ReplyDelete2. Equality is the best way to go.
3. The pie charts explain how kids react to wearing school uniforms. 11% of the kids in grades K-5 got more competitive about their clothing, 43% got less competitive about their clothing, and 46% of them weren't affected in any way. And with kids in grades 6-8, 8% got more competitive about clothing, 57% got less competitive about clothing, and 35% of them weren't affected in any way. This shows that most kids aren't affected or they care less about what other kids wear.
These charts support the pro side of the argument. 50% of kids got less competitive about clothing. Only 9.5% of kids got more competitive about clothing. And it didn't make a difference to 40.5% of the kids. That means that 90.5% of all the kids either weren't affected or got less competitive.

ReplyDelete2. The lesson learned is that kids will always be compared to each other by how they dress.
3. School uniforms will make it less of a competition to dress the best in school. Yes you will always be compared to the other kids in school by how you look, but you will all be wearing the same clothes. The 6-8 grade students understand how much you will get judged on how you dress. Having school uniforms will make students feel more accepted and cool. The uniforms will make it difficult for someone to judge you on how you look. There will be less judgmental people in school with uniforms. When you have the freedom to dress how you want you can get in trouble. With the uniforms you will have an easier morning because you already know what you have to wear the next day. Students understand that the way they dress will influence how people treat you, and act around you. If you wear the same thing as everyone else than everybody will act normal around each other and maybe treat each other the same way.

ReplyDelete2. You can think what you want.
3.The chart on the left has six grades in that poll which means they have a bigger population. But that does not change the fact that they can still choose whatever they want. Less competitive could mean that you don't have to make a big deal of what you are wearing the next day for school because you already have an outfit. But most people would love to pick out what they want to wear to school and I would have to agree that I would not want to wear school uniforms and that it's less competitive.
These graphs explain that they are on the con side. When you add the "less competitive number" on both graphs it equals 100%. But when you add " more competitive numbers" on both graphs it's only 81%. Even though not a lot of people would want to be able to pick out there own clothing it would be less competitive if our school had to wear school uniforms.

ReplyDelete2. Kids a competitive.
3. The graph on the left shows what kids kindergarden through fifth grade think about school uniforms and how they affect people. 46% of kids of that age group said that uniforms dont make a difference in competitiveness. 43% said that uniforms make kids less competitive of their clothing. The graph on the right shows kids sixth through eighth grade and what they think about school uniforms. 57% said that uniforms make clothing less competitive because everyone is wearing the same thing. 35% said that uniforms dont make a difference.
Both of these charts would probably support wearing school uniforms because both of them have a high percentage of people saying that uniforms would make wearing clothing less competitive. There is a very low percentage of people saying that school uniforms would make it less competitive. So if schools looked at these charts they would probably make the kids wear uniforms so kids could focus more on school and not how they look.
I dont think that school should make kids wear uniforms because kids should have the right to wear what they want to school.
1. Joshua Helm/2-6-12/MW2
ReplyDelete2. No matter what, at the end of the day as long as there are two people around they will want to compete.
3. These Charts show School with uniforms the 1st chart shows K-5 with uniforms and they seem it doesn't make a difference. Now 6-8 It makes them less competitive about clothing with 57%. The more competitive is always a small percentage.
These Charts, in a debate would be pro for uniforms. Because it severely shows that uniforms make kids less competitive or even not affected are probably the percentage of kids who don't care. It shows that uniforms are a way to end clothes' competitions between kids.
1. Matt Pankow 2-6-12 MW2
ReplyDelete2. A single change could make a huge impact.
3.Having school uniforms could be a good things for some students and it could be bad for others. Without uniforms us kids have a choice to pick what we want to wear and be creative with our outfits. If we were to have school uniforms where would are creativity go? Without creativity it would show in our school work, our everyday life and even when were at home. 57% is showing that clothing would be less competitive if everyone was wearing the same clothes, which is true in my book but some students like the 35% say it would not make a difference. I know that with school uniforms less kids would get made fun of because of there clothing because of the people who are making fun of them are wearing the same thing. The stats show.
The graphs in the picture are obviously supporting uniforms because of the percentage of students that believe that the uniforms would make the school a better place. Also they would be supporting pro because of the small percentage of the kids that think that with uniforms the kids would be more competitive. The reason why the graphs are on the pro side because of the huge percentage kids who believe that uniforms are better. having uniforms might be better but with that your giving up there creativity again. Kids need to live a life, don't keep them trapped in these uniforms. Let everyone live a life, even if the slightest changes are made. Let them be kids.

ReplyDelete2. K-5 love to be competitive about things like clothing.
3. The two pie charts are about if there are school uniforms. The numbers represent the percent of the people who thought it didn't make a difference or not. 57% and 43% (green right and green left) thought it was less competitive. 35% and 46% thought it didn't make a difference. 11% and 8% thought it was more competitive.
These charts would be on the pro side because it is all for school uniforms. School uniforms would mean that there won't be any competition between school clothes. Nobody would have to worry about what they will to school the next day. 6-8 don't care if they have to wear school uniforms because there would be less competition. They won't have to worry about what they are gonna wear to school the next day because they already know what they are gonna wear.

ReplyDeleteGrades K-5 are tied between does and doesn't make a difference.
11% of grades K-5 are more competitive about clothing when it comes to school uniforms. 43% say they are less competitive about clothing. Majority vote that it doesn't make a difference weather they are wearing a school uniform or not. 8% for grades 6-8 say they are more competitive about clothing. 35% say it just doesn't matter, but most votes lead to less competitive about clothing. Between the two charts grades K-5 majority says that it doesn't matter but majority of votes for 6-8 say they are less competitive with clothing. This chart tells me that the older you are you become more into your fashion then when you where younger.
Say if you where in a debate and you where all for school uniforms, would you pick the grades K-5 or 6-8? No, you wouldn't pick the grades 6-8 why? Because the chart for grades 6-8 are saying they don't like school uniforms it makes them less competitive with fashion. What if you where Con? You would pick grades threw 6-8 right? Of course, but what you wouldn't pick is K-5, why? Because the chart for K-5 is saying they don't really care, it doesn't matter. Now that wouldn't even be a good chart for a Pro, because "doesn't matter" isn't a solid and good response to try and influence a crowd. In conclusion Pro would try to support chart K-5 and Con would support chart 6-8.
1. Kira D'Agostino 2/6/12 MW2
ReplyDelete2. Making it easy. I chose this saying because the maybe the kids are competitive to look cute or be in the fashion with uniforms it makes everything easy.
3. The pie charts show that kindergarten through fifth that uniforms don't really matter and that makes sense because they are just there to have fun they don't care what they look like. Most kids of that age group probably have parents who dress them. Older kids actually care about what they are going to wear maybe a little to much. It is obvious why the rate of competitiveness is greater because girls of all people are the most when it comes to clothing. They have to look that best have the latest styles and want to be looked at as the best. Boys don't care as much and probably wear things more than twice. It is a tough situation you wouldn't understand unless your a girl!
This chart to me supports Pro. Why? If you look you can tell that it is saying that teenagers are less competitive and some don't even care. I believe in school uniforms it makes things simple and not hard to figure out. You don't have to miss that bus because all your clothes are already picked out for you. Yes, they can have a certain lackluster to them but they still are more affordable then most jeans that teens wear. Then again some people may argue that it doesn't let that person truly show who they are. It can be difficult because some teens do abuse the concept of an outfit like to low cut jeans or a strapless shirt. Uniforms solve that problem! A lot of teens said it didn't matter. It shouldn't, it should not be an hour long job. Do I agree with its dulness? Yes! It can make a more efficient look to the schools and better yet you won't have to constantly fight in the morning over the jeans you should wear.

