School Uniforms?Think Again!
金杯银杯斟满酒
At Tuesday’s meeting of the school committee,Superintendent Rusll made his position clear.He wants the children in our city’s public schools to wear school uniforms.“Uniforms make life easier for families,”he said.Parents do not have to decide what kind of clothes to buy for school.And,it’s easier to get ready for school each day.“Uniforms help children feel better about themlves,”he added. Children from families in need wear the same clothes as children from rich families. Uniforms make it easier for children of different backgrounds to make friends.
His suggestion sparked a lively debate.Two committee members,Stan Oakley and Mae Stokes,said they thought it was a good idea.Mr.Oakley suggested that the schools would look much neater.Children’s behavior might even improve.
Others were not so sure.“Is there a problem now?”asked Gary Washington.“I wasn’t aware that this was an issue.”
Indeed,what is the issue?What problem is our superintendent trying to solve? Would children really feel better about themlves if they had to wear clothes that someone el picked out?Americans like to express themlves through their clothes.Uniforms can crush creativity.Paying for uniforms might be hard for some families.They would have to pay for the uniform no matter what it costs. Then they would need to buy other clothes for their children to wear outside of school.

Mr.Rusll has asked the school committee to vote for his plan.Clearly,this city is not ready to make a decision yet.We need more information.The school committee should interview students,parents,and teachers in towns that have

What about him?He ud his fork to play with his piece of birthday cake.He finished his cake and sat there.No one was looking at him.No one cared what he was doing.Fine!He thought.If no one cares,then I can do what I want.He got up and poked a balloon with his fork.POP!
“Mark,stop that.”Mother said quickly.
POP!He did it again.
“MARK!”Mother shouted.
Grandpa looked at him.A look crosd his face,and Grandpa came over to take him by the shoulder and lead him to the kitchen.“Sit down.”He ordered,pointing to a chair beside the kitchen table.
Mark sat down and crosd his arms.He expected to get yelled at.Instead, Grandpa sat down next to him.
