In India every school has uniforms. For me its better because students comes from different economical backgrounds and uniforms helps to bring equality.
So True , in my college there was no uniform in the beginning I wanted uniform so bad, even it was just women college 😅. Uniform eliminate the choice to think what to wear next day😂😂
where I live we only have uniforms till class 10 and 11 and 12 are called "junior colleges" where we can wear whatever we want and we get a lot of freedom too!! I personally think it should be like this every where 17-18 yr olds should have freedom
Honestly, I don't think this should be the argument made when it comes to mandatory uniforms . I understand what you mean (and probably those who put the law with the mandatory uniforms think this too) , BUT wouldn't it be better to teach children that it is not good to do this and educate them? After all, uniforms are not the only thing that differentiates richer people from poorer people, and this seems to me just an unprecedented foolish attempt to stop a kind of thinking by forbidding or masking things which can precede that thought , so that it is not seen. When in fact it doesn't necessarily have to do with it and there are so many things that can rise differences between children because of their economical background. (The pencil case, the phone, the pencil, the backpack etc.) You can't make everyone the same, but you can teach them how to behave, to bring arguments, to educate them. These things can also happen in adult life (we make differences because of someone else's job, etc. These things shouldn't happen. There will probably always be differences between people in terms of money, their house etc., but that doesn't mean we have to be in a certain way with them. This is how we evolved as a species. Not by trying to hide the differences between us, but by teaching people and bringing valid arguments. (try to help those with fewer possibilities to have equal opportunities in terms of education etc. If they put in the effort etc. ) I think (my opinion) (Sorry for my English)
This should not be the argument made. We would be able to tell if you're "poor," by other things like the state or brand of your shoes, your backpack, and even the way you physically look generally in your uniform. Also most rich people do not send their kids to public school, so what equality are we talking about? Since public schools are conceived for the less advantageous to begin, that's why it's free or very inexpensive
@@siralphey That is why the schools also have a thing called a clothes bank where you can buy the uniform and other necessities at a discounted price. I personally knew poor students but you would never have known it by just looking at them and their clothes unless you knew them really personally. I had a rich friend who attended public school and so did my sister😂 There are rich people who just don't see the need to send their children to a rich school when there is a perfectly good public school nearby. Public schools are for everyone no matter if you are rich or poor in my country. Heck nobody thinks cause you went to a public school it means you are poor. There are really expensive public schools as well.

Here in the Philippines both private and public schools have a uniform. Benefits include "decreasing" the social gap because everyone wears the same thing.
@@klaw1425 lol I mean in the Philippines. Nowadays there are uniforms. Back in my day the public schools didn't have one. I thought you were talking about the Philippines.

Uniforms prevent kids from being looked down on by other well off kids because of their clothes.....and that was actually really helpful from my POV because we never really bothered to look at what the other person was wearing etc cuz we all looked the same 😂
I understand that, but if you have a good school, that shouldn’t be a problem or it should be minimized. In America, we have some schools that are uniform and some that are not so I’ve experienced both. I live in an area that has a large population of poor people who need free school lunches and help with school expenses etc. and a large population of really really rich people. Our school is not really known for bullying, we also have a lot of people with school aids and disabilities, and I’ve never heard of anyone getting made fun of. I’m sure there is bullying, but the majority of it is to people with bad personalities and it’s not really a huge problem POINT: Despite the differences in economic status, my school has overcome these challenges and have promoted things like health drives. A hygiene kit that any student could go to (I’ve even used to get a pad before an exam) A relatively new period awareness club (I’m a part of and we’ve gotten hundreds of thousands of donations for people in period poverty) And many more resources for those less fortunate in our school and community
The uniforms bother me because I would be incredibly uncomfortable wearing a skirt that length. I much prefer skirts/dresses that fall to the ankle, but at the very least below the knee.
@@me9266-m7z I'm not sure about western countries but for eastern especially asian countries phones and makeup were not allowed in school .... and as for uniform our schools generally just took our measurements and sent them to the same brand of company to get them tailored,......they would do that at the start of school year
@@michellelee8933 that's why I think it's not a bad idea, it really can help in reducing mobbing. As a child I probably wouldn't have liked it very much to wear one, but it makes sure that u don't have to choose what u wear as well😅
Uniforms make everyone equal. I remember in kindergarten, a boy was constantly bullied because he wore poor clothes. That is why school uniforms are good
South African. 🙋🏾♀️I prefer uniforms and wore it throughout my school life. It looks so professional! It also encourages equality. No child can compete with another for having 'expensive' clothing. All kids look the same, even poor kids. Kids with basic school uniform fit it in automatically! Less classism and less distraction for boys and girls. 😇👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I wore school uniforms from first day of primary school to last day of highschool. When I started my University education I realised that some days I still would prefer wearing a uniform but tbh in a dorm life it would be even harder to keep the track of washing, hanging, and ironing them. It is a huge freedom to being able to wear freshly washed clothes everyday of the week bc for uniforms I had to wait weekends to wash them (we did not own a drier)
In Somalia, we have school uniforms, even for some universities. The white shirt is for both boys and girls; but, every school has different colors for long skirts and hijabs.