ReplyDelete2. The same can be good. (Used by my grandma)
3. These are two pie charts that explain how uniforms would affect kids at school. The first chart represents a survey for grades K-5, where the majority said that it didn't matter. The second pie chart was for grades 6-8. Over half of the 915 kids of that votes that kids would be less competitive if there were school uniforms. There would be less to worry about!
You see, when kids go to school they want to look good or if their friend will wear the same thing they will. If we had uniforms, the school would change. Less worry about... the matching of shirts, and bullying would possibly go down too! But, people have to remember that as kids our age, most of us want to be able to choose what to wear! If we had uniforms a lot of people, including me, wouldn't like it. I would be a con on this debate. I wouldn’t use these charts though. They show that school uniforms would be better than keeping it the way it is.
1. Malorie Moen 2/6/12 MW2
ReplyDelete2. School uniforms help kids be less competitive about their clothing.
3. The pie charts show if kids think that their school uniforms make them more or less competitive about their clothing. The majority of kids from kindergarten through fifth grade say that the it doesn't make a difference. That shows that they don't care if they had school uniforms or not. The majority of kids from sixth to eighth grade say that uniforms make them less competitive about their clothing. That shows that they are less worried about their clothing, and they don't have to worry about anyone wearing the same thing.
The charts support the pro side of a debate. 57% of the kids from 6th-8th grade were less competitive about their clothing. School uniforms would help kids be less competitive about their clothing. In the grades K-5, it could be used on the pro side, or the con side. It didn't make a difference to 46% of the kids, so the school uniforms wouldn't help them in any way.
1. Halle Chiarelli MW2 2-6-12
ReplyDelete2. Even if you look the same as someone, you are still your own person on the inside.
3. These charts are explaining the affect that a school uniforms have on children. The data shows that children who are in grades from K-5, they care more about the clothing and are more competitive. While kids in 6-8 are less competitive about what they are wearing. Also kids in grades K-5 they don't care as much as it affects them less.
These charts are on the pro side. They are one the pro side because they are showing that many more kids care less about what they are wearing rather than caring about what they are wearing. Even though the first chart is showing that many children K-5 are more competitive and don't care more than the kids in the second chart, when you add all of the data up it comes out to an outcome to show that many of the kids don't mind and are less affected.
1. Mikal LaButte 2/6/12 MW2
ReplyDelete2. Kids are less competitive about clothing.
3. By looking at the graphs in k-5 for most of the kids it doesn't make a difference for them then the other majority it makes them less competitive about clothing and the least amount makes them mor competitive on clothing. For grades 6-8 over half of the 915 people that voted said that it makes them less competitive on their clothing. Then we move a little bit down and we see that 35% of the people that voted it doesn't make a difference for them and if we go way down from the 35% we come to a tiny 8% that makes them more competitive on clothing.
If someone would use this topic in a debate the Pro would be for the uniforms and the Con would be against the uniforms. For example the pro would start out like this. I think that uniforms would be a good thing because then kids would not be wearing some of the bad clothes like some kids do today. Con well i think that school uniforms are stupid because I think that kids would get sick and tired of wearing the same thing for all 180 days of school. Plus if they only give you 1 set of the uniform every night your parents need to get every thing washed and ready for the next day for you to wear it to school and I think that doing that for 180 days straight would get pretty boring and tiring so school uniforms are a bad thing to have.

ReplyDelete2. The younger you are in your childhood/teenage years, the less you care about looks.
3. In the two pie charts there are differences. The pie chart of the K-5 grades had more votes to the no difference side to the less competitive side. The 5-8 grades had more votes for the less competitive side to the the no difference side. But then the more competitive side was around the same percentages on the two pie charts.
This picture of the two pie charts would support the pro side. This would help the pro side because with school uniforms the kids would be less competitive about how they look compared to other. This would help kids staying focused in school and not being distracted of how they look to others. Lots of kids would probably do better in school if they had school uniforms because of the distractions.
1. Sammy Sutton, 2-6-12, MW2
ReplyDelete2. Small things can lead to big ideas.
3. The pie chart shows that the most precent of students either think that the uniforms make them feel less competitive, or it doesn't make a difference if they have school uniforms. Only a small percent of students say that uniforms make things more competitive. So basically getting uniforms would be pointless, think about it; some of the percentage of students feel less confident about the uniforms, and the other present don't really care for uniforms.
Uniforms being less competitive would be the pro, and uniforms not making a difference would be con. I believe that pro on uniforms being less competitive would have a lot of students strongly agreeing. Personally, I wouldn't feel as comfortable and confident in a uniform; we're so used to our own unique styles of how we dress, I don't think we should have that taken away from us, but some others have there own reasoning for not caring if they have uniforms or not. It might be easier for students to just get up in the morning and just putting on a uniform, rather than searching for something to wear. Also, people will all have the same outfit, so there's no room to judge each other.
Everyone has a different opinion of expressing their style, are you willing to fight for what you believe in?

ReplyDelete2. LL: School uniforms are good
3. The two pie charts above explane school uniforms and how they can make kids more competitive or less competitive about clothes. The first show kindergarden through fifth grade. only 43% of the kids were less competitive about clothes and the rest were either more competitive or said it didn't make a difference. The second pie chart show about 57% of the kids were less competitive and the rest were either more competitive or said it didn't make a difference. The second pie chart was based on 6 through 8 and I would say that it affected a good amount of people.
These pie charts would be good to debate someone on. It would provide information for the pro. The pro could use these to show that almost half of each group they interviewed were effected positively. School uniforms made about half the kids less competitive about clothes. The school uniforms made kids less competitive and thats what they were made to do.
Riley Hafner MW2 6/2/12
ReplyDeleteLL- Depending on grade and age, clothing has different impacts on kids.
These two pie charts show what kids think about school uniforms. On the left, the charts is showing the data from kids grades K-5 and on the right the chart is showing data from grades 6-8. On the K-5 chart more kids said that uniforms dont really matter to them while on the other chart kids said that uniforms make them less competitie about clothes. One thing i noticed was that you cant really compare these charts because they aren't of the same grades. The opinions of they smaller kids can't really be compared to that of the older kids.
To me uniforms are a bad thing. Yes they save parents money but the problem with them is that they dont let students express their inner self. Kids want to be able to show who they are and without the choice of clothing they wouldn't be able to show people the kind of person they are. The colors and styles all reflect who you are. Would you want to walk around all day in the same thing as everyone else? Uniforms would just make everyone dull and boring. Every single person is unique and maybe to some clothing isn't how they show how unique they really are and thats why they say it doesn't make a difference. There are many different ways to show people who you are but even if you don't know it, you use your clothing to represent you and where you are from and what kind of person you are. Every time you go shopping your brain is saying, "Hey! That looks good. My best friend is probably going to tell me that looks great!" You can't help it. With uniforms you can't be yourself and be out there. It just doesn't work.
1. Payton Rentsch, 2-6-12,mw2
ReplyDelete2. You will always be yourself on the inside, even if you don't look like it on the outside.
3. The two pie charts say that maybe we should have uniforms. Kids in school feel less competitive if they have to ware them and they wil have more focus on school work. If they focus more on school then they will have better grades and better GPA. I believe it would help the kids with learning and they would pay more attention. Kids with uniforms might do better in school because they don't have to worry about what they are waring and if it looks good or not. I think some of the kids would feel more conferrable warring a uniform. These pie charts say that maybe its a good idea to have uniforms.
The chart would be on the pro side because it shows more people would be less competitive about waring uniforms. The chart shows that if kids had to ware uniforms they would feel less competitive. I think if they ware uniforms then their grades will go up. The pro of waring uniforms would be kids wouldn't feel un-conferrable. I think kids should ware uniforms also so that you don't have problems with dress code. I believe that kids should ware uniforms. The carts are on the pro side to ware uniforms.

ReplyDelete2. Whats on the inside is more important then the outside.
3. These pie charts explain very important matters. First that more kids at our age level think that school uniforms with make our clothing less competitive, that is a staggering amount. It shows us that kids aren't as comfortable anymore in just wearing any clothes, that it is a now a competition. Then you have the younger grades votes. We all no that the younger we are the less attention we pay to how we look, so the numbers don't tend to differ. Most of the kids think that it doesn't matter if it's school uniforms or not. The only thing that the graph is lacking is a accurate reading. Only 915 kids from the ages of 6-8 voted, but for the ages of k-5 there is 2,031 kids that vote.
It would go toward the con side. This would because there is no way in telling if these are even reliable results. There isn't even half as much votes from kids 6-8 grade as there is for k-5 grade. This tells you the person providing the answer was trying to sway school uniforms toward the audiences direction. If caught, this could discredit the pro side to the point that non of there facts are that reliable anymore. In order for this grade to have any impact there needs to be equally accurate data.
1. Abby Schoonover MW2 1/6/12
ReplyDelete2. Overall uniforms dont seem to make a huge difference.
3. From K-5 kids seem to be less competitive when wearing a uniform or it just doesn't make a difference to them. When you look at grades 6-8 more than half of the kids said that wearing a uniform doesn't make a difference. I strongly disagree with students having to wear uniforms. These charts show that uniforms do not make a big difference in these kids lives. Kids these days dont even bother to look at what other kids are wearing, they care about themselves and not many others.
These charts would be a good example of a pro when in a debate. These charts show that less kids are competitive about their cloths because of uniforms. It also shows that most kids don't think that uniforms make a difference. They show that younger kids in grades K-5 seem to be more competitive about their cloths than kids in grades 6-8. If I wear in a debate I would be against uniforms (con) but these charts would not be my first resource I would look at.

