Uniforms should be worn in school
My opponent has not refuted most of the points I actually brought up in my last argument. The argument that I made is admittedly not a great one, but as it goes unrefuted, I sustain it. Now, I will respond to Pro's refutations. 1. I never brought up this point. My opponent is misquoting me here. These punishments seem awfully harsh though for something so trivial. 2. I think you are confused about the nature of this debate. The resolution that I need to negate is: "Uniforms should be worn in school." I am arguing the opposite of this statement, but you seem to think the resolution is something like: "Schools should require students to wear identical uniforms," or something to that effect. Now let me answer Pro's question, they increase distractions because the students are NOT wearing the same uniform. I think that they will increase distractions because: clubs imply membership in a club, and regular clothes generally do not imply anything. 3. So right here my opponent is supporting their previous statements about self-confidence. Pro's reasoning is that upper-class students and poorer students wear the same thing. This would be acceptable, except for what I said in my refutation to #2 about the resolution. I also want to bring up something interesting that my opponent said here. "This is the main reason why bulling happens in public schools." This is extremely false. Insecurities are the main reason why kids bully [1], not what Pro has brought up. I have sustained my own arguments, and have refuted my opponents arguments. I am done here. References: 1. http://www.stompoutbullying.org...
