Ever wonder how you can sleep in later, not have to constantly worry about being in dress code, AND not have to stress over what to wear every day? What if we told you that this is all possible with one thing: uniforms. Personally, we think that uniforms would be beneficial to all students, faculty, and staff members, and parents.

Students would get to save time every morning because they wouldn’t have to pick out their outfits every day. This could result in sleeping in later or spending more time on other aspects that go into getting ready in the morning. By wearing uniforms, there would be no room for comparison between students because everyone would be wearing the same thing. Students can form opinions about their peers based on their personality rather than judging them based on what they are wearing. In addition, students would not have to worry about being dress coded as much. Sometimes it could be hard to focus throughout the day because of the outfit you are wearing, but with uniforms, the distraction of your clothes would go away and the focus would change to learning and academics. 

Along with students, faculty and staff will be relieved of the pressure that is associated with their duty to dress code. If all students are dressed similarly, they do not have to focus on the length of shorts or “distracting” leggings or “inappropriate” shoulders showing. 

Parents will be able to save money with school uniforms. Back to school shopping won’t be a stressful mess and you might even be able to keep the same uniform throughout your four years of high school; all it takes is a quick trip online to purchase exactly what you need. BSM could provide the uniforms in the spirit shop or online so that purchases could be charged straight to the students’ tuition. 

Although uniforms are a good idea for the BSM community, students should be able to express themselves through various accessories such as shoes, socks, jewelry, etc. Now, we are not saying what the uniforms should be, but we think that if they were to make us wear something like a white polo and blue pants with no other options or use of accessories; there would be an uprising. If BSM were to simply pick a basic shirt and the option between pants, shorts, or skirts of one color and gave students the chance to spice it up how they want, many students will accept the idea.
