 * 2. Our Opinion Speaks - 6th and 7th Graders Speak Out**
 * **School Lunches**
 * **School Uniforms**
 * William Hall Academy students speak their mind about the uniform policy that many schools have adopted across our state and nation. Some say that a child in a school uniform is more likely to take school seriously. Putting on the school uniform signals he or she is going to school just like dad dresses up to go to work. Schools report that when students dress in "work clothes" rather than "play clothes" they take a more serious approach to their studies. Many think that school uniforms help maintain school discipline, decreasing the amount of discipline problems. Schools report that school uniforms decrease fighting and violence that arise out of arguments over fashionable clothes. Children invariably tease those who do not have trendy clothes. Those who can't afford name brand clothes are often sensitive about their clothing. Schools struggling with gang problems report that school uniforms help ease tensions. Our students have their own opinion. Tune in to hear their side and thoughts about wearing school uniforms as middle schoolers.
