How To survive middle school: Uniforms

     Now this post may not apply to everyone, because not every school has to wear unifroms. However almost every school that does not have uniforms has some kind of dresscode.

     Now some schools will be very strict when it comes to uniforms and dresscodes and other schools only have a dresscode because they have too. Your job is to figure out which kind of school your school is. So on your first day go in wearing everything the dresscode calls for if it calls fro polka dot socks wear them. Take a look at the older kids and if they aren't following the dresscode then don't sweat it. Chances are they have been here for a while and know what to expect from the teachers.

     

     Now the great debate: To have uniforms or to not have uniforms? now remember this is my OPINION and it doesn't have to be yours. Now I'm pretty neutral when it comes to uniforms. I personally love having a uniform because i don't have to spend an hour trying to pick out what to wear. But it would be nice to not have a uniform because I would be able to wear what I want that shows my personality. I really like having a uniform because it's easier and more functional but again you are entitled to whatever your opinion might be.
     Now this subject is not so fun. Uniform violations, the consequence for violating dress code or uniform policies. Here's a little trick I learned to get out of something small like the wrong colored socks or no belt. When you walk by and see that a teacher may be looking at your purple socks simply don't make eye contact and just act like it's normal. If it doesn'r phase you it won't phase them. Althought this may not work for everyone it has worked for me 3 years solid. Best way to get out of trouble is to act innocent and don't give them a reason to get you in trouble.
