- 1823: Schools Uniforms
- ... do not know how to dress up or student who just wear weird clothing. Some students who may feel this really upsetting because they want to look different everyday except wearing the same uniform everyday.

Having the freedom to express oneself and to be creative can perhaps help a child learn better than any book or school can teach. Other foreign countries such as Japan, do not allow young students to express their true thoughts. True, they might be able to add or subtract numbers at a very young age, but they may never find out, who they really are. Ho uses his high school years as an example.
