School Uniform Should Be Banned

Thanks for responding so quickly. During this round I'm going to be refuting your R1 points, and in the next round I'm going to be defending my own case from attacks that you've made, if you made any. ----- Rebuttals: "First of all, pupils should be able and should be encouraged to express themselves and be creative with what they wear" First, what is more important: having the ability to wear a t-shirt, or having the ability to deter crime massively? Second, you will still have the ability to decorate your clothes in moderation. Obviously you cannot scorch weed leaves into your outfit, but if you want to tuck up your sleeves or wear your hair a certain way, or have a certain bow, then that should be okay. School uniforms do not diminish the outlet for creativity. "Own clothes are more comfortable and in the cold, school uniforms aren't warm enough" The definition of school uniforms isn't cold, miserable clothing, it's just a strict set of guidelines for someone to wear at school. Wear your own clothes in the cold! Nobody is keeping you from doing that! But once you are in school, you should just wear the uniforms, since they have so many advantages. "Surely we can wear badges to say which school we are from, especially on school trips!" wat.png "If we are comfortable wearing our own clothes in class we should be able to focus better in class." I don't really like being that guy, but what's your source for this? I have a card in my case that says that uniforms actually INCREASE productivity and attentiveness during class, so we must render your argument invalid. "School uniform can be very expensive as compared to our own clothes as well as if not washed quick enough it can pose a real problem." Not if the school pays for them, which I suggest to every single school that is considering having uniforms. "No matter what you dress students who bully others will always find a reason to do so" Look at my third contention, then get back to me with this argument. But seriously,60% less bullying occurs as a direct result of implementing uniforms. Tell me that isn't good... "Making everyone wear the same clothes is not going to make the problem magically disappear."
