School uniforms idea is added to review of dress code in Worcester

WORCESTER - In addition to the movement to review the region's dress code by school board members, committee member Brian O'Connell will consider the possibility that school officials will wear school uniforms at urban schools on Thursday I suggested.

The committee member Molly McCullough first asked for a reexamination of the dress code to decide whether it is necessary to update the part to study further at Thursday night's conference, the governance and standing committee of the staff .

Mr. O'Connell also requested the government to recommend whether to develop student uniforms and associated unified policies. He said that such arrangements are voluntary, which means that the school can not technically make students wear uniforms, but they wear them and cultivate culture You can be encouraged.

This idea was seen by the school committee in the past, but he said that the current situation may become such policy interest today.

Mr. O'Connell believes that the example of an area that adopts a unified policy - he quoted Long Beach in California, in particular - provides evidence that uniforms can help school climates.

"It certainly promotes order and promotes good behavior," he said. In addition, if students wear the same thing, the continuing challenge of more relaxed school uniforms policies will be "basically resolved".

Mr. O'Connell also said that many immigrant students, currently accounting for the majority of school enrollment rates, come from countries where uniforms are common. He said that these students may be better suited for students wearing uniforms in the school environment.

Currently, according to clothing regulations in this area, students can wear what they choose to attend school, with a few exceptions. In particular, forbid short or exposed clothing, including Lily Chisholm, elementary school eighth grade at Sullivan High School who sent letters that outlined her suit against recent short-length shorts to school committee members Some regulations.

At a Thursday's meeting, Mr. Chizem said that he proposed not to suggest revoking clothing rules, but to "change the way clothing rules are implemented". She said that it was fruitful as it was unfair because most of the classrooms were not air conditioned and the students had to stop working because they were wearing shorts.

Mr. McCullough persuaded to include items on Thursday's agenda as part of Mr. Chisholm's argument but stated that many other students and guardians are considering the problem before and after the decision.

She stated that the goal is to "ensure that it is consistent throughout the region" and that the dress code is "up to date and appropriate".

Although the result is not that large, most teachers think that school performance will improve according to the requirements of the school dress. Clothing regulations and uniforms have long been a field of private schools. They know that children are dressing everyday and many parents like this idea because they do not need to worry about buying expensive jeans. Most students do not like this idea. As dressed like other people, there is no room for personal expression, even they are always like very formal dress, girls skirt, boy's ties and jackets.

Many schools choose uniforms from the problem of clothing regulations. Indeed, from 2003 to 2012, uniforms in public schools in the United States increased from 13% to 19%. However, like clothing regulations, not everyone is supporting uniforms, but this has advantages and disadvantages.

Usually, there are no uniforms or clothing regulations. In many private schools, clothing regulations such as "shorts, sandals, no open clothes" are simplified. Several schools are testing uniforms, but these are not as official as the UK. They are mainly made of regular sweaters / shirts and jeans of a certain color, sometimes with school symbols. However, it is a common practice to design graduation shirts at the gymnasium, Realschule, Hauptschule. School usually starts between 7:30 AM and 8:15 AM and can be finished at as early as 12 o'clock; low level classes almost always end before lunch. However, in the upper grades the course in the afternoon is very common, if there is no teacher supervision, there may be a long gap in the time interval.
