There is a piece of blog attracting my attention few days ago when I was browsing my blog. This is not a news announced by government or a part of those famous books. Instead, it is only a phenomenon in New York, and one blogger kept it down to show us through Internet. The content of this blog is: tell a story, New York is very cold in winter, and the snow is so heavy. But public elementary school is always having classes as usual. So some of the children’s parents asked the school why their children have to attend school during such cold days. The school said because a lot of the poor classes children can not possess heating and free lunch, and if they stayed at home they would bear the starvation and coldness. Then those parents said you can only told those poor children to attend school. School said: “no, we can't help children while their dignity will be trampled.” I am deeply moved by the school’s decision which make me think of the policy about wearing uniform when I was in middle school and high school.
That also a policy to protect those low-class children’s dignity. Although in school, there are upper class students, middle class students and low class students, they should be treated as the same. If the school only asked those poor students to have class, they would feel they are lower tho those rich students who can stay at home to enjoy their warm winter. They may think they are different or inferior to others. Besides, as we wear the same cloths in school, we do not need to worry about what cloths I should wear and feel uncomfortable when other rich students wear the luxury brand cloths.
