Uniforms at Eastern Middle?
Over in Gibsonville, the leadership of Eastern Middle is considering a plan to require students to wear uniforms. The proposal is based on Aycock Middle's Standard Mode of Dress, which was adopted for the 2004-05 school year.
The uniforms would consist of polo- or dress-style shirts and either slacks or skirts. It's not like the Catholic school uniforms you see in movies. Principal Joe Ferrell says he believes that a standard mode of dress would improve student behavior. But he also says he won't adopt this policy without buy-in from the parents.
A community meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at the school.
So what do you think? Is this a good idea? And if we have any Aycock parents out there, how has this worked at your school?
