Our oldest daughter won the 3rd 9-week Jefferson Elementary school-wide writing contest. It had to be a letter of complaint. Hmmm....Should I be concerned that she won a letter of complaint writing contest? LOL. By the way, her school has a uniform dress code. So enjoy "Trouble with Uniforms".
Dear Mr. Page:
You should really end the rule that says that we must wear uniforms. There are some wonderful reasons why this rule should end, and you will certainly agree after you read this.
One reason this rule positively must be put to an end is that public schools should certainly be more like other places. For example, you don't have to wear a polo shirt to Wal-Mart.
The next reason the uniform rule should absolutely end is that we only want to wear the clothing we like. To explain, no kid wants to wear only the certain styles that a bunch of grown ups pick out. It is also true that we express our selves best by the way we look. A football fan might want to express itself with a favorite team shirt. A person who likes red and green could express him or herself by their favorite colors being worn on the same shirt.
Above all, uniforms should certainly stop because we could be cleaner. For example, we don't have clean uniforms in our closet every morning. A student might have to wear the same filthy clothing they wore yesterday. We also sweat a lot in thick, hot cloth. We can't always find and buy thin material shirts.
As you can see, the uniform rule is not important. I have plenty of wonderful reasons why it should positively end. You must, absolutely stop uniforms. Please consider this urgent request.
Sincerely,
LBL
When she wrote it, she didn't relize that it was the parents, not the principal, who voted to keep the kids in uniforms. But she did a good job, even though she did "air some dirty laundry." Chuckle-chuckle!
