Are you at school today? Are you wearing a schoot uniform? ln the U.S., about
2O percent of students wear school uniforms. ln other schools, students wear
their own clothes, but there are often rules, for example, no short skirts, and
no ctothes with bad words on them. lt's interesting to know what American
students think about school uniforms. Here are some of their opinions!

This is a picture of me with my friends Steffan, Chris, and Mauro. We're sitting
in the schootyard, and we're in our school uniforms! l'm wearing pants and
a white polo shirt. l'm not wearing a sweater, but I have a dark btue sweater,
too. We can choose between different-cotored pants and polo shirts. The
girts can choose different-cotored pants or skirts. I think school uniforms are a
good idea. ln my schoot, there are students from rich and poor famities, but
we atl wear the same uniform. \üle're atl equal at schoot. Samuel (13)

We're wearing our own ctothes-l'm wearing jeans and a yettow sweater. I think
that uniforms are a bad idea. Your ctothes tetl peopte about you and your
personality, and a uniform can't do thatl At my schoot, you can wear what you
want every day. There are some rutes, but that's OK by mel LyLa (12)

Our schooI has a very strict uniform, but I tike itl ln this picture, l'm with
my science partner in class. We're doing a test, and we're wearing the
uniform: a dark btue jacket, a white shirt, and a dark-btue-and-tight blue
tie. lthink uniforms are a good idea. When l'm wearing my uniform,
I concentrate on what l'm doing and not on what l,m wearing, and I think
