I don't think so. A lot of the elementary schools already have dress codes, so they don't need uniforms.

Tammy from Akron

I think uniforms in schools are a great idea. This way students won't be picked on, and won't have to stay up with fashion. It will be less out of our pockets, too.

I'm a mother with 3 students in the Cleveland schools, they are concentrating on the wrong thing. What they need to concentrate is keeping these students out of the cold and keep them in for recess and attendance.

Sara from Cleveland

I think no, because clothes show your uniqueness, I don't think so.

Cheryl from Cleveland

I think the uniforms are ok, but they should also have some days where they can have dress down or casual days.

Cindy from Euclid

Yes, I think uniforms are a great idea, and they should do it in Euclid too.

I agree with the uniforms. It certainly would cut down on the rediculous way some of these children look when they go to school. Shame on some of these parets. No it won't educate a child any better. But quite frankly it's up to the child to apply themselves to do that. I also don't feel the school system should have to pay for these either. Catholic and Christian schools have had uniforms forever. Even some public schools at the minimum had gym uniorms. All at the parents expense. I think it's just a way to get rid of the childrens unappropriate dress in school.

I went to private school and I think that was one of the best things. I always knew what I was wearing to school and it made my morning faster. When having uniforms it was cheaper because we didn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on new cloths at the beginning of the year. Kids grow out of cloths so fast; the school even had a lightly used uniforms sale.

Its fascinating that when we attempt to make a positive change in the school system to begin some type of "regiment" and progression, people have to come up with concerns. The average person will save money on purchasing more clothing for school. Plus, lets remember that there are probably gov't dollars and programs out their that will help the less fortunate purchase these uniforms. Books and things inside the classroom are in fact needed, but we can't work outside the budget. Give this new CEO an "A" for making progress! We need more positive things to come from change!

I don't see whats wrong w/ allowing our kids to wear what they want, w/in reason of course...
