Answer 1

Hello im Bryan but u can call me moose or cech, im 12 years old from milwuakke Wisconsin and am hispanic, and today ill talk to u about the hisory of school uniform.

The subject of implementing the use of school uniforms into public schools has been circulating for years, gaining momentum during the late 1980's and increasing steadily throughout the early 1990's.

The movement has received several boosts in the last year or two, the biggest being President Clinton's endorsement of the use of school uniforms during his State of the Union Address in January of 1996. Concerning student safety, he said: "If it means teenagers will stop killing each other over de-signer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require students to wear school uniforms." He has since touted the idea during speeches around the country, emphasizing that "we must get violence out of our schools, and we must put discipline and learning back in our schools". Support also came through a voice vote from the National Association of Secondary School Principals during their national conference in February, 1996.

Answer 2

Uniforms are a very modern idea and the first examples date to the 1500s. Early examples were worn by the Swiss Guards at the Vatican in 1506, by the Yeomen of the Guard in London in 1520, by Spanish Noble Guards in 1646 and by French Mousquetaires du Roi in 1657.

In 1506 armies were still dressed in civilian clothes with every soldier looking different to every other soldier, although coloured sashes or ribbons might be used to indicate which side a man belonged to.

For national armies (as opposed to the elite guard units mentioned above), uniforms first appeared in the 1660s during the Dutch wars, with France adopting pale grey coats and Britain using red coats for the first time.
