    wearing a school uniform at school

    But wearing school uniform is tedious, which means nothing special. As i repeated before, when we wear casual clothes we can show our own fashions. Moreover, when we want to be attractive and want to show good thing for others, wearing casual clothes will bring lots of benefits about it.

    School uniform

    In this idea, many kids(especially from private schools) are forced to wear school uniform for a reason. Not only does it make their school look tidy and organised, it also helps the children. It trains the children to get used to what is going to happen later on in life e.g. a Job. If you have an office job, would you want to wear skinny jeans and a vulgar t-shirt? No! You want to look formal. Speaking of vulgar, children could bring vulgar shirts or pants to school, thus enhancing the idea of school uniform. For example, panties or any shirt that has "bad words" on it. The school doesn't try to dehumanise the children into robots, they are trying to help them into a well-rounded person by the way they dress.

    Uniforms in schools/workplaces should all be unisex/gender neutral

    Yes a company has the right to choose how it is presented to the world, But why does that presentation have to differ between men and women? Changing the ways we present a company does not mean that it would appear any less professional. Also, I'm sorry but I am unable to see the error in my argument, I was simply using skirts as an example of how uniform often falls into a binary. I understand that there is obvious biological differences between men and women, However these difference have no effect on most uniforms. Relating to your statement about peanut butter allergies: approximately 1%-1. 6% of the population is affected by some form of peanut allergy, And approx 1. 7% is affected by being intersex. Intersex is only the physical attribute of having characteristics of both sexes, So we must add on the amount of people who are genderfluid/nonbinary/questioning gender which I was unable to find a reliable statistic for, And therefore I am able to debunk your statement about that. Being intersex or having gender identity issues are both serious challenges in ones' life, And changing the uniform would not be harmful to companies/schools (in fact could be beneficial as they would only need to manufacture one type) in any way.

    For starters if you work at a themed or historical place...

    Uniforms in schools/workplaces should all be unisex/gender neutral

    I disagree with the pro for multiple reasons. For starters if you work at a themed or historical place that is trying to be accurate there are obvious reasons for differing For starters if you work at a themed or historical place that is trying to be accurate there are obvious reasons for differing uniforms. Next is the entire modeling profession which is literally paying people to wear certain items. A model can most certainly deny wearing an item for any reason but they aren't going to get paid for not doing their job. Lastly the image of a company isn't up to its employee's. As long as the company isn't portraying an illegal hateful message it can portray anything it wants to. If an employee is refusing to uphold the image of the company he works for he can be fired. It is important to remember that an employee is a representative of the company not vice versa. They're literally getting paid to wear those clothes. As far as school's go the government agrees on clothing standards for public schools. In order to change those standards you'd have to take it before the community and I don't see any reason to. Private schools are business and therefore can have their own standards.

    Especially in middle and high school, where students are...

    Private school is better/safer than public school

    The public school system has numberous issues Teacher Tenure - this protects any poor quality teacher from being fired. This also terminates a teacher's fear of being fired, so even a good teacher can get lazy. Students are assigned to the public school in their area. This forces some students to attend a more corrupt, or dangerous school, and ensures that the school will have enough students to stay open. The school can change the additude of the students, and lead them to failure. Common Core Standards - the poor teachers that tenure protects are now educating their students with common core standards. It would be bad enough if all teachers were at least average in performance. Common core is widely known as not being very efficient, and soon will be limmiting students. Government officials could soon start poisoning the minds of students with common core standards Public schools can be under-funded, which can lead to cancellation of activities like choir, band, dance, and theater. Over-achieving, intellingent kids are often a minority. They will be discouraged among students, and taught that smart means unpopular. There are many popular misconceptions and myths about private school Students can use money to pass a class, or get good grades - this is a common, and hilarious myth. Private schools have very strict rules about giving a teacher any money, even as a gift. Especially in middle and high school, where students are more likely to try cheting. If you were to ask anyone at a private school, student or teacher, they would all tell you that no one tries to use money to pass classes. All students in private school are rich, and upper class - this is a steriotype. Students in private school are mainly upper-middle class, or somewhere in that area. Some students even get work-study oppritunities, which lets lower-class students attend private school for cheaper. They only have to help with a little work, like helping to clean after school. Low-8ncome students also can receive free lunch. Of coarse, some students in private school are richer. What other school would these students go to? Students are all very sheltered from the real world - a very common steriotype. Since most people go to public school, private school students will live in neiborhoods with public school students, and can become friends with them. All private school students are aware of the problems low class families face. They learn from the news, from public school friends, and from common knolwdge. Anyway, is being sheltered from drugs, alcohol, and other illegal activity really a bad thing? In a private school, students have a safe, pure, and healthy learning environment.