Not all uniform are nice, we have the government uniform which is brown n cream plain and simple not bad den we av other school's, I personally don't love my uniform but its nice
Thats such an amazing way to connect students from different countries 😁 I guess they had to do this for an assignmet? I wish we had that opportunity back in school!
I absolutely loved wearing uniforms in school in Jamaica. The showing off or competing because of brands and keeping up with fashion was not a thing we had to care about. Even our shoes were to be a particular type to avoid any sort of distractions.The only restrictions to hair were if you were to wear any accessories, they had to match the colors for your grade level, nor could your hair be colored, nor loose. No jewelry but that varied by the school, main thing became nothing remotely flashy. It would actually be cheaper for parents if schools used uniforms instead of a free dresscode and all of this reduced bullying among students because everyone was the same.
Hi, I'm a 15-year-old from the Netherlands. I heard that in many countries they have dress codes such as: "you're not allowed to wear short skirts" or "have thin straps on your shirts:. Here, most people don't wear short skirts or thin straps because we dont want or choose not to, but not because somebody tells us not to, I think that's a very important message What are your thoughts on this ? Love from the Netherlands. ♡
In india we do. We also have compulsory hair style which is two braids. And also we have diff dress code for Wednesday and Saturday which is more white color and on other days its black color . Diff school have diff kind of uniforms
I fckin hate the hair looping man. My hair type is such that it can't hold looped hair for more than 5 minutes and they still tried to force me. I get the double braids but looping is ugly af and not all hair is made for it.
In my school the rule is the hair shouldn't fall in face that is it doesn't matter its one pony ,2 ponies , one braid or 2 braids so its not for all school
As a scholarship student in a private school I've always been really grateful for the uniforms Makes me feel part of the group Every time someone in my class has a parry that is like, semi formal or formal I just use an excuse to don't go because I don't have what to wear for those craps, and my friends usually don't go to those anyway, so I can't borrow
You're amazing for being a Scholarship student, don't feel bad about not having clothes to wear to parties. Soon enough you will have more than enough money to spend on clothes. You're not missing anything by not going to parties.. there'll be time for all that later. God bless you ❤
@@batataholl Glad I could be of encouragement. I was a scholarship student too (at masters level) and could not afford many things my classmates could. But I am so well paid now that I can buy all the top designer bags and shoes if I wanted to (I don't). I would rather invest in property and help as many people as possible.
@batataholl . Although it sucks to not have as much money as the people around you, especially in a private school , you'll be better for it in the long run. Some life skills, self awareness, humility, hard work, etc are things that make you a better person and help you understand the world around you, and the people in it better....
I do remember cutting my hair. This was just 3 years ago. I wasn't even in a public school. I was in a private one. But most private schools also use the cutting hair rule. I was only able to grow out and braid my hair after going to an international school.
In Gambia both public and private schools wear uniforms. It's beautiful. Especially when there is interschool events, so colorful We wear the same uniform here at SOS Herman Gmeiner secondary school Gambia.
I never liked wearing uniforms, especially when I was in high school, but our principal was very strict about this. He used to say that wearing uniform distinguishes us from other schools (every public school in Turkey has its own uniform) so that he can understand who is his student and who is not. 😅
I went to a public school in the US with uniforms, it was to build some sense of unity with the students and deter bullying when it came to clothing etc, I think it actually did help kids focus more and it made getting ready for school faster. They no longer have the uniforms nowadays though
Do you mean that most public schools don’t have uniforms? Because we definitely have dress codes. Like you can’t have rips in Jeans that are 6 inches above the knee, or that shirt straps need to be at least 3 fingers wide
@@chrstiania We did have some rules about skirt length, and we couldn't wear tube tops, etc. But it was not very strict, and mostly the boys got in trouble rather than the girls. The boys would wears shirts with cuss words or guns, and they'd have to turn them inside out, lol. But really, you had to wear something really crazy to get in trouble. Nobody cared about brands or designers, even the rich kids came to school in Old Navy flip flops.
In UK we wear uniform and I love it as there is no peer pressure for what designer clothes some kids can wear and some kind and everyone in uniform looks so neat and smart
This was important. I had no idea they wore uniforms in ghana. You only wear uniforms depending on the school here in the USA, and I’d say it’s mostly private schools that require uniforms. I’ve gone to a charter school and we didn’t have uniforms but charters are able to kinda make their own rules depending on their contracts.
Dang, I had the reverse situation. My charter school didnt have a uniform per se but we had a strict dress code of soild color polos, and certain skirts/pants. Meanwhile at my private school the dress code is only to stop excessive midrift from showing lol
@@eeeeesha this is mostly true, school uniform is very common in the UK however I went to a state school in the UK and we didn't. There were 2 state secondary schools in my area that didn't and also my primary school didn't and you generally don't at sixth form
Yeah am from Ghana my school is private, but same reason she said so we❤❤❤❤ have afro we have to cut our hair my school is victory Presbyterian church school yep
very similar to singapore schools. there's a dress code for uniform, skirt length, types of socks and shoes and the colour it must be (usually white). hair and bangs all tied and clipped up, no hair dye/bleach. no colourful bras as you can see it through the white blouse.
