School Uniform

The uniform policy is a topic that many may agree and others may dislike. Some of the main issues about the uniform policy are the blue shirts, the white or black shoes, for the men the hair length, and fro the women the policy about the earrings. This uniform also creates a social difference between us and the rest of the society.
The blue shirts are uncomfortable because the cloth itches. You may use a t-shirt inside but it needs to be white or yellow which makes us warm and it isn’t appropriate with the climate we have at Honduras. Opinions may vary because some people might like these shirts. The white or black shoes are the most discussed topic. For us students, it is hard to find shoes of these colors that we really like and would use out of the campus. “This policy is used to represent the school in Honduras but within us it doesn’t matter,” a student said. The hair policy for boys seems unfair for those that don’t like to have their hair so short. Because of having their hair so long they will receive a detention without having a chance to cut it. The girls also dislike the rule of the earrings and make-up. Some of them like to look good for school but they would receive a detention also. Having one of these uniforms creates like an expectation from people that don’t know us put see our uniform. In most cases if we go out with the uniform to a restaurant for example they would either think that we will cause trouble or behave well.
In my opinion the uniform should be changed to a polo and jeans or just come like in color clothe everyday.. Some people may like them or even doesn’t care about these rules because it doesn’t apply to them but for some others this rules or policies seem unfair and unnecessary. Another thing that would cause changing the uniform is that people outside school won’t classify us as a certain type of people.
