School Dress Code:
Formals or Casuals?
A much-debated topic, school
uniforms for children as an issue has never been settled. Some people prefer
casual clothing instead of school uniforms, while some think uniforms are
necessary to maintain equality amongst children from diverse backgrounds. Consequently,
we conducted a poll to understand the people's sentiment about the same. Out of
the 2,599 respondents we asked, 60.87% of them are staunch supporters of
uniform as it brings more discipline to a student's life. 13.70% of them think
casual dressing should be adopted in schools as we should let kids be. 13.08%
take a stand between these two opposing stances as they feel the dress code
should be a mix of both during the week. 9.77% of them feel uniforms should be
made compulsory till junior high and then senior high should have casual
clothing. A small set of respondents (2.58%), however, don't care about the
subject at all.