I prefere a dress code. In my primary school in the UK, it was optional. In Iraq high school, I had a dress code. Dress code decreases the difference between the students coming from different economical background to some extent. Also, it decreases the weight of thinking what to wear and to buy new different clothes because you have repeated the outfit. Also, I had to have my hair up too.
i’m from australia! at least in the cities, almost every single school whether public or private has a uniform. it depends on the school but the ones in my area (private girls schools lol) are usually: a skirt and button up shirt for summer a skirt, button up, and blazer for winter my school also added pants ^^
I'm Nigerian and a lot of African schools do it (I went to a Catholic school.... Unfortunately) it was private but we still had to cut our hair. Basically the root cause of that rule is racism White missionaries cut black ppls hair when they came to Africa because they "didn't know how else to make it look well kept" and schools still do it till this day to keep us focused and well kept... I still hate myself for agreeing to go to a Catholic school 😭😭😭😭😭
Not all schools enforce cutting of hair but they usually have approved female braids . The braids this girl is wearing would never be allowed. I remember jewellery and makeup were also forbidden during my time. Guys too had to cut thier hair simple, no afro or fancy hair styles.
In my school in India we used to have a univorm which was a shirt and skirt till grade 10 and then a shirt, coat and a pair of pants for grade 11 and 12. But thats abt is tho not rlly adament on hairstyles or anything. Theyd prefer u put ur hair up in someway like a pomytail or sm but they dint rlly mind
A lot of the schools where I'm from in the Southeast United States wear uniforms. They didn't when I was in school, but now they do. The schools around me when I was in school required clear or mesh bookbags.
Do one with my school from south africa! We are an agricultural and technical public school located in Brits, Northwest, South Africa. Our school is Die Hoërskool Wagpos
These Uniforms look cute. It makes the kids look equal. That is nice and might prevent bullying, bc often the poorer looking children are being bullied, when it is obvious through poor clothings.
Yeah that's not what happens. Kids still bully/distinguish each other by new uniforms/second hand uniforms, bags, shoes, phone, make up, hair, nails and especially jewellery. It does not in any way prevent bullying
@Ash-nc9bb are you inssane? Of course they bully kids because of the things I listed. The things I listed ARE ways kids differentiate poor kids from rich kids. Have you never had a uniform yourself??
@@tvdsjein our school all the stuff you listed never happened because first of all you couldn't bring nails, jewellery or whatever it seems you are from a different country and not every body gets bullied some people are mentally strong or are no nonsense people, so I guess you are the one who's "inssane", just because your experiences differ don't go around saying another person is wrong
@Serenity90621 I don't know for other African countries but this bullying thing is not something people give attention to. You bully someone he or she meets you after school to settle score. Bully someone over here? They will bully you too in turn. Besides, before you leave the house,most parents will prepare you mentally that never give in to that.
personally, through a biased opinion. i love having dress codes. kids are mean, they are mostly led by example and wanting to be better than the other kids. I've seen it personally. with dress codes, they can't really brag about having the better clothing brands or whatnot. of course the kids still brag about the shoes brands tho hahaha
Yeah, but kids are mean and with dress codes they just find other things to bully and pick on. I’d rather be bullied because of clothes then the other stuff they made fun of
i mean, for the one year i went to a private school, we had uniforms and they still picked on me for my race there. even in public school kids bullied me
Yes they can: bags, shoes, new uniform/ second hand, nails done, hair done, jewelry, phone, etc. The anti bullying argument is the worst one there is 😂
@totally_a_real_account7902 it's a flaw system. most people will bully anybody they deem as an outcast. Like i said, this is my personal opinion. i didn't get bullied for my clothing. I got pick for being fat. i get it
In the Caribbean we have school uniforms including private schools. It truly helps because having to keep up with fashion and clothes it would be too much
In my country public schools don't have uniform but we do have a dress code that is the same for boys and girls and that dress code make sense, is like "not going to school in flipflops"
i think religious schools cutting off hair of groups of people who’s identity relies on hair a lot is messed up. my grandma went to residential schools in canada and every child had their hair forcefully cut off. it’s just icky and too far.
In the UK we have uniform and girls have to tie they're hair if it's past the shoulders and I am a boy and my parents are from Ghana 🇬🇭. We have non-uniform days and if your wondering I had a high taper fade before and i had a big afro. Edit: Thank you for the like.
I live in Qatar and I'm in a private school called sabis u can search it up if u want we have a uniform but it's like a shirt that has the school logo and sweat pants so it's pretty comfy and we can do our hair however we want and in the uniform we also have hoodies and like other types of jackets but my favorite one is the hoodie so yea but I loveeeeeeee my school bc their not strict at all we can wear any socks any shoes u can even wear crocs or slippers and at the end of every year everyone goes to each other and we sign each other's shirts it's Soo funn😊😊
In pakistan all schools have a uniform and tbh i really like it cus everyone wears the same things and it is one less thing, you can bully someone about
At my high-school in NZ we had an interesting one. School uniform for year 9-12, hair only had to be tied back for Monday assembly (or other formal occasions), and that was also the only time we had to wear our ties. Year 13 we could wear what we wanted within reason (except on Mondays when we had to wear the uniform with hair tied back and a tie like everyone else). Within reason just meaning, not swimwear, pyjamas, anything offensive or anything super revealing.
