First of all having to wear school uniforms doesn’t allow individuality.  Of course individuality is a very important thing for kids.  Kids should be allowed to show their individuality in schools.  I for one think that it would be boring having to dress the same as everyone else.  I’m sure that most kids would agree with me that having to wear uniforms is boring.  Another example is that it shows who you are.  Just imaging walking into a school where everyone around you are in uniforms.  You won’t be able to tell what type of person they are because they are all dressed the same as each other.  Wearing uniforms really doesn’t show who you are.  When kids have to wear uniforms it’s not only a disappointment to kids but also to parent because how expensive buying uniforms are.  Uniform tops cost $26.99, uniforms bottoms cost $34.99 or $44.99, pullovers cost $39.99 and vest cost $35.99.  That is just for an elementary school.  For example, kids are sometimes careless with their clothes.  If they get them stained or dirty then there parents have to spend more money on uniforms.  My brother has to wear a uniform and he gets it stained or he grows out of them a couple of times a year so my mom and dad have to go out and buy new ones.  Another example is that you have to pay that price.  What I mean by that is that there are never sales.  My mom has to buy uniform and when she comes home my dad asks how much it cost and it is always very expensive.  Also some people can’t afford to buy uniforms for school.  Some people may not even be able to go to school because of how expensive having to buy uniforms is.  That is not fair to the kids who want to go to school and get a good education but can’t because of how expensive uniforms are.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
