Westwood Middle School AVID site |
Recently, there has been quite the kerfuffle about the new Westwood Middle School hoodies that are available to purchase. I've heard you loud and clear and feel that we could use a little more clarification on what a uniform actually does for our school.
This week you will be researching the pros and cons of having a school uniform and will use your findings in a Philosophical Chairs discussion on Thursday. As you conduct your research, really look at both sides of the argument. What are the claims? What evidence does the author have to support their claims? What reasoning do they give that their evidence supports the claim? Remember, your arguments need strong evidence! Use the following lists of websites as a start to research this topic to create your own claims for the upcoming philosophical chairs discussion. You are welcome to conduct your own research as well - just remember to use reputable sources! Your findings should be recorded on Cornell Notes and the Philosophical Chairs Greatschools.org: Do uniforms make schools better? The Perspective: The Perspective on School Uniform ProCon.org: Should Students Have to Wear School Uniforms? University of West Florida: School Leaders and the Uniform Debate The New Yorker: The Downside of School Uniforms The Guardian: What's the ponit of school uniforms?

I feel like we shouldn't have school uniform because then students don't get to express heir feelings through what they wear and I believe that students should be able to personalize themselves and wear what they want as long as it's school appropriate or non-violent.
