What is your overall opinion of this article?  How do you feel about being a guinea pig for this initiative?  What responsibilities does the senior class have to success of mobile devices in education?  Is this a good thing?

I think the article is full of bull. Its not true students can still go on youtube, facebook, and twitter and they do not have a block on it. I understand that the Tablets are suppose to be used for educational proposes but the students are not using them in that way.

Tell us how you feel about the school Dress Code. What is your opinion on School Uniforms?  Why do you think it is necessary or unnecessary to wear school uniforms?  Do you think that students are reacting properly to mandatory school uniforms? What do you think is the effect of mandatory school uniforms?
What suggestions do you have to improve the Uniform/Dress Code at East Orange Campus High School?

The school dress code is a way to elicit unity in students by making them wear similar clothes. The dress code is a good way to reduce competition in students regarding what clothes they wear. It maybe acceptable for younger kids, but the majority for high school students abhor wearing uniform. They enjoy showing their personality from the clothes they wear. 


School Uniforms may be a good way to control kids but there should be certain days we can wear casual clothes. That day can be a Friday where its the end of the week. Students are reacting properly to mandatory school uniforms. Its difficult to change from wearing your favorite clothes to looking like the other students in the school.


The effects of mandatory school uniforms are students finding ways to get around the school uniform. some positive effects can be less attention on what you wear and more attention on your education. Or maybe not. Ultimately students want to be themselves.