    But what they don't know is the personal difference...

    Private school is better/safer than public school

    Public schools are better. Public schools are better than private because of diversity, having to pay to go to school which is exclusive, and the teachers are better educated so their students are better educated. Most people think that PRIVATE SCHOOLS are better because of what they have heard. But what they don't know is the personal difference between the schools (meaning the never experienced PRIVATE SCHOOL). As of now since almost is rises, (price, population, etc) , public school is helpful to those people who cannot afford private school, and specially tuition fees of the private school has a possibility to rise unlike the public school is consistent. Some people who was studying at the private school, mostly they are using their money to pass the subject, they pay their instructors, unlike public school are fare for all students. Public school is advantage as now, because almost 70% of the population is poor and 30% is rich. Public schools provide students with an opportunity to interact with people from different backgrounds and learn from that. Private school students mainly come form upper class families and are limited to what they are exposed to. When private school students move onto a career this could pose a problem because they have no idea the problems middle and low class families face.

    I have attended private school my whole life, so I speak...

    Private school is better/safer than public school

    Public schools do have more diversity, but that is purely chance. Anyone who can pay is welcome at a private school. And, yes, you do have to pay for private school. It is not just to be exclusive, though. Private schools don't get government funding, so they have to find a way to pay the teachers. This is why the teachers at private school are payed less. If they wanted to raise the pay of a private teacher, they would have to raise tuition. It is all in a perfect balance, and in no way meant to exclude people. I have attended private school my whole life, so I speak from experience and facts, not just what I have heard. Tests do indicate that it is much more likely for a public school student to be bullied that a private school student. It is proven that public schools have more problems with physical conflicts, verbal abuse of teachers, student disrespect for teachers, and parental lack of involvement. From experience, I can tell you also that it is true. Comparing my private school friends and my public school friends, I can see a substantial difference in behavior. My public school friends tend to either gossip more, or be bullied more. This is never a real problen with my private school friends. As far as education goes, it is hard to tell who gets a better one. Based off a single student, you will get varried answers. Hovever, the average test scores for a private school are generally higher than those of a public school. Is is because of teachers and environment. Private school teaching careers are hard to come by, so only a teacher who loves their job will search for a private school career. Naturally, those who love their job will be better at is. So, you can conclude that a private school gives you a better edcation.

    Also, if you attend a private school, you have to pay...

    Private school is better/safer than public school

    Private schools give you a better education than public schools. The teachers at public schools are paid more, so most people who seek a teaching career will want a job at one of them. Anyone who decides to teach at a private school knows that the pay is worse, and they teach at them because they love their job. So, they will be better at their job. Also, if you attend a private school, you have to pay tuition. The school has to give you a better education, than, if they want you to stay. So naturally, private school gives you a better education. Private schools are also safer than public schools. Anyone who attends private school has to pay tuition, so the students will all naturally be safer. I am not saying that poor people are not safe, or that they are meaner. I only mean that the students will have been raised in a better environment, so they will know that bullying is bad, and that drugs are bad. Not all of them, but a majority. Many people also attend private school for religious reasons, so most of the students will be nicer, and more moral. Nicer students means a nicer school, so private school is safer than public school.
