The wearing of uniforms is a greatly discussed issue, especially since we now know that it is a distinct possibility the London District Separate School Board will adopt a uniform policy in the coming years. Uniforms will give our school a more mature and serious look, as well as projecting a positive image to the community. Uniforms will instill a sense of pride and discipline in students, and promote a sense of respect and security. School is a place to learn. Many students take advantage of class time as a time to goof off and talk with friends. If you were in uniform, you might start to treat teachers with the respect they deserve. You might even begin to treat fellow students and yourself with that same respect that is so lacking in our schools today. Just as you act mature when you dress up to go to a semi-formal dance, dressing in a uniform every day will force us to act like adults. You might say that you don’t want to dress the same as everyone else every day. Well, you won’t have to. Uniforms have more options than you may think. There are kilts, pants, shorts, blouses, dress shirts, rugby shirts, golf shirts, sweaters and cardigans.