In iraq we have a dress code. From elementary school till 6th grade boys wear jeans with a white shirt For the girls white shirt and something like a long overall dress. And for middle school the boys wear jeans and the shirt depends on what school you go to Same goes for the girls but instead of jeans something close to an overall dress. The hijab color is also decided by the school as i kid i used to wear a white/black/navy hijab color, and now i wear a cyan/navy hijab color.
I think it's better than not having a dress code , yes I know maybe some students don't have enough money, some students may have enough money, but having uniforms is so much better and even having different colors or styles for seniors and juniors is amazing for me I love it ❤❤
Here in côte d'ivoire, most schools require you (as a girl, but boys too) to cut your hair, for some, starting from 10th grade you get to have cornrows, it's only when you are in another system ("American"/ "IB"/ "Canadian"/ "french" school system) you get to keep your hair, and have it in whatever style you want, and better you get shorter skirt. In the Ivorian school system, a wild number of schools started in 2018 to require girl to have their skirt going to their ankles. Oh and I think that every schools here have a dress code, depending on the school, but most adopt the white shirt and navy blue bottoms.
Je n'ai jamais compris ce système de se couper les cheveux qui est dégueulasse, si d'autres veulent couper lur cheveux ça devrait être un choix personnel et non une obligation
My kid’s charter has uniforms. On the one hand she isn’t a fan, on the other she is not a morning person, doesn’t have much free time, and finds it easy to wear the same thing every day. She noticed that girls who transferred in often wore a lot of make up and more elaborate hairstyles; within a couple of months they stopped wearing make up and fancy hair styles. Her conclusion was that they were now too busy to spend excess time on their appearance. I would have appreciated having uniforms in my schools growing up.
In my school we have a school uniform, both boys and girls have to wear grey trousers because of the cold weather, we have to wear a full sleeve shirt with our school logo on it with a maroon tie with our school's name written on it, then we have a maroon blazer with our school logo on the pocket and we have brown shoes and socks with our school's name on it, we have to follow this routine from monday-thursday and on Fridays we have track suits and the t-shirt is maroon with our school's name on it, and we have a hoodie and trousers to go with it and we have house coloured sneakers, there's yellow, green, red and blue. Girls with short hair have to wear a white hairband or white clips then for girls with long hair have to make two braids with white ribbons and boys have to keep their hair short.
In georgia some school have dress code but in my school we dont have to wear unforms and we also can our hair down and do whatever we want with our hair❤
I know I'm late, but I'm extremely new to deconstruction. This is so helpful. All these narratives about deconstruction - narratives I know, believed, and often shared myself - have been ringing in my head. And since my deconstruction jumpstarted after abuse, I feel so evil for not giving the gospel the amount of scrutiny I'm expected to under these things. I feel like I am all the evil things they say. You responding to these statements clearly and pointedly is very comforting. Just makes me feel like I'm not dumb, and I'm okay and not evil for "deconstructing against my will" and finding myself falling away from faith while being too traumatized to really fight for it.
In belgium we rarely have any dress codes but in my school we do have a few rules on what you're allowed to wear and what not (i go to a public school)
I think the benefits of a school uniform is that is less expensive for the parents to buy clothes as you usually have 3 or two that you alternate during the week while one is being washed and I also like that when you take it off you know your out of school

Uniforms prevent kids from being looked down on by other well off kids because of their clothes.....and that was actually really helpful from my POV because we never really bothered to look at what the other person was wearing etc cuz we all looked the same 😂
I understand that, but if you have a good school, that shouldn’t be a problem or it should be minimized. In America, we have some schools that are uniform and some that are not so I’ve experienced both. I live in an area that has a large population of poor people who need free school lunches and help with school expenses etc. and a large population of really really rich people.
Our school is not really known for bullying, we also have a lot of people with school aids and disabilities, and I’ve never heard of anyone getting made fun of. I’m sure there is bullying, but the majority of it is to people with bad personalities and it’s not really a huge problem
POINT: Despite the differences in economic status, my school has overcome these challenges and have promoted things like health drives. A hygiene kit that any student could go to (I’ve even used to get a pad before an exam) A relatively new period awareness club (I’m a part of and we’ve gotten hundreds of thousands of donations for people in period poverty) And many more resources for those less fortunate in our school and community
Won't the rich kids still have uniforms that are better fitted and new and in a better state? Plus they still have phones and stuff
The uniforms bother me because I would be incredibly uncomfortable wearing a skirt that length. I much prefer skirts/dresses that fall to the ankle, but at the very least below the knee.
