Auz's Point of View

This week, my cute 12 year old, Auz, wrote a persuasion paper for his Language Arts class on:
Why School Uniforms Should Be Outlawed



Here are some of his hilarious excerpts...

Wearing School Uniforms is Unnatural...

"Forcing a kid to wear a school uniform is like telling a chicken to wear fur."

School Uniforms are Expensive...

"When my parents spend all of that money on uniforms, they don't have enough left over to buy me an I-pod Touch."

"If we didn't spend all that money on school uniforms, maybe we'd have more money to donate to charity."

Kids Can't Express Themselves in School Uniforms

"Forcing kids to wear school uniforms makes them feel like clones. Nobody likes a clone."

"Kids don't feel comfortable in their uniforms so they sit around and be lazy at recess...this is part of the cause for the United States' high obesity rate."

{This kid never ceases to amaze me...or make me laugh hysterically.}
