    Not really no.

    It comes from being distracting.

    The point of school is learning, not fashion, not looking good.

    Honestly this is why school uniforms are such a good idea. Cuts out the ambiguity of a dress code.

      Point of school is learning, yes. And fashion and looking good is also a part of learning, and expressing yourself, and attracting like minded individuals to build friendships, etc.

      Boys should be taught to control themselves if someone nearby is “distracting”, hey another thing they can learn at school. Teach kids how to be adults, not just algebra.

      Except anything can be distracting and there’s a certainly a reason why the school girl outfit has so many sexy versions and lingerie. School uniforms are a terrible idea for many reasons. You generally can’t buy then second hand, low income families now need two sets of clothing for their kids, and it is possible to buy “higher quality” ones from places like Macy’s.

        Obviously the schools should provide them.

        On the other hand if there’s enough open market that you can buy them at Macy’s, there’s no reason you’d be any less able to buy second-hand uniforms than any other clothing.

        So the options are:

        • You have to buy them from the school. That sucks.
        • They’re provided by the school. Now the poor kids are actually equal to the richer kids.
        • You can buy anything that adheres to the right dress code, and that’s your “uniform”. In this case there’s nothing stopping them from buying them second hand.

        The only failure mode then is when you have to buy them from the school, at which point poor families are more put upon … assuming the uniforms are more expensive than other clothes. But it’s the same with textbooks, sports equipment, etc.

        What do you think would be a sensible dress code? Or would you say that all dress codes are bad?

        I’m just curious. I don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other.

          You’re being downvoted because questions that might lead to a person changing their mind, if they honestly engaged with the question, are considered mind tricks by some people.

          “Oh the earth is flat? Why do you suppose you’ve never seen a picture of the edge then?”

      I tell you what would REALLY help me not get distracted at school, if the girls had to wear burqas.

      Then us fellas don’t need to worry about learning self control or mental discipline. It’s win win! By which I mean, two wins for men.

      I only agree with you because I could stare at the ass of a girl I used to have in my class all day. And I know for a fact I wasn’t the only one.

      Uffff but yhe that’s still my fault and my bad, I shouldn’t be asking her to wear more clothes so I can focus

        A uniform doesn’t stop that through, someone who is distracted by girls will continue to be distracted by girls no matter what they are wearing. Same goes for the other way around.

            Right on man. Yeah most folks get a little distracted but keep it together.

            For me, History class, the prettiest girl in the school and one of the sweetest. Green eyes like emeralds. Could’ve just started at her all day but she sat behind in the row over so it would’ve been kinda obvious lol. Also I wanted to pass lol. I still remember her from time to time.

            Best wishes in school.