@@me9266-m7z I'm not sure about western countries but for eastern especially asian countries phones and makeup were not allowed in school .... and as for uniform our schools generally just took our measurements and sent them to the same brand of company to get them tailored,......they would do that at the start of school year
@@skydadashzadeh oooo.....that would be an issue ...but as for me being Indian it was always below knee length so it was pretty comfortable and secure
I think it's better if you dont have a dress codes, but there are benifits for sure
Yea, in a lot of asian countries uniforms are mandated so students of different economic status don't feel the gap.
dress codes are important. the issue is when they go crazy with it and don't let you wear even a tank
@@michellelee8933You can still feel the gap through brands and quality of the clothes
@@michellelee8933 that's why I think it's not a bad idea, it really can help in reducing mobbing. As a child I probably wouldn't have liked it very much to wear one, but it makes sure that u don't have to choose what u wear as well😅
Uniforms make everyone equal. I remember in kindergarten, a boy was constantly bullied because he wore poor clothes. That is why school uniforms are good
In South African ALL schools have uniforms, you have to be neat and tidy during school....
Ghana 🇬🇭 here i love 💘 south Africa 🇿🇦 so dearly i can't wait to marry a 2nd wife from South Africa ❤
You can also be neat and tidy without an uniform...
her uniform is acc so pretty

In the Caribbean all schools must wear uniforms, that’s nice😊
“I love my hair when it’s out and a big Afro” ❤
I live in Ghana and I go to public senior high School the teachers disturb us to cut our hair all the time!!😢😢😢
Lol you can start braiding when you complete
That's terrible😮😢
My mom also had to cut her hair when she was younger and going to school in 🇬🇭!
Only two things could help her maintain her hair. Either she attends a private school for the affluent or get medical report
It's an international school
In public schools it's all going down
The hair cut help men who who fall into victim of being a pedophile for those who can't tell girls from being teenagers..
This is the exact same as my school uniform, am from Kerala a state in India, South Asia
In Poland we don't have a dress code, but I always wished to have one like in Ghana 🥺

With bald head?
South African. 🙋🏾♀️I prefer uniforms and wore it throughout my school life. It looks so professional! It also encourages equality. No child can compete with another for having 'expensive' clothing. All kids look the same, even poor kids. Kids with basic school uniform fit it in automatically! Less classism and less distraction for boys and girls. 😇👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Muito bem explicado 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Exactly, it prepares you for the professional world, professionalism requires following your job/career's dress code!
I agree on most things but the distraction part 😂😂😂🙆
I wore school uniforms from first day of primary school to last day of highschool. When I started my University education I realised that some days I still would prefer wearing a uniform but tbh in a dorm life it would be even harder to keep the track of washing, hanging, and ironing them. It is a huge freedom to being able to wear freshly washed clothes everyday of the week bc for uniforms I had to wait weekends to wash them (we did not own a drier)
Love the interaction btw
In Somalia, we have school uniforms, even for some universities. The white shirt is for both boys and girls; but, every school has different colors for long skirts and hijabs.
Omg, Ghanaian school uniforms are nicely tailored. School uniforms in my country are loose, lousy and baggy. We never look good in them 😮💨.
Not all uniform are nice, we have the government uniform which is brown n cream plain and simple not bad den we av other school's, I personally don't love my uniform but its nice
Thats such an amazing way to connect students from different countries 😁 I guess they had to do this for an assignmet? I wish we had that opportunity back in school!
Living in Germany 🇩🇪 for 4 years, I must say it’s beautiful and beautiful people out there
I absolutely loved wearing uniforms in school in Jamaica. The showing off or competing because of brands and keeping up with fashion was not a thing we had to care about. Even our shoes were to be a particular type to avoid any sort of distractions.The only restrictions to hair were if you were to wear any accessories, they had to match the colors for your grade level, nor could your hair be colored, nor loose. No jewelry but that varied by the school, main thing became nothing remotely flashy. It would actually be cheaper for parents if schools used uniforms instead of a free dresscode and all of this reduced bullying among students because everyone was the same.
So true
Hi, I'm a 15-year-old from the Netherlands.
I heard that in many countries they have dress codes such as: "you're not allowed to wear short skirts" or "have thin straps on your shirts:.
Here, most people don't wear short skirts or thin straps because we dont want or choose not to, but not because somebody tells us not to,
I think that's a very important message
What are your thoughts on this ?
Love from the Netherlands. ♡
Your uniform is very nice and you wear it so well !
In india we do. We also have compulsory hair style which is two braids. And also we have diff dress code for Wednesday and Saturday which is more white color and on other days its black color . Diff school have diff kind of uniforms
Not in all schools at the moment some t
Years ago that was the case but now they are not that strict
not all school have compulsory hair style stuff, we let our hair down and we wear suit and tie for school
I fckin hate the hair looping man. My hair type is such that it can't hold looped hair for more than 5 minutes and they still tried to force me. I get the double braids but looping is ugly af and not all hair is made for it.
