Dear Superintendent O’Malley

          “I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of mind”, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This states that everybody has the freedom to do whatever they feel and think. Uniforms are a symbol of school spirit. They also allow a student to worry about work and not fashion. So should uniforms be used in all schools? Students shouldn’t have to wear uniforms to school every day. Uniforms hold someone back from showing their personality, having different styles in schools, and showing their creativity.

          First, people won’t be able to show their creativity with uniforms. If everyone wore uniforms then they would all look the same and not be able to tell how different people are that much. Also someone would have no clue o what type of person someone is because they look the same as others with different personalities. A personality may come from how you work but it mostly comes from what kind of person you are and how you show it. This clearly shows how not having the ability to show your personality is a bad thing to people.

          My next reason is that schools won’t be able to show different styles in uniforms. Everybody would have to have the same style if they are all wearing the same uniforms. They would also not be able to show how they are all unique individuals. A school with a lot of school spirit and a school that shows unity is great, but schools with different styles and in a way diverse is the school that is probably going to be more preferred. As you can see schools with different types of styles stand out next to ones with uniform.

          My last reason is that people won’t be able to show their creativity. People use creativity when they are choosing which clothes they want to wear and if you take that away from them they will be losing a chance to use their creativity. If people aren’t using creativity they might lose their creative mind and not show it when a time comes to use it. Even though they have to worry about work, they should still worry about creativity because it is a wonderful gift. It would be a real problem if you take away the creativity of a person.

          I conclusion, people should not have to wear uniforms to school. Uniforms prevent people from showing their personality, have different styles I school, and show their creativity. As you can see, uniforms would easily change schools and people I a negative way.

                                                          Sincerely,
