Be Free And Don'T Tie The American School Uniform To Fashion.

In the United States, more than half of secondary schools have established the code of dress.

On the one hand, standard dress is conducive to maintaining the order of the campus and improving the quality of teaching.

On the other hand, the school also realized that the relaxed "dress code" can make children happier to come to school.

As more and more schools accept the "dress code", the new semester begins.

The purchase has become an extremely boring task: Polo shirt, khaki trousers and checked shirt.

Just as students complain - boredom.

But fortunately, students have the tradition of challenging authority. They want to be flexible in choosing school uniforms, such as wearing shorts, leggings and yoga pants.

The school not only turns a blind eye to this change, but even allows fashion products to exist openly and openly. "At the beginning, schools do not allow students to wear accessories, but then again, how can you set students to buy shoes of a particular color? This is ridiculous," says Beverly J.Hutton, director of education services at Burlington County Polytechnic.

The secondary school district in New Jersey recently implemented a loose code of school dress code.

Beverly went on to say, "we do not allow Leggings in oral terms, but you know, we can not control it strictly. Some leggings and jeans are no different.

So we have to pick out the color of the stable and simple, and limit the color.

He said, "they are young people.

If we do not allow this, that will not be allowed, no doubt will aggravate their rebellion. "

Retailers welcome this change warmly.

This year, women's Khaki pencil pants and boots trousers were first shown in the list of uniforms of Lands End.

Wool, short coat, leggings and yoga pants are also unexpected.

Another famous school uniform brand French Toast changed the traditional women's polo shirts and shirts to tighter ones, and added the boyfriend's woolen sweater to the new style.

"Campus life has surrendered to fashion," said Matt Buesing, a French Toast campus marketing project worker.

If a female student wears a tight polo shirt, perhaps violating the old school dress code, the school will say, "the public accepts this way, and we agree."

Public schools tend to have a uniform style that is not too revealing and limited in color, and is conducive to narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor in designer clothes and second hand clothing.

Private schools have a tradition of uniformed uniforms for decades.

In 1994, the public school district of Long Beach in California took the lead in emulated private schools, and stipulated uniform dress for pupils and middle school students.

In 1996, Clinton, the then president, urged other public schools to follow the example of the Long Beach school district. He thought that "uniform wearing school uniform is conducive to reducing violence, truancy and disorder, thus improving the quality of teaching."

According to the latest survey by the US Department of education, by the 2009-2010 academic year, public schools were unified.

The proportion increased from 12% in the 1999-2000 academic year to 18.9%, while the number of schools that set the "dress code" was more than half.

Lincoln High School in Indianapolis allowed girls to wear leggings, polo shirts and body vests.

Ruby Luke, the logistics finance director of the school, believes that the more relaxed dress policy brings optimistic consequences for the decline in classroom interference. Teachers do not have to drive students out of the classroom and ask them to comply with the rules and change their fancy clothes.

She said, "the children are happier, and almost no one is passing the new dress code again."

But sometimes, even in the face of loose dress codes, students' rebellious nature will not converge.

Houston's Briarmeadow Charter school relaxed the dress restrictions this year and allowed leggings to appear, but Andie Alexander, grade eight, was still in trouble.

Andie, 13, said: "when I learned that we could wear leggings in class, I ran to the store and bought a lot of color exaggerated styles - fluorescent violet, violet, fluorescent green, blue-green, red and yellow."

On the first day of school, Andie wore Polo uniforms and jackets, and second days wore a pair of red and knee socks. On Wednesday, the Old Navy Shorts were paired with a sparkling leggings.

"My physiochemical teacher looked at my blue green leggings and said," this is not enough, "she recalls.

I refute her that the new dress code does not contain this ban.

On Thursday, her green Leggings aroused complaints from her math teacher.

Andie ran to the principal's office and asked the principal: "the school allows students to wear warm Leggings in winter to attend classes. Why not allow us to enjoy this right in the high temperature of 40 degrees?" in order to comply with the new dress code, the principal allowed students to wear leggings all year round, but not including fluorescent colors.

Without risk, there will be no type.

Andie said, "one of my friends said that the fashion style I had in the past few days was" wow ", but I thought it was ironic.

In 2006, the management of Martin Ruud Kim middle school in Sherlock asked students to take part in the design of school uniforms to soothe their rebellion.

"Rather than forcing them to abide by the rules, it is better to let the practitioners of rules participate in the formulation of rules, so that school uniforms sell better and students are willing to cooperate."

Janet Moss, a school assistant, said, "of course, the uniforms designed by students themselves are more fashionable than the uniforms we have made for them."

The old school uniform is the signature blue jacket of Carolina with khaki trousers.

And the new school uniform styles include Capri pants, polo shirts, black T-shirts and skirt pants.

Of course, many of the fashions are still listed on the list of "no clothes".

Another school assistant, Angela Richardson, said, "the flip flops are absolutely out of order. We ask students to control the desire to wear flip flops and thin heels."

For some schools, the "yes" in fashion is more of a compromise on the actual situation rather than an initiative in the dress code.

Orlando's Jewish college only allowed students to wear simple Khaki Shorts, and later relaxed the restrictions.

"Many parents complain that their children can't buy shorts except for their style of work, so the school has to relax restrictions," said Jerri Kaye, Secretary of the school's primary and secondary school.

We do not want to be too strict to set up an impossible task for parents.

St. John Vianney, a Catholic school in Conswe, Brookfield, once allowed students to wear tight bottompants under school skirts in winter.

Karen Price, a student parent, said, "where do I sell bottom pants for Grade 7 students? I have to put the lattice pyjamas under their school uniforms, and listen to the children come in and complain," Mom, it's too cold. "

Recently, the school announced that the pyjamas were unsuitable for dress codes and allowed fashionable yoga pants to take the place of them.

Garment manufacturers are responding to the new needs of students, and the fashionable fashionable uniforms are springing up.

Charlene Alpay, vice president of marketing at French Toast, said: "we use the new Lycra fabric to make basic Polo shirts.

Lycra fabric can highlight the body curve, more compact and feminine, and is very popular among female students.

For a long time, school uniforms have taken a simple route, trying to avoid the two words that are "sexy".

Now, students want to highlight their personalities. No one wants to be absent from the crowd.

However, students' enthusiasm for improving uniforms is only maintained to a certain extent.

Melissa Dunlap, the president of Martin Ruud Kim high school, said: "students will also complain about the new dress code, and I told them that the school has made great concessions and changes.

We also sent explanatory letters to parents, employees and management.

"We haven't found a suitable school uniform manufacturer," she said. "The business with us will usually say," Er, it looks like a big project. "
