School Uniforms?

A couple weeks ago someone suggested to our school board that they institute school uniforms for our students.
So I thought this would be a good opportunity for a language arts experience for my students as well as a way to gather some input from those that would be most effected by the school board's decision. And another nice way to use technology. So I set up a blog on my classroom website. To get to the blog just click on the word blog. Keep in mind that most of the comments are my 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade students with several posts submitted by older brother and sisters, a few parents, a couple teachers, the school board president, and an older former school board member (the "mysterious Kevin W." as my kids refer to him). I do have very stringent rules about posting - after all this is a language arts activity. And if a student has errors in his/her post I take the opportunity to edit with the student. All posts require my approval before they become visible. No slang - no slams - no cute CUL8R text - no calling someone else's comments "stupid". So far there are 230 posts and some of them are pretty good. I dare you to figure out who the 3rd grader is and who is a 6th grader. If you want to see the rest of my class website just go to http://jmemmott.oberlinschools.org/. And, by the way, it is pretty obvious what my students feel about the school uniform idea - can't tell you how many exclamation marks have been deleted during the editing process!