ReplyDelete2. Our society is giving us the impression that we need to be perfect.
3. The pie chart on the left is from grades K-5. Almost half of the students say that a school uniform doesn't change the competitiveness. In the pie chart on the right, grades 6-8, more than half say that uniforms would make students be less completive about clothing. The percentage for being more competitive on both pie charts is fairly low. This means that most of the students like to be seen as an equal to the rest of their classmates. The 11% and 8% that are more competitive probably want to be unique. They may not like the idea of having the same clothes as someone else and want to strive to be different.
The society is giving off the impression that we need to be perfect. But, we don't. Would you like to wear the same thing everyday? What if you wanted to wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt? You wouldn't be able to. Uniforms take away your rights to be who you are.
Your clothing is a way to express yourself. We are our own personal canvas. Most of the time you don't want to paint a picture with just one color. We need to have the freedom to use what ever paint color we want. I would be con on wearing uniforms but these charts aren't a good way to express my feelings.
1. Henry Haidler, 2/6/12, MW2
ReplyDelete2. Kids can be competitive
3. In this chart the two pie charts show that the majority of people with school uniforms either don't think it makes a difference or that it is less competitive. Only 11% of grades K-5 and 8% in grades 6-8 said that it is more competitive and I really don't think that it would be competitive at all I mean it's not without uniforms. I'm sure that most of the kids don't want to have to wear uniforms but they don't see a more competitiveness in clothing. K-5 had a total of 2,031 kids voting on wether or not competitiveness was a big deal with school uniforms and I think that they really didn't care about what they wore anyway since they are young. Grades 6-8 only had 915 people vote on wether or not it was more competitive and thats way lower than grades K-5 so I think to be more accurate you should have the same amount of people in both sections of the survey.
I think that these charts would support the pro side having uniforms because they only had 915 kids vote on competitiveness in grades 6-8 and the number of students in K-5 that voted were 2,031. Since most of the people just look at pictures and don't read the actual data they probably wouldn't notice the difference in the amount of kids that voted. I think I would have a con but I wouldn't use this graph because it isn't the most accurate one. I think that most of the kids wouldn't want uniforms so they would put down an answer that they would think that would make it change and not be truthful. I think that kids should be who they want to be and wearing the type of clothing they want is their choice and makes them who they are but always remember looks are deceiving and you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

ReplyDelete2. LL: When everyone has to do the same thing, there is less judging going on.
3. In the K-5 Pie chart there is more competitiveness than the grades 6-8 pie chart. The grade 6-8 pie chart shows that the number of competitive students go down, that the no difference goes down, and that the less competitive goes up. This can be good and bad in some ways. Being less competitive can be bad because you lose your competitive edge and there are a lot of people who are competitive. In grades K-5 the chart shows that they are less mature than the people in grades 6-8. There is a 13% increase of people who become less competitive in grades 6-8. Also there is a 3% decrease of people who are competitive about clothing. Last there is a 11% decrease for people who school uniforms don't make a difference for.
These two pie charts are pro for school uniform. They are pro because they show that there is less competitiveness when there are school uniforms about what people are wearing. This could mean that there would be less bullying and that everyone would be the same, so less judging and more of being friends. Although you could make an argument for this pie chart being con, I believe that there are more reasons why it is pro. Another reason why these pie charts support pro is because some people don't care if there are school uniforms. This is good because they couldn't make fun of other people because they are wearing the same thing.
1. Seth Packard, 2/6/2012, MW4
ReplyDelete2. Differences create conflicts
3. In K-5 kids feel like school uniforms does not make a difference in competitiveness. 46% of the kids agree that school uniforms don't make a difference. 43% of the kids believe that it makes kids less competitive. And 11% of the kids think that it makes things more competitive. In the 6-8 group, the kids think that it makes things less competitive. 57% of the kids think that it makes things less competitive. 35% of the group believe that school uniforms does not make a difference. And 8% of the students think that it makes things more competitive.
These graphs would support more pro than con. A majority of the kids believe that it will help them. Well over half of the group thinks it ether assists or does not make a difference. 89 out of one hundred kids in the k-5 group think that uniforms will help them, or wont make any difference. only 11 kids in that group disagree. 92 out of one hundred students in the 6-8 group, think that the uniforms will ether help or wont matter, only 8 students are in disagreement. It seems that the data from both sets are in favor of school uniforms.

ReplyDelete2. The older you are, the moe you care.
3. The pie charts and their numbers show that the younger students do not mind having school uniforms, they don't really care. But the grades 6-8 care a lot more, and do not want to have to wear school uniforms. Only 8% wants school uniforms and 57% do not want school uniforms. There opinions on school uniforms have changed a lot too, because 46% of the students didn't care about uniforms. 57% of the grades 6-8 did not like the idea of school uniforms.
This pie chart would support con because the grades above didn't likes the idea of school uniforms. Mainly in the grades k-5 they did not care about uniforms. Students did not want uniforms because students either did not want them, or didn't really care. Barely anyone wanted them, so it would be a con. Students don't like the idea of having to wear the same thing, and not being able to pick what you can wear!

ReplyDelete2. "School Is More Important, Than Clothes"
3. In grades k-5 half say they don't care what clothes they wear and only 11% of them care about what them and all of their friends wear to school and then theres the other half of kids who say they care but not much about what they wear and this makes very good sense because they are only in elementary school. Kid's in grades 6-8 are more careful of what they wear but they are not so serious about what it is they care but then again they don't, then you have the other 35% that doesn't even care about what they wear or what someone else wears to school, also like the elementary school kids they are a little competitive about their clothing
I would say pro because it is a proven fact that when your school requires uniform there is no judgment and no one focus's on your clothing en-stead, they state that people are more focused on school en stead of uniforms I also think both of these charts are pro and con because people that are con to this statement would say no uniforms its your only way to express yourself by dressing, and looking how you want in a formal setting. People who are pro with these charts would say to focus on school is better than focusing on someone else's cloths its the little things that distract students they may not know it but the distractions are there. And I think uniforms are not so bad speaking for myself but i would half to be dead in between the pro and con line of these charts cause there are positives and negatives to them.

ReplyDelete2. Everyone Thinks Differently
3. Develop two paragraphs. In the first paragraph explain the two pie charts and what the numbers have to say about school uniforms. In the second paragraph, explain which side of the argument would these charts support (pro or con) and why.
The chart on the left demonstrates the way people are competitive on school uniforms from grade K-5. On the right chart it demonstrates The competitive levels for school uniforms from grades 6-8. The chart on the left shows that 46% of kids thinks that school uniforms doesn't make a difference. 43% of kids think it makes them a little less competitive on clothing. and 11% of kids thinks that it makes them more competitive. But the chart for the 6th threw 8th grade kids speaks differently. 57% of kids in 6-8 says that they see less in the competitive level of kids for clothes. 8% believe that school uniforms makes them more competitive about clothes, and 35% of kids see no difference in the competitive levels for kids with or without school uniforms.
If you are on the pro side of the debate to have school uniforms, this chart would be great to use. This chart shows that most of the students when the school has uniforms see no difference in the behavior or competitiveness of the students with or without uniforms. You could make a really good case out of the fact that the kids most likely wouldn't see a difference or change in anything with the students in the school.

ReplyDelete2. Many things can unify people, including clothing.
3. The two pie charts compare to groups; grades K-5 on the left and grades 6-8 on the right. The pie chart on the left shows that, with uniforms, 11% of the students are more competitive with their clothing, 43% are less competitive about their clothing, and 46% don't care. The pie chart on the left, grades 6-8, shows that 8% are more competitive about clothing, 35% don't care, and 57% are less competitive.
The 11 and 8 percents of students who said they're "more competitive" probably feel suppressed. They want to be able to express themselves, and having to wear a school uniform makes it hard. The students who voted "less competitive" probably felt more unified and equal to their peers. The ones who said "doesn't make a difference" probably had no competitiveness before or after uniforms were put in place.
This graph would, most likely, be used to promote pro school uniforms. The minority was students who voted "more competitive" and the majority was students who voted "less competitive." I could use this graph as proof that with uniforms in place students don't strive to be better clothed than everyone, which would promote unity. It's all about the numbers. If the majority was "more competitive" it could be used better in a con argument. So, in conclusion, I see this chart as proof for a pro uniforms debate.
However, that is just by looking at the numbers, I've yet to tell my stance on the issue. I'll admit, unity is important, but expressing one's self is just as important, if not more. Children my age, adolescents, they're learning, developing, what kind of person they'll be in the near future. It's important that they get the chance to express themselves, and learn who they are, and if they want to do that by their clothing then all the power to them. Especially in my generation, generally, people are more tolerant and accepting of different/ new people.
How is wearing the same thing Monday through Friday expressing oneself? I really feel I need to borrow this quote from LeAnn Howe's entry, because it is amazing: "We are our own personal canvas. Most of the time you don't want to paint a picture with just one color." I absolutely love that, and it is true. There's more than one color in the crayon box, and we need to use them all to see what color is our favorite.

