As a mom I say that if schools want to enforce the idea of students wearing uniforms I agree. As Steve said yes that would be a good idea now with these bad times. I personally struggle to keep my house payments up to date because both of my bosses have cut down my work hours and the idea of uniforms would help my save money because I don’t have to buy so much clothes for school.

I actually believe this would be a good idea just for the fact that it can help save alot of money especially now in these times. Most students don’t want to just wear any regular clothes. They want to wear clothes that most other students won’t have and maybe even get singled out for that reason.

I believe that we should wear uniforms just because of the fact that it would help families save money and it would also reduce the amount of gang related colors on campus. Also it will reduce the amount of bullying twords other students that may not have the best of clothed.

i don’t agree with anyonee.
i do not think school uniforms is a good idea.
i don’t think taking away someoes individuality is smart.
don’t you think that kids will still judge each other, despite the circumstances.
i mean, there is always a way.
they probably judge how freakin’ white their white shirt or something. :p
thats all.
but remember, just think about loosing kids originality!

I’m a Skyline student and I’m embracing the uniform idea. This policy would reduce the time my brother takes to get ready and as well as clearing up my mind in the morning for more important things instead of trying to decide what outfit to wear. I have friends that get up at 6am and have to spend an hour picking an outfit out. I even have friends that spend hours at night before they go to bed, planning outfits.

Personally, I find anything clean and throw it on. But I’m sure 99.99% of the Skyline community are the complete opposite of me. I just hope they don’t make us wear the polos that the teachers have to wear on certain days.

However, I do believe Skyline should focus on the drugs, violence, and academics of our school before they work on the appearance of our school.

I am a alumi of Skyline CO/02 and I think that enforcing a uniform policy wouldn’t work. I don’t necessarily think it won’t bring a change but I don’t think it will work. Mainly for the fact that you’ve had students who’s been there for 3 years and won’t want to switch to uniforms the’re senior year. High school is when student get to express there creativity and personality and is the beginning of a life with more responsibility. Taking away there freedom of expression through dress won’t help in any way. This will only change the schools visible apperance by making it look like a private Catholic school like Bishop O’Dowe, St. Elizabeth’s, St. Josephs etc. It’s time to stop making window treatment changes in our public school and go deeper and look a the curriculum and so called teachers.

There is no way the school can enforce students to wear uniform yet along get them to wear them. Its near impossible to tell teenagers what to wear. To be honest, its Oakland and do you really think that they will actually listen to the admins and wear uniforms? I think not. It should be a students option to let them wear what ever they want. Most students all ready have uniform..its called T-Shirt and jeans. If the admins can’t face the fact that its NEVER going to work, go on and do something that will actually help the school other than tell what the students should be wearing and not wearing. By the way, if we can’t even get some students to wear PE uniforms for just an hour of class, how would admins get the WHOLE school to wear them for the WHOLE school day? Its impossible and if it does, I’ll bow down to Ms.Green and be her slave. But 99.9% chance that it won’t work, so don’t it bother trying.

I’m a senior at Skyline and this is the first time I heard about this. If Ms.Green continues being principal at Skyline, uniforms wouldn’t be the problem anymore. Hiring more teachers will be the problem and Skyline will be more chaotic than it is this year. So to Ms.Green, HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK…because you will need it.
