No more uniform for Seniors?
April 22, 2019
After 10 years District 201 decides to get rid of uniforms –but only for seniors.
School uniforms are traditionally favored by private and parochial schools in the U.S. are now in favor of having students wear uniforms. In the 2015-2016 school year, about one in five public schools in the US are requiring students wear uniforms. In a recent study, uniforms being required in public schools are most common in high poverty areas. It is said that uniforms make schools safer, makes students focus more, and reduces socioeconomic differences. In reality, school uniforms have no real effect on behavior, academic achievement, and it violates student’s rights to express their individuality. In a random survey of 120 Morton students, 100 of them agreed on having the District get rid of uniforms because they are useless and they don’t have much impact on anybody.
“I didn’t think they would ever change the uniform rule to a non-uniform rule for the seniors,” senior Adan Ortiz said.
Morton District decide to begin the uniform rule in 2008 because of the clothing line of the early 2000s.
“With the uniform policy I never got to express my style of clothing,” senior Stephanie Ortega said.
Some students would like an opportunity to express their style and others don’t seem to mind.
“It doesn’t matter if there are uniforms or not,” senior Anthony Figueroa said.

I found the article believable because uniforms do actually keep us safe and organized which is easy for staff to identify us but I question why only seniors get to be out of uniform I feel we should all be able to express ourselves not just seniors.

One thing I find believable is that school uniform makes schools safer, students focus more and reduces socioeconomic differences. One thing that is questionable is why doesn’t Morton 201 change the uniform policy. I probably wouldn’t believe this because it’s hard to believe that Morton will do this

School uniforms are traditionally favored by private and parochial schools in the U.S. its my believable . My question is when they would start having seniors without uniform. I would have believe it if they would make it more popular to Facebook.

Very good article! One thing I found believable was what the students were saying about how maybe the seniors were saying that people can’t really express their individuality which is sort of true because since we all have to wear the same colors you don’t really get to see what other people true colors are I guess. One thing that is questionable is that they would only make senior not use uniforms because that’s just kind of weird that they would only let seniors. I probably wouldn’t have believed this because it’s kind of hard to believe that Morton would let seniors not have to wear uniforms but not the other grades it just doesn’t seem believable enough for me.