ReplyDelete2. The older you get the less you care.
The pie charts show the numbers about who thinks in which ways. It shows that the older kids seem to not care as much about what they are waring. The younger kids seem to care a lot more. It shows that the children mature a lot the older they get. 46% of kids thinks that school uniforms doesn't make a difference. 43% of kids think it makes them a little less competitive on clothing. and 11% of kids think that it makes them more competitive. But the chart for the 6th through 8th grade kids say different. 57% of kids in 6 through 8 says that they see less in the competitive level of kids for clothes. 8% believe that school uniforms makes them more competitive about clothes, and 35% of kids have no difference in the competitive levels for kids with or without school uniform.
It seems do be pro or supporting uniforms because it shows a lot of people saying they don't care, or are less competitive. It also says what people think when they have uniforms, if they wanted it to be fair they should have shown what the children said that had uniforms and that did not have uniforms.

ReplyDelete2. Each age has a different culture.
3. These charts represent what kids k-5 think about uniforms and what kids 6-8 think about uniforms. Kids k-5 think that with a uniform there would be more competitive with clothes a percent of 11% students chose that answer. 6-8 students came out with only an eight percent result. Meaning more k-5 students thinks that uniforms would make it harder on the students. Although k-5 students had a result of 46% blue ( does not make a difference) And 6-8 had a result of 35%. Finally green the less competitive category k-5 kids resulted in a 43% and 6-8 kids a 57% over half the vote.
This would represent a pro aspect,the reason being that most students think that if schools put uniforms into play it would make there life easier. They wouldn't have to worry about getting brand names and having the most expensive clothes. They could wake up in the morning and throw on there clothes without taking a lot of time because all of the clothes are the same. The main point would be kids would feel more comfortable at school which would help kids focus on learning.

ReplyDelete2. This shows that people can't be different, we have to be all the same.
3. This chart shows that some people disagree on the matter and some do but this chart also shows that people don't really care. A good amount of people say they wouldn't really want to have school uniforms. Those people say that the clothing would be more competitive and that 11 percent for grades k-5 and the 8 percent for grades 6-8. But most people just don't want them. That should tell the person taking the survey that most people don't really care about the uniforms or some people agree with it.
The survey shows that most people would not mind having uniforms. The chart shows that the survey would be Pro because most people who participated in the survey said that it really doesn't matter or they agree with the uniforms. There is a higher percentage of people who don't mind wearing uniforms. Many people wouldn't care about wearing uniforms so this survey may help the school enforce uniforms. But the problem is what is the small percentage of people who don't want uniforms do?

ReplyDelete2. Everybody is different, but alike.
3. The age difference really changes the perspectives. When you get to be older you take more pride in your appearance and what other people think of you. Saying this, in K-5 46% of them weren't even affected by the decision. But 6-8 grades, 57% said it would make them less competitive in what they wear. Even though it makes them less competitive, there is still 35% of them that don't care about getting uniforms or not. As you can see though, kids in both age groups do have their own opinions and choices they want to make.
Even though I am Con, these charts would show Pro. This is because it is showing that kids will be less competitive in what they wear and be more focused on other school work. Also, on both sides, there is a large sum of students who aren't affected and really don't care whether they get uniforms or not. People are all different. If we are all the same, how can we tell each other apart? Everybody acts a different way and brings something different into the world. Taking clothing choices away would be like taking that persons views and opinions away, and why we you want that? I understand uniforms show unity and teamwork, but not the whole team shouldn't have to look the same. First our clothes, then what's next? Our faces? Even though some people can't afford the same clothes as everyone else, the rest of us shouldn't be punished for that. Society shouldn't get to decide what you wear. Most people personally take pride in their appearance and want to look their best. When people don't have choices, they get angry and rebel.

ReplyDelete2. I learned that pie charts can be used all over for a lot of things like business,school and a lot more.
3. 57% is showing that clothing would be less competitive if everyone was wearing the same clothes, which is true in my book but some students like the 35%. If we where to have this happen in our school kids parents would have to spend more money,Because they would have to go out and buy more clothes and some would have to buy there children new shoes just for the coleus too.

ReplyDelete2. uniforms dont make that big of a difference.
3. The left side is k-5. almost all the students say that a school uniform wouldn't make a different. then on the right 6-8 think less competitive about clothing. the percent on both side are pretty low about the competitive. so most of they's kids like to be seen equal to each other an not different. but then there is a 8 percent an a 11 percent about being competitive an maybe they don't wanna look the same as others!
The school are trying to take away our rights on what we were? i say that if you wanna were like a sweat shirt if it gets cold you should have that right an not have to were your uniform all day. plus some people are goth if they were they could be who they wanted to be because they would dress how the school wants them to. your clothing is how you express your self. i would be (con) on uniform!! they's charts would not be the first thing I would look at.
1. Cade Marttinen 2/6/12 MW4
ReplyDelete2. Let kids express themselves.
3. These two pie charts explain who wants to wear uniforms and who doesn't. From the K-5 chart, most people (46%) don't care about wearing uniforms. 43% don't want uniforms. 11% want them. From the 6-8 chart, most people (57%) don't want uniforms. Only 8% want uniforms. 35% don't care.
These charts could argue both pro and con for wearing uniforms. The left chart argues for pro about wearing uniforms. Most people want uniforms. The right chart argues for con about wearing uniforms. Most people don't want uniforms. People should have the choice for how they dress. Schools shouldn't take one of our only freedoms away.

ReplyDelete2. Most people are more comfortable not standing out
3. The two pie charts you see up there are the results of what students said about school uniforms. On the left, the results are from 2,031 K-5 students. On the right, the results are from 915, a large drop in amount, 6-8 students. The charts are similar in some parts but also have a difference. These charts show that as you get older, life gets more competitive about clothing. 57%, more than half, of the 6-8th graders said that school would be less competitive about clothing if they had uniforms. 35% also said it wouldn't make a difference. Comparing to the K-5 students, which had 46% say less competitive and 43% say wouldn't make a difference, you can see that even in K-5 you have some competitive students. There is also, 19%(both charts put together) that say school would be more competitive.
These charts would be best used on the pro side because on both sides it shows that majority of students say that it would be less competitive, making them not worry about what they're wearing. While only 19% total say that it would make it more competitive.
1. Cody Musulin 2/7/12 TT2
ReplyDelete2. Everyone wears the same clothing but in different styles.
3. The two pie charts are showing school uniforms, which wants them, who doesn't and who doesn't care. For Grades K-5, 11% want them, 43% don't want them, and 46% don't really care at all. In grades 6-8, 8% want them, 35% don't want them, and 37% don't really care.
This could be argued on both sides (pro and con) if you are generally talking about K-5, a lot of people don't care for them, so they could get school uniforms. In grades 6-8 57% don't want school uniforms. Then if they do get school uniforms the students aren't going to be very happy. Over half of the students don't want them, and 35% don't care. It really depends on the age of who you're defending on school uniforms. You would have a better chance on not getting school uniforms for 6-8. We have a lot of rules in the school about clothing, we shouldn't have to take the whole freedom of wearing our own clothing away.
1. Paige Leatherman 2/7/12 TT2
ReplyDelete2. At Different ages, people have a different perspective on things.
3. In these two charts, people in K-5 don't really care about if they have uniforms or not, in fact 46% of people in those grades don;t really care. 43% of the kids aren't competitive with what they wear, and 11% of the kids care about what they wear and want to have the best clothes. In 6-8 grade, it's a different story. 35% of kids think that having uniforms won't make a difference. 57% of kids don't care what they wear and they don't compete to look the best. Only 8% of kids actually care about what they wear and they want to have the best clothes. These charts show that the older you are you start to not really care about looking the best. On the other hand, younger kids want to look all cute and what not.
These charts would be on the con side. Because the green part of the chart it is “less competitive” and the sum of the less competitive on both charts equals 100%. By it equalling 100% you already know that, that is a true fact and you can use it to make a statement. Now, the “doesn't make a difference” or the blue area in the charts only at up to 81%. With that 81% people aren't going to take your statement very seriously because, thats not a 100% chance of being true. Therefore, these charts are confirmed of being on the con side rather then pro.
1. Marissa Moore 2/7/12 TT2
ReplyDelete2. You need to express yourself
3. In this pie chart, it shows that in the elementary (K-5) grade levels, 43% of people think that a school uniform makes kids less competitive about clothing. 11% say that it makes kids feel more competitive, and 46% say that it doesn't make a difference. The numbers for the middle school level (grades 6-8) we'ren't much different. It said that 35% believe it doesn't make a difference, 57% say it makes it less competitive, and 8% say that it makes you more competitive. It really gives you the idea of what people think, and it's obvious that people think it helps.
With this graph, you could really use it pro or con. I would personally use it for the con side. I'm totally against school uniforms, because I think it's more of a distraction. If people think that uniforms would make kids less competitive, I think they are completely wrong. If kids are wearing the exact same thing as each other, and the same exact thing every day, it would be boring. Kids need to express themselves, no matter how they do it. I'm a dancer, and that's how I express myself, through my dances and choreography. Some kids do it in wrestling, soccer, etc. MANY kids use it as how they express themselves. In elementary school, kids don't really know who they are, let alone do they even know in middle school. Kids use their clothes to show how they are feeling, and just who they are as a person. It helps them figure out who they are, and who or where they want to be in life.

