AThank goodness, we don’t have to wear uniforms at my school now, but when I was at elementary school, I had to wear an awful navy blue jacket; I hated it more than anything else. I don’t think I’d like it if they made us wear uniforms now, but I can see some good points, too. There would be far less showing off, and the girls who can’t afford fancy clothes would feel much better.BWe had to wear uniform until last year. It was horrible. You should be able to wear things you feel comfortable in. And all this talk about covering up the financial differences is rubbish. If you have a lot of money, it shows whatever you’re wearing.CI really don’t know… When I was Sandra’s age, I never complained about my uniform, I just took it for granted I had to wear one. Now it’s completely different. Sandra spends hours on end choosing her clothes before she leaves in the morning. I sometimes think it would be easier and definitely much cheaper if she just had one skirt and cardigan for school use.DThe school where I work is uniform-free. I’m sure that the freedom to choose their own clothes allows young people to express their personalities more fully. I’m happy I had the same chance when I was a student. I went to a small village school, and we had no uniforms there.
