u r in a public... pple who have eyes, first thing they will see is the whole external image of ur uniform colours n all, being transmitted to ur brain. n d...

despondent SG

students seriously should learnto dress properly when in uniform when outside school. they dun understand that when outside school, the school's image rest on their shoulders. many students study hard for good grades...tats gd but wad abt the attire? when they face the public, no one will noe how good a student they are cos the public dunno their grades in school. however, the way they wear their uniform portrays an impression on the general public.
i have seen top students in major exams being published in teh papers. their results r great!!! but the way they wear their uniform doesnt portray the right image of a top student. imagine foreigners reading abt them in the papers...wad wil they tink of our top students when they see the sloppy attire? if its ok to dress sloppily, then y have uniform? might as well wear anything u like. juz like poly n university. wearing the uniform makes u a representative of the school. if students wanna dress sloppily in uniform, then dun tell ppl u r PROUD of ur school. so hypocritical!!!
ppl say tat rules r meant to be broken...well if tats true...y shld our country have laws? no pt since they r meant to be broken

hm

students are only students for several years

must take chance to dress how they like in uniform mah Mr. Green

chanff8 SG

You should see the way students dress INSIDE the school Laughing

Ito_^ SG

nothing wrong wad, they still look student-ish. Laughing

confusedboi SG

school rules are made to be broken Mr. Green

despondent SG

i beg to differ…if students can dress how they like in uniform, then wads the point of having a uniform? might as well make all schools like polys n universities where students wear wad they like…we often consider a student wif good grades as a good student…to me wad makes a good student is someone who is tops in academic results n someone who carries a good image of the school to the public…n wad can the public see other than by the way they wear their uniform n the way they behave outside school?

hisoka SG

who cares its the school not them. not like they will reallly get benefits

confusedboi SG

depends on the individual student

there will be those that conform strictly to rules

while others bend it a bit

and the minority
totally throw the rules out of the window

confusedboi SG

uniform provides some form of conformity

well some is better than none Laughing

Chelzea SG

2 words.........personal freedom Mr. Green

hisoka SG

arh the problem is you are looking at the issue from the regulator's point of view and not that of the oppressed

and seriously do you care if the next person on the street thinks you are a good student? i know i don't

Ole SG

I do have a question here thou, how come people must equate good behaviour with good results? Does having good results means my behaviour must be good?

No it doesn't. I don't even see why school with good result should even be equated with students that have good behaviour. Just because results is good doesn't mean i can't lie, cheat or fight. It just mean I know how to work the school system to get good results.

Equally, we cannot say that people with bad results are necessary bad, that they will steal and fight and do all sorts of bad things.
Also, what is an image of a good student? SO what if they dress slopply. Does that mean a good result student cannot have other dress sense. This is what is wrong with society i think, all too often people just look on the surface of stuff, ok here is a clean look smart looking person, handsome too and judge the person as good thou he may be a pevert or serial killer. A person who dress sloppily maybe be a genius. I feel that society placed too much emphasis on dress. If there is no such constraints, so much more resources can be saved if we don't need to wear tie or jacket, or leather shoes. Just what we feel comfortable in.

Damn right.

To Despondent,

What counts is your substance.Furthermore, students are students, does it hurt you to see them have a little way with creativity in how they wear their uniform?Does it cause you sleepless nights?

Oh they're so sorry ...Now we were all young once, so stop complaining and get on with life.

It affects the schools image

No discipline

I know some of them fold up their skirt at the waist area to look like a mini. To get attention and show off their beauitful legs. In school, skirt has to be near the knee level but outside school.... in the middle of their thighs. Rolling Eyes

I personally feel that it is a very creative way of dressing for students to make something that everyone is wearing stand out in its own style. I used to do it too during my sch days and i certainly have no problems with it. Mr. Green

Dear despondent

Firstly, the students have the right to choose how to wear their uniform after school. It doesn't matter how he/she wears it because ultimately it depends on his/her attitude and opinion about school. He/she will also be responsible for that act.

Secondly, you mentioned rules.... School rules only applies during school hours and events. But studying outside after school hours is NOT a school event! So how can the student be liable for that rule? Furthermore, that is his/her private life. If the school tries to control what they do outside school, then that might result in false imprisonment!

Proper attire with bad results

or

Untidy attire with good results

Very Happy

Libertarian SG

I agree, when i'm outside school. I'm not within the school's jurisdiction as i'm not on the school's property. Therefore school rules dosent apply to me when i step out of the school gate.

stellazio SG

bill gates doesn't seem to like wearing suits..but do people comment on his dressing?? Laughing