ReplyDelete2. clothing can make a difference in your life
3. The first pie chart for Grades K-5 Is saying that if they had school uniforms that 11% would be more competitive. 46% did not really care that much. And 43% would be less competitive. Grade 6-8 said that 8% of them would become more competitive. and 35% would not care. and that 57% would be less competitive about clothing.
in a debate i would be con with this chart. it might help out the pro but it might not. Because I noticed that the K-5 had about 1100 more votes than grade 6-8. I could use this to cripple his defenses. I could point it out to the crowd. They probably would not like being tricked. This would probably be a bad choice for the pro side. because it does not have an even amount of votes on each side. That could be saying that the Grade 6-8 could be biased.
Gursherveen Kaur, TT2, 7/2/12
ReplyDeleteLL- People from different ages have different impact on clothing.
The pie charts explain how kids react to wearing school uniforms. On the left, the charts is showing the data from kids grades K-5 and on the right the chart is showing data from grades 6-8. On the K-5 chart more kids said that uniforms do not effect them, meanwhile, on the other side of the chart kids said that uniforms make them less concern about clothes. One thing that I noticed was that you cant really compare these charts because they are from different grades that 100 % will give different thoughts and ideas.
I am supporting the Con.In my perspective, the uniforms that students wear today, will show respect and discipline.In addition, they can also represent the school easily which will give an big impact on the school's image.When I was at school at Malaysia, we used to wear a white t-shirt and light blue skirts and boys will wear dark blue pants and a white t-shirt.But I was the school's prefect, I used to wear dark blue skirts and a light blue t-shirt and a black silk tie with the school's logo on it.For prefects they will supply us with name tags (identity cards).Those ties are made out of silk so that they are not very painful.So then if you go to the national choral speaking competition you will have a chance to represent you school will full respect.

ReplyDelete2. Regulations block creativity.
3. This chart represents how regulations could change what kids think about clothes. Ok let's focus on the 5-k graph. This graph mainly represents that in those grades the children aren't really competitive with the way that they dress. The 11% on the graph represents the kids who think that uniforms would make it more competitive. the 46% is the total precent doesn't think that uniforms would change anything. The second chart basically tells us that in junior high kids get competitive and try to look better than the other kids. This fact is seen by the 57% of the kids who think no uniform makes it less competitive.
If I was using this graph I would definitely have to be on the pro side. I would be on the pro side because in junior high the area where most people would focus their attention
this graph clearly states that in junior high kids get more competitive with their clothes. To go along with this graph I would say that this graph tells us that without school uniforms kids can feel excluded.
1. Presslee Reisinger, 2-7-12
ReplyDelete2. It shouldn't matter what you wear.
3. In the graphs, it says that for the K-5 group, it basically didn't really matter about what they wore, because in my opinion, younger kids, don't really care about how they look, and what they have on, as long as it is what they want to wear. But for older kids (6-8), it is different, because as we get older, we start to worry about how we look, and how we act; but mostly about how we look. Most kids in 6-8 grade, are always worried about how they look, and if we had uniforms, I think that kids wouldn't worry about it so much, but I still don't like the idea of uniforms.
I am on the Con side for uniforms. I am completely against schools making kids wear uniforms, because kids should be able to wear what they want to, not be forced to wear something that the majority of us don't like. School uniforms are not a good idea, I mean yes most of us girls worry about how we look, and if our outfit matches, and if everything looks good, and with uniforms we'd be wearing the same boring thing everyday.

ReplyDelete2. Everyone is judgmental.
3. The chart explains how as kids get older the less they seem to care, which is weird. K-5 has 11% saying more competitive about clothing. For 43% they are less competitive about clothing and the other 46% it dosent make a difference. As on the other chart, 6-8 is 8% are more competitive about clothing. 35% dosent make a difference. And the most on the graph 57% is less competitive about clothing.
These charts would say both but more pro about not wearing them. I think that there is both good and bad things about wearing uniforms. If not wearing uniforms I feel like it would give you more freedom. If you dont like wearing skirts then you wouldn't have to. But then with all the school uniforms you can't really judge people that much about anything like that anymore plus not as much drama as if something dosent look good together when it has to be the same with the uniform.
1. Caeley Hendee, 2-7-12, TT2
ReplyDelete2. Kids can be competitive over anything.
3. These numbers show that each kid have their own opinion. (K-5) 11% Kids are more competitive over on what other kids wear. 46% Kids it doesn't make a difference, which they shouldn't in my opinion. 43% Kids are less competitive over clothing. (6-8) 8% are more competitive over clothing which I thought that it would have been the other way around, and that it would have been higher. 57% Kids are less competitive about clothing. The other 35% It doesn't make a difference. This really shows that most kids it doesn't make a difference what other kids wear, in K-5. K-5 Kids a don't even pay attention. It may be a little different between 6-8 because kids are older, and they change. The graph is saying that kids don't care about school uniforms, and they are happy with what they have.
This is in the middle. Only 19% show that they really care about what other kids wear, but they other 181% (if you add 46%+ 43%+35%+57%=181%) show that either it doesn't make a difference, or that they could care less. But if I had to choose it would be more with pro because each kid it isn't going to make a difference, so basically they are going to be with it. Kids aren't against, but they're not with it 100%. (At least at looking at the graphs) Each kid has their own opinion, and they could be competitive about it, or not.
Brandon Wiese 2/7/12 TT2
ReplyDelete2. Clothing can change a persons perspective.
3. In the first pie chart with the K-5 11% say that more competitive about clothing. 43% say that its less competitive about clothing. Then 46% say that it doesn't make a difference. On the grade 6-8 35% say that it doesn't make a difference. 8% says that its competitive about clothing. Then 57% is less competitive about clothing.
This information would work well with the pro side of the argument. This is so because when people look at this chart they focus mostly on the parts that take up the most space. That would be the less competitive and doesn't make a difference parts. In the first chart the less competitive takes up almost as much as the doesn't make a difference part. Then on chart two less competitive is bigger then the doesn't make a difference. In other words the audience would see that and believe the pro on what they were saying.
1. Jake Belford 2/7/12 tt2
ReplyDelete2. You will change as you grow up.
3. These two charts can tell you a lot about the opinions that people have on school uniforms. The k-5 chart says that most people don't think that school uniforms make a difference on competitiveness about clothing. K-5 only has 11% that think school uniforms make it more competitive. For grades 6-8 chart, most people think it is less competitive if there was to be school uniforms, and only 8% think that the uniforms will make clothing more competitive.
These charts could be used for only the pro. The pro would use these to show his/her audience that people would be less competitive if there were school uniforms. They would also say that more than triple amount of people believe that school uniforms make clothing less competitive than more competitive.

