Uniform Crisis!

On August 24, 2017 rumors were passed around that we were getting uniforms. But then in 2nd Period, Mr. Hoering’s Language Arts class, the rumors were proven true. Mrs. Oak’s delivered the news that Blackhawk Middle School would be getting uniforms the week after labor day.

After this speech students are not liking the idea of being forced to wear the same thing everyday. Some even say there may be some sort of a riot near the date that we would receive uniforms.

And yet, teachers and administrators say that these uniforms can actually help the students. For example Mrs. Oaks stated that these uniforms will help students, “Dress for Success.” Meaning that having uniforms better the whole school.

Is it better to strip students of their creative minds? Or should we let them have the choice? If this is serious, then what other changes might this bring? What will this change bring to school systems across the nation? Will it bring knowledge or rage?
