//Denial of self-expression// Students need to be encouraged to embrace their individualism, and uniforms deny that self-expression. According to opponents of uniforms, even preschoolers should have input into their wardrobe, and the need to encourage personality confidence and independence grows more important as the student becomes older. Without the outlet of expression in their clothes, students may turn to inappropriate hair styles, jewelry, or make-up. =="Quit dictating to us what my child should wear." government is intruding into our private lives, roles as parents and the lives of our children == =="The Board Voted And All I Got Was This Lousy Uniform," and "I Miss My Real Clothes." ==

"Clothes are a source of expression for children, and as kids get older, they become increasingly resentful of uniforms."

"By instituting a uniform policy, schools are taking away kids' individuality -- schools need to decide if that sacrifice is worth making."
