As I look at the state of our country in regards to education, family and such , I have to admit , unless somebody can change my mind that I am a proponent of uniforms in school , just like in football . Females should wear modest apparel and men should dress with a tie or sport shirt , like he was going for an interview . In football, this seems to work . Those that have trouble being disciplined in a democratic environment , the school , sometimes do very well when they have less choices , in a rigid , more authoritarian type environment . The biggest reason for this is because these kids are still kids and they need to be taught . Does that mean we kick them out the first time they show up wrongly dressed or not neat ? No we kick them in the seat and teach them why they are valued and needed as part of a greater society. In football , like society , it is not a winning team until all that are on the team feel valued and needed . It is not just the most talented but those that can find their way or place and accept it . I think that a lot of us have failed or are failing as parents or leaders by our methods . We have sought to make life easier , to cushion the blow , of the world by giving them things when they are not deserved . Everybody can not have a smart phone or the nicest house or a really cool car . There is nothing wrong with hard work.
