OH NOOO!!!!UNIFORMS

I disagree with president Clinton's quote because,students should be able to wear whatever they want.Uniform's don't solve all problems that the supporter says it does.It doesn't matter if you do wear uniform's students do still fight with each other.

Just like in "Say no to school uniforms"students will still follow fashion trend's even if they can't wear clothes in class.In"First impressions"when Patrice said"You cannot change the way i look" so they can't change the way we look either.No one can change the way we want to look .

President Clinton's quote says"Public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms"I don't think that's good since school uniforms cost so much money and since you need to buy gym or dance clothes that cost twice as much some families can't afford that.

As a student I would make a campaign to stop school uniforms not just in New York everywhere because there can be students that doesn't want school uniforms either.

First Impressions

One passage i would use from "First Impressions"would be "Even if your clothes are spotless,if they're wrinkled,you'll look like slob , people will automatically think your are a slob, with nothing worthwhile to say.I guarantee they won't even bother trying to get to know you." This can support my essay because,if your clothes are wrinkled than people will think that you are a slop.
