their children have to wear a uniform to school. They are mad that their children are disciplined or sent home because of what they wear. Many students are offended by wearing a school uniform because they feel that it takes away  their individuality.  Some of the most common arguments against school uniforms include the following:
• Uniforms are expensive.
• Uniforms do not teach children how to deal with people who are different than themselves.
• It is impossible to prevent all outside influences and interruptions.
• Children will still ask for and buy designers' clothes for occasions and places other than school.  (Uniforms will not eliminate this problem.)

However, many believe that uniforms teach children that in order to get along and be successful, everyone must conform to the same standards.

I'm at school currently, and I hate my uniform, it's not an outrageous colour or anything, it's black and grey. People say that uniform means children that are less advantaged on the money side are less likely to get picked on. Kids get picked on for loads of different reasons, we will still wear designer labels or what ever outside of school, and many of us see each other outside of school
Also my uniform is ridiculous, we have to wear grey skirts and tights, black or skin coloured, you might think this is warm for winter, but it's not! When it rains the water makes your tights stick to your legs impossibly, it doesn't stop the cold at all.
my school tends to take things a step further, boys when it was in fashion would wear mohicans in their hair. This was banned from our school and classed as ''extreme''. Highlights of a lighter or darker colour are not allowed, not an inch of makeup,  hair must be shorter than a certain length for boys and longer than a certain length for girls. It seems to me like the school is trying to make us all look the same, but this just encourages more rule breaking as the rules are ridiculous and do not effect the way my work is, i don't down grade because i dyed my hair, and as the colour was a natural colour and not a drastic change, it cannot possibly affect the school's reputation.

If u were uniform its hard to see someones personality. Wearing ur own cloths lets u express yourself. Plus i know i dont like uniforms because i always get yelled at for my skirt being to short and my shirt tale hanging out. Its stupid and i get detentions for it. Stupid dress code

I am a student and I love my uniform.I can assure you that I really like wearing it.
I get to wear a very comfortable red jumper with a pretty crest , a colourful  kilt, long red stockings and shiney shoes.So I am glad to wear a uniform.some of my friends dont like it- I personally think that is silly.Our uniforms are beautiful, warm and comfortable, and I like it very much.

We aren't assigned to wear uniforms at school, however, we ARE forced to wear p.e clothes. Which also might be uniform, but I believe the dress codes these days are too strict. They should be a little bit more lenient. We all want to express ourselves some way. For example, I express myself through the clothes, shoes, and earrings, but with uniforms, we won't get to show our diversity! Uniforms ARE expensive. My P.E clothes were 24 dollars in total, when I could've bought a Hollister jacket or shirt! In conclusion, uniforms SUCK.