In my school the rule is the hair shouldn't fall in face that is it doesn't matter its one pony ,2 ponies , one braid or 2 braids so its not for all school
@@pradyotkumarbanerjee5675 ur one of the lucky ones lol
As a scholarship student in a private school I've always been really grateful for the uniforms
Makes me feel part of the group
Every time someone in my class has a parry that is like, semi formal or formal I just use an excuse to don't go because I don't have what to wear for those craps, and my friends usually don't go to those anyway, so I can't borrow
You're amazing for being a Scholarship student, don't feel bad about not having clothes to wear to parties. Soon enough you will have more than enough money to spend on clothes. You're not missing anything by not going to parties.. there'll be time for all that later. God bless you ❤
@@moa5351 thank you, you have no idea how much I needed to read this today
@@batataholl Glad I could be of encouragement. I was a scholarship student too (at masters level) and could not afford many things my classmates could. But I am so well paid now that I can buy all the top designer bags and shoes if I wanted to (I don't). I would rather invest in property and help as many people as possible.
@batataholl . Although it sucks to not have as much money as the people around you, especially in a private school , you'll be better for it in the long run. Some life skills, self awareness, humility, hard work, etc are things that make you a better person and help you understand the world around you, and the people in it better....
I do remember cutting my hair. This was just 3 years ago. I wasn't even in a public school. I was in a private one. But most private schools also use the cutting hair rule. I was only able to grow out and braid my hair after going to an international school.
In Gambia both public and private schools wear uniforms. It's beautiful. Especially when there is interschool events, so colorful
We wear the same uniform here at SOS Herman Gmeiner secondary school Gambia.
Their uniforms look really well tailored
I never liked wearing uniforms, especially when I was in high school, but our principal was very strict about this. He used to say that wearing uniform distinguishes us from other schools (every public school in Turkey has its own uniform) so that he can understand who is his student and who is not. 😅
I went to a public school in the US with uniforms, it was to build some sense of unity with the students and deter bullying when it came to clothing etc, I think it actually did help kids focus more and it made getting ready for school faster. They no longer have the uniforms nowadays though
Here in USA most public schools don’t , but private schools do 😊
not even dress codes regarding the length of skirts or how much skin is showing ?
Do you mean that most public schools don’t have uniforms? Because we definitely have dress codes. Like you can’t have rips in Jeans that are 6 inches above the knee, or that shirt straps need to be at least 3 fingers wide
@@chrstianiaI think every school definitely has length requirements, I went to public school and we had strict dress codes
Why would people want to wear revealing uncomfortable clothes at school anyways? School uniform is nice. No bullying judges on what you wear either
@@chrstiania We did have some rules about skirt length, and we couldn't wear tube tops, etc. But it was not very strict, and mostly the boys got in trouble rather than the girls. The boys would wears shirts with cuss words or guns, and they'd have to turn them inside out, lol. But really, you had to wear something really crazy to get in trouble. Nobody cared about brands or designers, even the rich kids came to school in Old Navy flip flops.
OMG my sisters go to SOS too😃😃 Hi!! from Nigeria 👋👋👋👋
In UK we wear uniform and I love it as there is no peer pressure for what designer clothes some kids can wear and some kind and everyone in uniform looks so neat and smart
Also some public schools wear kokonte(light brown and dark brown) uniforms
Hahaha kokonte and abenkwan😂
This was important. I had no idea they wore uniforms in ghana. You only wear uniforms depending on the school here in the USA, and I’d say it’s mostly private schools that require uniforms. I’ve gone to a charter school and we didn’t have uniforms but charters are able to kinda make their own rules depending on their contracts.
In the UK we have to all wear it and they are pretty strict in comp especially
Dang, I had the reverse situation. My charter school didnt have a uniform per se but we had a strict dress code of soild color polos, and certain skirts/pants. Meanwhile at my private school the dress code is only to stop excessive midrift from showing lol
@@eeeeesha this is mostly true, school uniform is very common in the UK
however I went to a state school in the UK and we didn't. There were 2 state secondary schools in my area that didn't and also my primary school didn't and you generally don't at sixth form
@@steam_jane5580 yeah I'm in a public school too but I guess some of them are different
Yeah am from Ghana my school is private, but same reason she said so we❤❤❤❤ have afro we have to cut our hair my school is victory Presbyterian church school yep
you guys look so fun to hang out with❤
Yall have the prettiest braids❤
very similar to singapore schools. there's a dress code for uniform, skirt length, types of socks and shoes and the colour it must be (usually white). hair and bangs all tied and clipped up, no hair dye/bleach. no colourful bras as you can see it through the white blouse.
I prefere a dress code. In my primary school in the UK, it was optional. In Iraq high school, I had a dress code. Dress code decreases the difference between the students coming from different economical background to some extent. Also, it decreases the weight of thinking what to wear and to buy new different clothes because you have repeated the outfit. Also, I had to have my hair up too.
i’m from australia! at least in the cities, almost every single school whether public or private has a uniform. it depends on the school but the ones in my area (private girls schools lol) are usually:
a skirt and button up shirt for summer
a skirt, button up, and blazer for winter
my school also added pants ^^
also private school uniforms are more formal looking and much stricter.
Yes and occasionally we have to pay just to wear casual clothes
There so strickt as well 😭
@@DuckSneezer YESSS OH MY GOD u cant wear mufti unless u give a donation
stop their uniform is so pretty. mine makes me look like a smurf T_T
Yeah I'm from Ghana
Finland: We don't have dress codes or uniforms soo.. Pyjama everyday
A uniform is fine. But having to cut your hair for school!? That sounds cruel.