ReplyDelete2. It shouldn't matter how you dress
3. On the graph to the left it shows how grades K-5 feel about school uniforms and on the right graph it shows how grades 6-8 feel about school uniforms. For grades K-5 11% of the kids said that uniforms make it more competitive. 43% said uniforms made it less competitive and 46% said uniforms don't make a difference. For grades 6-8, 8% said uniforms make it more competitive. 57% said uniforms make it less competitive and 35% said uniforms don't make a difference. In grades K-5 most kids said that uniforms do not make a difference, in grades 6-8 most kids said that having uniforms would make it less competitive. Clearly, younger people do not care as much about how they look.
These charts would support the con side of a debate and the pro side but not very well. If you look closely grades K-5 had 2,031 votes and grades 6-8 had 915 votes. That is more than 1,000 more votes. It would be on the con side because there is no way in telling if the numbers on the graph are reliable. Yes, the graph could be used for pro too because without looking closely it says that uniforms would be the right choice because people for uniforms had more votes in grades 6-8, but the con could jump in and say that its not reliable because the number of votes for K-5 and 6-8 is a big difference. If this happened no one would believe what the pro side of the debate is saying because their graph would not be reliable.

ReplyDelete2. Everyone is different in their own way.
3. These pie charts are determining whether school uniforms make students more or less competitive when it comes to clothing, When children in grades kindergarten through fifth grade were asked, most said it didn't matter. As a close second, students said it would make them less competitive. Only eleven percent said that it would make them more competitive. When kids in grades six, seven, and eight were asked, fifty-seven percent said that having school uniforms would make them less competitive. Thirty-five percent said it doesn't make a difference and only eight percent decided they would be more competitive with school uniforms.
These pie charts are supporting the pro side of the argument between wearing school uniforms and not wearing them. It is supporting the pro side because fifty-seven percent said that having school uniforms would make them feel less competitive. They are saying that it would make them feel more equal if everyone had the same clothes rather than some students have better clothing than others. Even though the majority of the kindergarten through fifth grade students decided it wouldn't make a difference, that is still a good thing. They are saying that it may not make them less competitive, but it doesn't make them any more competitive.
1. Lexi Gross/ 2-7-12 / T-T-2
ReplyDelete2. I learned that over all kids are less competitive with school uniforms.
3. The fist graph where is says that it doesn't make a difference is right, because little kids don't care about things like clothes. Overall the most percent is less competitive, because the older kids would start to care about what they look like and what they wear. The second graph shows that it is really less competitive. It would be less competitive, because people can't say anything bad about what your wearing, because they are waring it too.
Kids usually don't like school uniforms. They want to pick out their clothes, and have their own style. What kids don't realize is that other kids get picked on because their clothes aren't as good looking as other peoples. If you have a school uniform, then really nobody can get picked on for what they wear, because everybody has the same thing on.
I would support con because we have, and should have, the freedom to choose our own clothes. You shouldn't care what people think of your clothes. As long as you like them then nothing else matters.

3. This pie chart shows what percent of kids from grades k-5 and 6-8 think about school uniforms. In the k-5 group 46% of kids say school uniforms don't make a difference. 35% of kids in the 6-8 grade group say the uniforms don't make a difference. In the k-5 group 11% of kids say school uniforms make clothing more competitive, only 8% of kids from the 6-8 group agree with that. 43% of group k-5 and 57% of group 6-8 think school uniforms make kids less competitive about clothing.
The people who think school uniforms would make clothing be more competitive are cons. They wouldn't want school uniforms because they think it would make kids be more competitive about clothing then they already are. The pro would be the people that said school uniforms would make kids less competitive about clothing. This is because they don't want kids to be competitive about clothing.

ReplyDelete2. You get more mature as the years go on.
3. This pie chart is in a way biased, but it is very explanatory on how it would turn out if the votes were the same. The left chart (grades K-5) 2031 people voted on the question "Do school uniforms make kids more or less competitive about clothing?" With the students grades 6-8 only 915 students voted on what they thought. This means that it is biased with not the same number of kids voting. I believe this graph is still accurate because since I am in 8th grade, my vote would be less competitive just like 57% of grades 6-8 said. For the other percents for the older kids, 35% said it doesn't make a difference and 8% said it makes it more competitive. Grades K-5 percentages were... 46% believed it didn't make a difference, 43% chose less competitive, and 11% chose more competitive. Being only in grades kindergarden- 5th grade, you are very young and less mature. Since you are less mature you; fight with each other, yell, scream, and are just to some plain annoying. As soon as you get a little bit older feelings change. What you did before doesn't seem to be worth it. Let me just get to the point: the kids that chose more competitive are the younger ones most likely, and the less competitive kids are the more older ones in the group ranges (probably 4th and 5th for k-5 group and 7th and 8th for 6-8 group). Now you can see why I stated for my lesson learned why as you get older you get more mature!
The left chart and right chart would show they are pros about wearing uniforms. It saves kids from being less worried about wearing cloths others may not like. With uniforms they are thinking "If someone makes fun of what I am wearing, I can say you are wearing the same exact thing!" Personally I don't really care if we wear uniforms, there are good things and bad things to wearing them. Goods are like I previously said. Bad's are it could get boring wearing the same thing.

3. The two pie charts basically explain who prefers to wear uniforms and ho doesn't. A very small amount don't wear uniforms and others like teens don't seem to care what they wear. Some at the percentage of 35% don't think it matters if they wear a uniform or not.
One for the pro sides debates on uniforms and the con sides debates on not wearing uniforms. If people decide if they want to wear uniforms in their school the easiest way is to have them vote on it.

3. This pie chart is very explanitory. It is explanitory because it explaines very clearly what the person who made the graph is tryign to tell people. The left chart (grades K-5) 2031 people voted and the students grades 6-8 only 915 students voted on what they thought. That means that the chart s have the correct information but they did not ask the same ammount of people in each grade. In the pie charts it shows that if a school makes you wear uniforms or has a strict clothing options. it also shows that it usually will make you less competitive about what you wear when you have a school uniform because you do not really have a large choice on what you can wear. also it doesn't matter to most people because all the people in the school wear close to the same clothes everyday. I believe that the people who made these chart would be pro because they are trying to co vice the people who see the graph that it does not matter as much to people what the wear, if they wear a school uniform.

The first pie chart, grades K-5 shows 46% of students believe that school uniforms don't make a difference when it comes to competition over clothing. 43% of the K-5 students also believe that the uniforms actually reduce competition over clothing, and only 11% of student believe that the uniforms increase competition. The second graph shows similar results, 8% of students believe the uniforms would increase competition over clothing, 57% of students think that the uniforms would reduce competition, and 35% of the students thought it would make no difference.
These pie charts would support the pro side of the argument. Both of the graphs show that most students think positively of school uniforms, and a very small amount think negatively of them. If this was shown to a group of people who didn't want children to wear school uniforms it would tell them that even the students being effected thought that the uniforms were helping make a change for the better.

ReplyDelete2. We are very competitive with our clothing now a days as teenagers.
3. In this pie chart shows how kids in K-5 and 6-8 feel about wearing school uniforms. Only 11% of K-5 kids are more competitive about clothing, 8% of 6-8 kids are competitive with clothing. 43% of kids K-5 say less competitive about clothing, 57% of 6-8 kids are less competitive about clothing. 46% of K-5 kids say that it doesn't make a difference, 35% of 6-8 kids say that it doesn't make a difference. The graphs are kind of close there numbers are very close the only thing different about the graphs is the grade difference.
These pie charts show the pro side of school uniforms. A lot of people show who they are when they can have the option to wear what they want to school. If the adults at the school had to take away wearing what they wanted, they wouldn't be able to so who they really are its kinda like taking away their personality. Even though some people can't afford nice clothes and the other people can we shouldn't be punished for wearing uniforms because the kids can't afford nice looking clothes. But wearing uniforms would be a pain to be looking the same as everyone else. If we were supposed to wear uniforms to school everybody would concentrate more on the school work than thinking about what everybody else wears and what they will think about their new clothes. It would get boring seeing everybody wearing the same thing day after day.

ReplyDelete2. Uniqueness is in the state of mind
3. The pie graph demonstrated above seems to show that if schools had school uniforms, middle schoolers would be less competitive on what they wear, elementary students overall think it doesn't matter whether or not they wear uniforms in school or not. If you look at the chart, you will see that overall for the elementary students, 11% of elementary students would be more competitive about clothing were the middle schoolers would only have 8% being more competitive. The numbers seem to be moving in favor for pro on school uniforms. Another thing you should notice is that a large portion in both graphs state that the uniforms wouldn't make any difference either way. That part can be used in con's favor as well.
Overall, this graph would be a better use to pro in a debate. With the large amounts of people who would be less competitive on clothing with school uniforms, the info can give a large advantage if used the right way. If con was to use this, I think he/she could have a problem with turning it around unless they use the info for the "no difference" part of the graph. This could be more difficult to do then to show how many would be "less competitive". It all seems to be the way you look into it that can determine the outcome of a debate involving the pie graph. Whats your opinion?

