At all times, students had to wear uniforms. Previously, it was not always convenient and was often bought several sizes larger, which, of course, could cause indignation of children. And modern school looks are quite stylish and comfortable. So why do high school students begin to oppose centuries-old norms?
English story
Kira Mitchell is a girl from Arkansas who had to endure oppression from the school’s leadership regarding her outfit. Once a girl came to a lesson in a plaid skirt. For this, the teachers of the educational institution called her to their carpet and reported her for an inappropriate appearance. They caused their anger by the fact that the skirt is too short. But Kira did not think that she did something provocative, and decided to conduct an experiment. The next day, her friend came to the lesson in the same skirt. She walked around the school and tried to be seen by all the teachers. But no one paid attention to her "short" skirt. This caused indignation among young people, and Kira Mitchell decided to create a social movement. She called him Pass the Skirt.
Movement Pass the Skirt
The idea of this association is the struggle for justice and equality at school in relation to the dress code. According to the girl, teachers find fault only with those who stand out from the crowd. So, black and full schoolchildren are particularly oppressed by the school leadership. The situation faced by Kira led her to severe depression. Due to the quibbles of teachers, high school students began to chuckle at her. The girl struggled hard with her depression, and one of the solutions to this problem was the creation of the Pass the Skirt movement. So she began to struggle with obscure standards at Arkansas school institutions. This trend turned out to be quite successful and discussed in social networks. As a result, the school leadership invited the girl to a round table, where they discussed all her wishes and recommendations on changing the attitude of teachers to the children's dress code. The girl also became a member of the local committee. And now she has the ability to act, and not just talk about the problem.

Case from a Russian school
Children in high school are constantly striving for self-expression and attract attention to themselves. Girl Zina dyed her hair a pale pink color, since now it is very fashionable. The tenth grader did not want to cause aggression on the part of the school leadership or to get into a conflict situation. As a result, the head of the educational institution invited her to her office and said that she would not allow her, and another girl, painted red, to the lessons until her parents came to the gymnasium and the young people brought themselves into proper form. Zina wrote about her situation to her mom. Nadezhda said that her daughter asked for a written order of removal and soon arrived at school. It is worth noting that this educational institution has recently received full autonomy and now all decisions here are made by the local administration. But, when Nadezhda suggested that the issue be discussed at a general council, only representatives of the gymnasium leadership came to the conversation. There was no one from the parent committee, the student community, or the supervisory board. Thus, we can talk about uncontrolled self-government in this educational institution. By the way, Zina is not the only girl with dyed hair. But for some reason, the teachers let down the "dogs" only at her, although according to the dress code all the girls should be with natural hair color. As for the advice, nobody especially wanted to listen to Hope. The teachers refused to collect all the representatives and find out whether Zina’s actions harm the people around her. As a result, the gymnasium did not comment on the situation, and the girl was allowed to attend classes.

Public attitude to this situation
This situation received publicity on social networks, and it turned out that a similar problem is relevant for many educational institutions. Parents began to ask for help and ask how they can cope with such a situation. Zina's mom asks everyone not to be afraid and act. She does not encourage excessive shocking, but if the children want to express themselves through a new hairstyle or an unusual outfit, then let them do it. Better than drinking and smoking in the doorways. Teachers, by the way, also supported Natalya. Young teachers noted that they were also attacked by representatives of the past generation. They are scolded for overly tight trousers and stylishly colored hair. By the way, after a heated discussion of the situation with Zina, it turned out that this gymnasium was always distinguished by excessive rigor. So, once the boy forgot the shift, and he was given the condition: either he goes home and misses the lesson (in which he should pass the exam), or he goes to the lesson barefoot. The guy chose the second option. In this way, the school showed its limitations and inability to understand and hear its students.
School uniform - two sides of the coin
Children have always expressed reluctance to wear school uniforms. The reason for this is their desire to express themselves. Many parents support this idea and allow their children to wear unconventional clothes for classes. But still more people are in favor of school uniforms. And the reason for this is the alignment of children in terms of living, as well as accustoming to order. With regard to equality, this means that the children from poor families have only jeans and a pair of blouses, while in wealthier families children spoil numerous outfits. As a result, some overwrite the only things at the desk, while others boast of new products every day. Also, the lack of a uniform uniform leads to the fact that children wear the clothes to school in which they then go for walks. It turns out that they come to visit in blouses with worn sleeves and trousers shiny from the chair. Not very aesthetically pleasing?