Yea
I'm Nigerian and a lot of African schools do it
(I went to a Catholic school.... Unfortunately) it was private but we still had to cut our hair.
Basically the root cause of that rule is racism
White missionaries cut black ppls hair when they came to Africa because they "didn't know how else to make it look well kept" and schools still do it till this day to keep us focused and well kept... I still hate myself for agreeing to go to a Catholic school 😭😭😭😭😭
Here in India, nails are cut or not also checked, and ofcourse hair also. It is generally followed upto High school (10th standard).
@@Whoaaaa___ Me too
You only start braiding your hair in college. That is if you went to a public school😢
Not all schools enforce cutting of hair but they usually have approved female braids . The braids this girl is wearing would never be allowed. I remember jewellery and makeup were also forbidden during my time. Guys too had to cut thier hair simple, no afro or fancy hair styles.
their school uniforms look really elegant! love them
In my school in India we used to have a univorm which was a shirt and skirt till grade 10 and then a shirt, coat and a pair of pants for grade 11 and 12.
But thats abt is tho not rlly adament on hairstyles or anything.
Theyd prefer u put ur hair up in someway like a pomytail or sm but they dint rlly mind
A lot of the schools where I'm from in the Southeast United States wear uniforms. They didn't when I was in school, but now they do. The schools around me when I was in school required clear or mesh bookbags.
I’m a Ghanaian and I love my short hair
I went to a half private half public school in germany. We didn't have uniform but very strict rules about what to wear
In Canada most catholic high school like mine have uniforms, but elementary schools don't usually have uniforms
Hair is a big part of how we express ourselves so me and my friends kind of break the hair rule sometimes.
Here in Britian most public schools have a dress code
I guess you mean state schools/government schools not public (independent) schools like Eton.
I‘m from Germany and we definitely have a dress code
See how that works? few countries are the same everywhere.
bro im in Ghana half the girls in my school have colored hair and there is this dude who wears reds socks but we do have a uniform

Do one with my school from south africa! We are an agricultural and technical public school located in Brits, Northwest, South Africa. Our school is Die Hoërskool Wagpos
These Uniforms look cute. It makes the kids look equal. That is nice and might prevent bullying, bc often the poorer looking children are being bullied, when it is obvious through poor clothings.
Exactly! That’s one reason we have uniforms: to create a space where everyone is equal and background, money, etc. doesn’t matter.
Yeah that's not what happens. Kids still bully/distinguish each other by new uniforms/second hand uniforms, bags, shoes, phone, make up, hair, nails and especially jewellery. It does not in any way prevent bullying
@Ash-nc9bb are you inssane? Of course they bully kids because of the things I listed. The things I listed ARE ways kids differentiate poor kids from rich kids. Have you never had a uniform yourself??
@@tvdsjein our school all the stuff you listed never happened because first of all you couldn't bring nails, jewellery or whatever it seems you are from a different country and not every body gets bullied some people are mentally strong or are no nonsense people, so I guess you are the one who's "inssane", just because your experiences differ don't go around saying another person is wrong
@Serenity90621 I don't know for other African countries but this bullying thing is not something people give attention to. You bully someone he or she meets you after school to settle score. Bully someone over here? They will bully you too in turn.
Besides, before you leave the house,most parents will prepare you mentally that never give in to that.
personally, through a biased opinion. i love having dress codes. kids are mean, they are mostly led by example and wanting to be better than the other kids. I've seen it personally. with dress codes, they can't really brag about having the better clothing brands or whatnot. of course the kids still brag about the shoes brands tho hahaha
Yeah, but kids are mean and with dress codes they just find other things to bully and pick on. I’d rather be bullied because of clothes then the other stuff they made fun of
i mean, for the one year i went to a private school, we had uniforms and they still picked on me for my race there. even in public school kids bullied me
Yes they can: bags, shoes, new uniform/ second hand, nails done, hair done, jewelry, phone, etc. The anti bullying argument is the worst one there is 😂
@totally_a_real_account7902 it's a flaw system. most people will bully anybody they deem as an outcast. Like i said, this is my personal opinion. i didn't get bullied for my clothing. I got pick for being fat. i get it
Agreed. Though even so, like said above, they find other stuff to bully about, it’s WAY better.
In the Caribbean we have school uniforms including private schools. It truly helps because having to keep up with fashion and clothes it would be too much
In my country public schools don't have uniform but we do have a dress code that is the same for boys and girls and that dress code make sense, is like "not going to school in flipflops"
i think religious schools cutting off hair of groups of people who’s identity relies on hair a lot is messed up. my grandma went to residential schools in canada and every child had their hair forcefully cut off. it’s just icky and too far.
In the UK we have uniform and girls have to tie they're hair if it's past the shoulders and I am a boy and my parents are from Ghana 🇬🇭. We have non-uniform days and if your wondering I had a high taper fade before and i had a big afro.
Edit: Thank you for the like.