ReplyDelete2. It matters what you're like on the inside, not the outside.
3. In the first graph, the one in which grades K-5 were surveyed, the majority, 46%, of the children thought that uniforms wouldn't really affect the competition between students about clothing. The other 54% were either in the more or less competitive categories. In the second graph, grades 6-8 were surveyed. The majority of the students surveyed, 57%, thought that uniforms would make students less competitive about their clothing. The other 43% were either in the wouldn't affect competition or in the would increase competition categories.
The first chart would probably represent the con side of the argument. These children didn't think that school uniforms would affect competition between students. If they were asked if they would prefer school uniforms or not, they would most likely choose the latter option. The second chart would most likely represent the pro side of the argument. The majority of the 6th through 8th grade students thought that uniforms would decrease competition. Since they agreed with this category, they would probably also agree that they should have uniforms in the school environment.

ReplyDelete2. People are very competitive
3. The pie charts are very close to each other but they are different the k-5 says that 11% thinks that it will make kids more competitive 43% thinks it will be less competitive and the last 46% thinks wont make a difference then if we go to 6-8 8% thinks that it will make people more competitive about cloth 35% thinks doesn't matter either way 57% thinks it will make it less competitive about cloth that is a small difference between k-5 and 6-8 but there is still a change it seems that the more u age that you will mature more than k-5 they thinks that what they have heard most likely or what there friends tell them to and the older you get the more opinion u will get.
I would soport the 6-8 graph but that is because it seems to make more cense because as a young adult you would want to dress nice and all that so that could be little competitive for people who have more money than others wouldn't make a difference I dont totally agree with because there would have to be more or less conflict and the 57% thinks it will be less competitive i agree with that one the most because every one would have to wear the same stuff.

ReplyDelete2. That you don't need to fallow every one else's style. Also be who you want to be,and wear what you want to wear.
3. The two pie charts are trying to explain wether that unforms make kids more competitive with of with out them. The first pie chart for k-5 said that 11% percent of kids are more comptitive then others,43% percent of kids are less comptitive then others, and 46% percent of kids really dont care. The reason why this is, is that not many kids care what they wear when there younger and the only reason why the persent is 11 for the ones that do care is that most of there mom's pick out what there going to wear that day. For the second chart the persent is 8% persent for the kids that do care, 35% that said it didn't make a differnce, and 75% percent that kids said it would be less compteitve. The reason why its less competive is that people have gotten older and don't care that much any more.
This chart would be best used by the pro side because they are telling the imformation and percent on how much it is. Also the addeence is more likly to go with the pro because it is sampling all grades to 8th grade. That is why this chart would be best used by the pro's.

ReplyDelete2.Different ages view things differently.
3.The first pie chart is the view K-5 They think there will be 11% more competitiveness if they wear uniforms 43% think it will be less competitive and 46% said it would not make a difference they think it will be more competitive then the 6-8 who only got 8% thought would have more competitiveness 35% said less competitive and 57% said it would not matter.
I think they would be a pro in saying that they should have uniforms because the chart said most people would not care if they had to or did not have to then they would be fine with wearing a uniform if made.Really the point is they are already forcing us to go to school so why should we have to wear what they want us to there taking away are freedom.

ReplyDelete2. Every one thinks and competes in there own way
3. These pie charts show what kids k-5 and 6-8 think about the school dress code or uniforms. This also shows if the kids are competitive or aren't competitive. On the left side (chart k-5) 2031 voted on the question "Do school uniforms make kids more or less competitive about clothing?" With (grades 6-8) there is only 915 and they also voted on what they want. This is biased because there is not the same amount of kids voting. I think that the charts aren't so accurate because you only have 915 vs's 2031 and there is a big difference. Im in 8th grade so i would chose less competitive just like the other 57% of (6-8) said. For the other percents of kids there is 35%, that said it doesn't make a difference and 8% say that is it makes it more competitive. The grades (k-5) were 46% said doesn't make a difference, 43% chose less competitive, and 11% chose more competitive. Being in (k-5) you are not good at choosing because they are young and don't think. And being young you yell, scream,fight and are not old enough to debate.
The left and the right charts are cons about wearing uniforms. because they would want to were what they want instead of wearing a school uniform. If it was me i would chose this because i wouldn't want to were clothes school chose for me!

ReplyDelete2. When everyone wheres the same thing, nobody cares.
3. Develop two paragraphs. In the first paragraph explain the two pie charts and what the numbers have to say about school uniforms. In the second paragraph, explain which side of the argument would these charts support (pro or con) and why.
The 2 pie charts show what children say about unforms and their effectivness on clothing. 43% of children grades K-5 say that uniforms do not make a difference on how competitive they are about clothing. 57% of grades 6-8 say that they make them less competive, I mean when everyones wearing the same thing, who cares? Very few kids in both pie charts think that uniforms make them more competitive about their clothing. Now these numbers sound so great, but look closly at the grades. The chart on the left has 6 grades. They have a huge population compared the the chart on the right. Lots of kids like choosing what they wear in the morning, but to be honest tons of kids just don't care. So in the "dosn't make a differnce" section in the graph on the left it is larger because kids grade K-5 don't really care what they wear. In the 6-8 graph it shows that kids were kind of caring baout their clothing but dont now.
These charts could support the pro side of school uniforms. If you add the "less competive" sections in both graphs you get 100%. The "doesn't make a difference" makes 81% and the " more competive" equals 19%. So the less competive out weighs the other 2. Now tell me, when everyone is wearing the same outfit do you really care what anyone looks like? School uniforms could stop some bullying. Lot’s of kids pick on people because of what they wear. It’s just not right. School uniforms would make kids pay more attention in class, what other people are wearing is distracting to some people. Now I understand that some children don’t nessicarly care what they wear which is why uniforms would be good.
Personally however I would be on the con side of uniforms.We should be able to dress however we want (I do agree with the school dress rules though)

ReplyDelete2. everyone has there own opinion
3. The two pie charts are showing if school uniforms make them more confident about how they dress. In the K-5 most people dont care how they dress. Only 11% say that it wouldn't boost there confidence. Most people said they dont care how they dress and it doesn't make a difference. 43% chose it would not boost there confidence. In the second chart more then half of the students said that it wouldn't boost there confidence. At that age they care about how they look.
The second chart supports con.con means to be against something. Most of the students are against school uniforms. More then half of the students are against. The first chart is pros on school uniforms. Meaning they are okay with it. I dont think they really care how they look. I would be con on school uniforms.
1. Michael Atwood/ 2-6-12/ MW4
ReplyDelete2. School uniforms most likely wont make any difference in competition.
3. The first graph is for grades K-5 and their views on school uniforms and competition. Most of them believe that school uniforms wouldn't change anything when it comes to clothing competition. The next largest percentage believe that it would reduce competition in clothing, and trying to be more fashionable. The smallest percent thinks it would actually increase the fashion. The second graph is for grades 6-8 and their views on school uniforms and competition. They think the attempt to be fashionable would decrease if we were assigned school uniforms. The next largest percent doesn't think it would change anything, and the smallest percent think it would increase the fashion.
I believe that the fashion attempt would decrease if we started having school uniforms. Since everybody would the same thing, there would be no saying “My clothes are better than yours”, because it would all be the same. People would also not insult another person's clothing, which would be very nice for a change. People would pay less attention to appearance and more on their work. This may higher grades, also.

The pie carts say the

of grades k-5 the first percentage says 11% which is people that
want to be cool.
The 2nd one says 43% people that are kinda in to it. And the 3rd one says
46% people that do not care witch I agree with. 6-8 8% some people think if
the ware cool close they think they might be popular. The 2end one says it
doesn't make difference some seventh graders say. The 3rd one says 57%
witch most 8th graders don't care.

ReplyDelete2. Everyone has there own opinion on what they wear.
3.The pie charts explain how kids react to wearing school uniforms. 11% of the kids in grades K-5 got more competitive about their clothing, 43% got less competitive about their clothing, and 46% of them weren't affected in any way. And with kids in grades 6-8, 8% got more competitive about clothing, 57% got less competitive about clothing, and 35% of them weren't affected in any way. This Pie chart shows that some kids care and others don't care at all.
I am on the con side of this argument because I think kids should be able to express there own feelings and for some kids thats the only way they like to show it. When they say k-5 sometimes when your younger not a lot of things matter usually when i was younger i wouldn't care what i wore. But now since i'm older it makes a big different's and I would not like it at all if we had to wear uniforms. If you go to school and work and do everything that you need to do, wearing the same clothing as everyone else doesn't really do much so i would not get at all why you would wear uniforms. This argument could go anywhere a lot of people have different opinions on wearing uniforms.

