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?

I grew up wearing uniforms so I don't mind abiding by the rules. I think the shirt color however should of been navy blue rather than grey and khaki pants are fine. It is not necessary to wear uniforms but you represent where you're from when you do. Let's not forget, also looking organized. I think it's better to wear uniforms because it's more affordable, rather than trying to find a new outfit everyday. Most of the students do not act properly towards the dress code because they don't agree with it. I however don't like the fact that we can't wear a jacket over our collar shirts unless its a certain color. Not only are certain classes cold but we like to wear our jackets especially when it's getting cold. I understand that they wants us to look together that's why enforcing the dress code is so important. I hope though my idea of letting us wear navy blue shirts or both so we could have an option will be taken into consideration. I think looking presentable is the effect of mandatory school uniforms. I suggest that they allow us to wear any color on top of our collar shirts and not force to put our jackets in our lockers. Once again consider the navy blue shirts.

Why is it so important to learn how to learn today and in the future?

It is important to learn how to learn today and in the future because knowledge takes you a long way. Once you have it, it can never be taken away from you unless you lose it.

Do you have a cellphone? Do you agree that it can distract you from your schoolwork?

Yes I do have a cellphone and honestly I do agree that it distracts me from my school work majority of the time. It causes procrastination.

Tell us how you feel about the use of Mobile Devices like Cellphones and Tablets as educational tools — whether in or out of the classroom. How could your teachers use them during lessons?

I think mobile devices are very interesting apart from the distraction it causes. You can research information and broaden your knowledge anywhere because they are portable. Teachers could use them during lessons by assigning work that is already on the device and the students just go to it and there it is, very handy. But I think with mobile devices given to students, it's up to them if they want to do their part or use the devices for the inappropriate unnecessary things for example, social networks and games etc.

How will you use the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ be used to improve your education? Will tablets enhance learning or be more of a distraction?

It'll educate me because a lot of information is on it. I can research and use to to the best of my ability. It's a whole lot of fun. But I think it's up to the students if they want to learn or not because it can be a huge distraction. Hopefully it'll enhance the learning.

Why should you never send emails, texts or IM's when your upset?

You shouldn't send emails, texts or IM's when your upset because you might say something you regret.