She’s really pretty 💗

I live in Qatar and I'm in a private school called sabis u can search it up if u want we have a uniform but it's like a shirt that has the school logo and sweat pants so it's pretty comfy and we can do our hair however we want and in the uniform we also have hoodies and like other types of jackets but my favorite one is the hoodie so yea but I loveeeeeeee my school bc their not strict at all we can wear any socks any shoes u can even wear crocs or slippers and at the end of every year everyone goes to each other and we sign each other's shirts it's Soo funn😊😊

In uk we wear uniform
The uniform is really pretty. I like it
Half German, half South East Asian here. Experienced both, loved my school uniform, but didn't mind having no dress code either
In pakistan all schools have a uniform and tbh i really like it cus everyone wears the same things and it is one less thing, you can bully someone about
The uniforms look better than the "wear whatever you want"
At my high-school in NZ we had an interesting one. School uniform for year 9-12, hair only had to be tied back for Monday assembly (or other formal occasions), and that was also the only time we had to wear our ties. Year 13 we could wear what we wanted within reason (except on Mondays when we had to wear the uniform with hair tied back and a tie like everyone else). Within reason just meaning, not swimwear, pyjamas, anything offensive or anything super revealing.
In iraq we have a dress code.
From elementary school till 6th grade boys wear jeans with a white shirt
For the girls white shirt and something like a long overall dress.
And for middle school the boys wear jeans and the shirt depends on what school you go to
Same goes for the girls but instead of jeans something close to an overall dress.
The hijab color is also decided by the school as i kid i used to wear a white/black/navy hijab color, and now i wear a cyan/navy hijab color.
Yeah denmark dosent wear uniforms we can wear a crop top or a shirt that look like a bra in design and lengt so thats nice 🎉❤
We had to wear uniforms and it made our lives a lot easier because we didn't have to worry about what we were going to wear the next day
here in germany i had three or four separate exams that were about discussing whether dress codes are good or bad 😭😭
I think it's better than not having a dress code , yes I know maybe some students don't have enough money, some students may have enough money, but having uniforms is so much better and even having different colors or styles for seniors and juniors is amazing for me I love it ❤❤

Having No uniforms lack of formality and in a way a lack of student-vibe. It's like a stroll in the park.
Here in côte d'ivoire, most schools require you (as a girl, but boys too) to cut your hair, for some, starting from 10th grade you get to have cornrows, it's only when you are in another system ("American"/ "IB"/ "Canadian"/ "french" school system) you get to keep your hair, and have it in whatever style you want, and better you get shorter skirt. In the Ivorian school system, a wild number of schools started in 2018 to require girl to have their skirt going to their ankles.
Oh and I think that every schools here have a dress code, depending on the school, but most adopt the white shirt and navy blue bottoms.
Je n'ai jamais compris ce système de se couper les cheveux qui est dégueulasse, si d'autres veulent couper lur cheveux ça devrait être un choix personnel et non une obligation
My kid’s charter has uniforms. On the one hand she isn’t a fan, on the other she is not a morning person, doesn’t have much free time, and finds it easy to wear the same thing every day.
She noticed that girls who transferred in often wore a lot of make up and more elaborate hairstyles; within a couple of months they stopped wearing make up and fancy hair styles. Her conclusion was that they were now too busy to spend excess time on their appearance.
I would have appreciated having uniforms in my schools growing up.
Similar to schools in South Africa too - I absolutely loved our school uniform and it looks beautiful to see students in unison in uniform
In my school we have a school uniform, both boys and girls have to wear grey trousers because of the cold weather, we have to wear a full sleeve shirt with our school logo on it with a maroon tie with our school's name written on it, then we have a maroon blazer with our school logo on the pocket and we have brown shoes and socks with our school's name on it, we have to follow this routine from monday-thursday and on Fridays we have track suits and the t-shirt is maroon with our school's name on it, and we have a hoodie and trousers to go with it and we have house coloured sneakers, there's yellow, green, red and blue. Girls with short hair have to wear a white hairband or white clips then for girls with long hair have to make two braids with white ribbons and boys have to keep their hair short.
In georgia some school have dress code but in my school we dont have to wear unforms and we also can our hair down and do whatever we want with our hair❤
I know I'm late, but I'm extremely new to deconstruction. This is so helpful. All these narratives about deconstruction - narratives I know, believed, and often shared myself - have been ringing in my head. And since my deconstruction jumpstarted after abuse, I feel so evil for not giving the gospel the amount of scrutiny I'm expected to under these things. I feel like I am all the evil things they say.
You responding to these statements clearly and pointedly is very comforting. Just makes me feel like I'm not dumb, and I'm okay and not evil for "deconstructing against my will" and finding myself falling away from faith while being too traumatized to really fight for it.
In belgium we rarely have any dress codes but in my school we do have a few rules on what you're allowed to wear and what not (i go to a public school)
Tbh she rocks the uniform
I think the benefits of a school uniform is that is less expensive for the parents to buy clothes as you usually have 3 or two that you alternate during the week while one is being washed and I also like that when you take it off you know your out of school
I actually liked my school uniform and it gave me a fondness for ties and the different ways to tie them.