ReplyDelete2.No matter what you wear you are going to be you
3. In the k-5 they don't care all they want is a education or just be with friends. They don't care about what they wear they might brag, but nothing to bad. With 6-8 they don't really mind uniforms, but the other 42% would mind or protest about it. On both sides a huge portion is,"Doesn't make a difference." So they are neutral or not? Again they might care or not so they might enjoy it. With k-5 they are trying to have bragging rights with 6-8 they is still bragging rights, but they lowered it.
I would be on the con side because I absolutely hate wearing uniforms because they are up tight and stupid. You can even tell the student apart if they are in uniforms the only way is by there face. You can't really be judgmental about a person in the same clothes. In this chart the k-5 want uniforms. I just can't stand uniforms because you have to buy all pretty nice clothes.

ReplyDelete2. Age and Grade affects how they dress.
3. The chart on this blog represents how competitive school uniforms would make kids grades K-5 and 6-8. It states that more than half of the 6-8th graders would be less competitive about clothing, and only about 8 percent would be more competitive. 11 percent of kids grades K-5 would be more competitive so that means younger kids are more competitive with how they dress.
I am on the con side of this argument because I think we should have the freedom to express ourselves and have the right to wear whatever we want. I agree that uniforms shouldn't be used in school. If I had to wear the same thing as everyone else, I would get bored of the everyday same thing and probably go somewhere that doesn't. All in all, Uniforms should not be used for school purposes.

3. school uniforms would take choices away from kids,because every kid has a choice in there clothesgrades K-5 got more competitive about their clothing, 43% got less competitive about their clothing, and 46% of them weren't affected in any way. And with kids in grades 6-8, 8% got more competitive about clothing, 57% got less competitive about clothing, and 35% of them weren't affected in any way. This shows that most kids aren't affected or they care less about what other kids wear. this subject would be (con).

3. The grade K through 5th grade show that majority of the kids think that school uniforms would not make a difference.Then 43% of K-5 students say that uniform wold make students less competitive about clothing.Last we have 11% of K-5 student saying that school uniforms would make clothing more competitive. The other pie chart shows what Grades 6-8 feel about school uniforms.First there is 57% of 6-8 grade students feel that uniforms would make clothing less competitive.#5 percent of student feel that school uniforms wouldn't make a difference in the competitiveness of clothing.Then 6-8 graders say that uniforms would make clothing more competitiveness. Overall both charts show hat majority of the kids think that uniform would make clothing less competitive.
This chart shows that school uniforms really would make a difference.Uniforms would make boys and girls more comfortable. They wouldn't have to worry about what cloth they have.it could also make poor kids that don't have a lot of money for nice clothes feel better.kids wouldn't have to worry about if there outfit matches of if they look nice, because all the kids would be in the same outfit.All in all Kindergardener through 8th grader say that uniforms would help make clothing not a big deal.

3. Kids always want to win at anything and everything and they make it a contest to win. They will do it in sports, dance or dressing with much other things that they see who is number 1. People who maybe want school uniforms don't have a lot of money to spend clothes. Their clothes might not be in style or really old. The people look the same no one wood be judge on there clothing.
The people would be pro for school uniforms. School uniforms. would mean that kids could not put some down for having poor clothing. Kids could save money having to buy new clothes to impress people. They can more fun after school because they don’t have to plain their outfit.

3. In grades K – 5 the pie chart shows that it really doesn't make a difference if they
wear school uniforms. Grades 6 – 8 feel that there is less competition about clothing.
The chart for grades 6 – 8 supports the pro side for uniforms. The chart
K – 5 shows doesn't support pro or con.

ReplyDelete2. This is showing that kids are paying attention to what people look like than working and studying on school work and everything.
3. This pie graph is explaining a bad bad bad bad statistic. Kids should be doing good in school and were what they want at the same time. If they can't then the fault is on them. The pie chart says the higher grade you go up the less you even care because the maturity level. Well for grades 5th and below is the pro and con is for 6th and up because the maturity level for 6th through 12th is a lot more thought out than being competitive in clothing style or hair or body style. When you go through high school, your not trying to were good clothing your trying to get into a good college so you have to get good grades and weary less about the other things.

ReplyDelete2. Don't judge a book by its cover.
3. These charts are showing that clothing doesn't make that much of a difference. Judging by the 46% and the 35% of students who felt it doesn't matter I agree that school uniforms are not needed. These statistics show that the clothing matters only 8% in 6-8th grade. In my mind that is not a lot at all. Most of this chart says that the students are less competitive about their clothing and what other people wear.
These charts I think would support the con or against because they are saying that the clothing isn't a big deal. They are not needed in their mind because clothing is not very competitive. I am quite sure they do not want school uniforms. To me it also looks like they do not need them and are not for them. They make it seem like there is not an issue to be addressed.

Don't pike on kids for waring uniforms. #4th hour.
You shouldn't pike on people that are waring
uniforms because what if you have to ware a
uniform and you get piked on you wouldn't like it so don't pike in others.
In the first pie chart the numbers are going up which means there is a higher rate of kids that get piked on for waring uniforms.If all the kids were waring uniforms there wouldn't be so many kids getting piked on.

In 6-8 57% said that it will make it less competitive about clothing. Also 35% said it doesn't make a difference. also 8% more competitive about clothing. The people that did this survey did not ask the same amount of kids they asked 2,031 k-5 and asked 915 6-8.

ReplyDelete2. Kids can get competitive over anything.
3. This graph shows that the majority of the people who were asked, thought that school uniforms made kids less competitive about clothing. But there is still 8% thinking that it makes kids more competitive which would probably be some form of, who wore it better. It makes sense why people would think it would be less but it also makes sense for more. But there is also a big part of the graph that occupies, doesn't make a difference to them. These possibilities would all make sense.
I would argue that this chart would help the pro side of school uniforms. This would help the pro side because it shows that 57% of kids think they are less competitive over school uniforms. In school, some people would be more comfortable in school when there are less things for bullies to pick on people for.

ReplyDelete2. It does not matter what you think about the school uniforms.
3.6-8 graders think it will make them less competitive about clothing and most of the k-5 kids do not care about the school uniforms. The 6-8 grade pie chart says most of the kids do not mind if they have to wear school uniforms or not and it is the same for the k-5 pie chart.

ReplyDelete2. When you're older, you care more about your looks,
3. The first pie chart shows Elementary kids votes on weather or not they think that there is more competition with or without having to wear school uniforms. The second pie chart shoes middle schoolers opinions on school uniforms. There is a massive change in numbers between both of the charts. 11% of Elementary kids say that there is more competition with school uniforms. But only 8% of middle schoolers think that there i more competition with school uniforms. Back to Elementary kids, 46% say that it would not matter wether or not they had school uniforms, but 43% said that there would be less competition... 57% of Middle schoolers think that having school uniforms would make less competition on what they had to wear to school. This basically shows that when you are older, your image matters a lot, and more and more people care a lot about what they wear and what people think of them.
I would support the con side because I think it is important to let kids decide what they wear, even if it causes more competition, people should be able to express themselves.

ReplyDelete2. The first graph represents the votes made by students in elementary school. The second graph represents the votes made by students in middle school. The numbers on the first graph show that elementary school students don't really care either way about uniforms, and the numbers on the second graph show that middle school students oppose to the idea of uniforms.
(con) As the graphs indicate, the younger students don't care either way about having to wear the uniforms, and the students in the middle school oppose to them. If the students don't want to wear any sort of uniform, then why force them? The students probably feel that the uniforms cut of their personality, such as clothing, jewelry, or any other sort of item that can represent who they are and how they feel.

ReplyDelete2."We all have our own opinion."
3. The first graph indicates the votes made by elementary school students, and the second graph indicates the votes made by middle school students.On the first graph, it shows that the elementary school students don't really care either way about the uniforms. And the second graph shows that middle school students oppose the thought of uniforms.
(con) As the graphs show here, a middle school vote indicates that a majority of students are against uniforms in our schools. If that is the case, then why enforce something that is not wanted by the people? It's like voting for a president. Some people vote more against that elector than those who do, but that elector is still put into office. I ask you, is that fair for anyone?
