Uniforms should be mandatory in all of the public schools of America

Thank you for the quick response and thank you for continuing this debate. At the moment, Finland has the best education system and they have no homework, standardized tests, and uniforms. Yet, America has private schools, public schools and colleges with uniforms and they aren't even on the top ten list for education systems. Sadly but expected, we are #14 with Indonesia as the worst. We have to pay attention the fact that uniforms are just cloth, yes, a piece cloth can have symbolism, but that won't help students pass school. Pro claims that students have to adjust, which I agree with to an extent. For example, everybody learns differently and adjusting to one person's way of teaching may be difficult. America has already proved that passing a test is more important than actually learning how to survive in this world, getting an apartment and proper sex-ed. Maybe America should focus on lowering tuition, student loans and letting students move around more when learning instead of putting them in a uniform.

Uniforms won't stop students from getting ADHD, which is caused from expecting students to sit for long period of time. Uniforms won't stop students from dropping out of school and going down the wrong path. Take the police as an example. Police brutality is a problem in America"this country is corrupted in many way"and those people where uniforms every day. You say that uniforms give people integrity, respect and responsibility. More people are killed by the police in America than anywhere else, and some people view their uniforms as a sign of control and wish to show them no signs of respect. If police had integrity from a uniform, shootings of the people in America, people they are supposed to be protecting, wouldn't happen as much. I promise you that regulating a student's clothes, hair, accessories won't help them learn logic. You learn logic from your idols and you learn your smarts from books, teachers, and your parents/adopted parents, not from a uniform. Your argument about intelligence coming from hard work I find hard to accept. To work hard you have to have the will and ability to do so, the wishes to become something. Where does that all originate from? Your brain where all your thoughts and dreams float around. It's up to you that you make those dreams come true, not a uniform. We shouldn't base somebodies worth off of a uniform. This concludes my argument and this debate.
