School uniforms should not be allowed in schools

I want to thank you for your arguments in my first debate this truly made my day. To start my rebuttal I will find counterexamples or disprove your claims. 1) You are prepared to state that "school uniforms save both time and money" But that is not exactly true. a) There is many uniforms that cost from 8 to 50$ a piece, meaning 50$ possibly for a single shirt, polo, skirt, pants, etc. ab) There is many types of uniforms i.e. Regular uniforms, rally uniforms, p.e. and formal dress uniforms. Thus causing to pay a whole lot of money for clothes were regular will cheaper. B) The family will still buy regular clothes because since the student will probably want to wear something more comfortable in their free time. Thus defeating the whole "uniforms will save family money" claim. 2) You are prepared to state that uniforms will end a social class discrimination. A) Families who have less money can only afford to pay for a couple complete uniforms options thus making the student wear the same outfit often causing it to get more worn and more used thus causing wear so the outfit may be torn and worn out. And the student may feel embarrassed to know his/her family can not afford better clothes. B) Other students will still find ways to gossip and bully other students. Even with the clothes factors out of the equation kids will still bully that is a given fact that has stood the test of time. 3) You are prepared to state that uniforms may improve student safety. A) There is still going to be a bullying problem causing a unsafe environment B) People can still hide weapons and drugs in backpacks, in their in their waistband of their pants, and cars if they have one. C) Uniforms can still be stolen to. Cited: How much is it.org http://education.newarchaeology.com... and some various opinions asked at my school.
