    School uniform should be discontinued

    Interesting, so you now forfeited! Please may you make some other points as for what to say because the last two rounds have just been me posting. School uniform also identifies people, like on a school trip, people could just say "They are wearing this uniform," rather than people having to remember exactly what the person is wearing. Also, having school uniform is a good fundraiser for the school as well. As well as getting the parents to pay for the uniform, they can raise money by having non school uniform days!

    School uniform should be abolished

    Those professions need a varying degree of professionalism. Take the medical profession. A doctor wears scrubs because if he doesn"t he risks causing infection. Depending on the seriousness of the situation this could end in him/her losing their job permanently. This is very different to a school environment. In school, there is no great danger connected to what you are wearing. No one is going to die because of it. Your point is fundamentally the same as the one that you made about the NBA basketball players. As I said; "First off we are talking about school, not professional sports players. That is a different scenario and in that case, it is essential for them to wear a uniform to avoid confusion. However, going to school is not a public spectacle and will not be viewed on live television." I personally live in an area with both a highly regarded fee paying school and a few state schools. I have friends who go to the fee-paying school who have been chased with knives and had water poured on them. These were all random acts. The two victims had no idea who the attackers were. It was a random attack due to the uniform that they wore. With their school logo on it. Yes, bursaries are given out, but there is still a generalisation. That is something that you can"t change unless you remove the thing that separates them in a social environment before and after school hours. This is the uniform. Taking up student"s free time not only means that they are being dress coded but it also gives students an incentive not to wear inappropriate clothes. Taking up the student"s time means that while they could be away with their friends they have to be held back. I never said that you called them "the popular," "the sporty," and "the geeks" that is what I called them. In the first week of school do the rich spoilt kids walk around shouting that they have more money than everyone else? No. This is normally something that is only found out weeks after the term begins. This gives the students a window of opportunity to make friends with these kids. Without this uniform, there is not only a conversation started but, also something that students can have in common. Unfortunately, I can"t cite my sources for my first point as I wrote this when I was 9 years old. I wanted to see if it would stand up to the level of scrutiny on this website. So far I think it has done rather well. I"m also not the one with an issue with this. I don"t mind either way. YOU brought this up in the first place.

    School uniform should be discontinued

    The opponent shall be saying that school uniform should be discontinued. I think that school uniform is a good thing. People are less likely to be bullied because of what they are wearing, and are more likely to be late for school if they are choosing what to wear. You also have a sense of belonging if you are together- wearing the same thing. Up to you to continue the debate!

    Dress Code Policies in School

    For starters: how it can be beneficial. Well if you look at the percentage of people in school that get into fights at Well if you look at the percentage of people in school that get into fights at school because this guy is wearing these types of clothes compared to a school with a dress code the school with a dress code has a lower percentage. Also, a dress code can prevent segregation of different gangs. In any normal persons book a school with less relation to gangs is a safer school over all. Now about your point on the cost. If money is a issue which in some kids it is the school will buy you clothes. Now you brought up that people never wear it anywhere else and could use that money for food or utility bills. Now, lets clarify this a bit a dress code is completely different from a uniform. A uniform you are told what shirt is mandatory what socks is mandatory for example white or black, high or low, what color tie to wear etc... Now a dress code is a whole lot more relaxed. I wear clothes that I wear to school all the time and vise versa. So therefore the issue of money really isn't a problem and neither is the waste of clothes.

In any normal persons book a school with less relation to gangs is a safer school over all.~~ First off i would like to know where you got the fact and percentage of people who get in a fight at school because what there wearing? and i don't know if you know this but clothes are not the only thing about gangs. clothes are not what make up a gang. just because they are not wearing there colors or whatever they are still part of a gang. so i would like to know where you are going with this cause it looks like know were. moving on. ~~Now about your point on the cost. If money is a issue which in some kids it is the school will buy you clothes. ~~ First money is a issue for a lot of people. in some kids it is the school will buy you clothes? that makes no sense but i think i might know what you mean so a will work with it. you stated some so that's not all they time. moving on. ~~Now you brought up that people never wear it anywhere else and could use that money for food or utility bills. Now, lets clarify this a bit a dress code is completely different from a uniform.

I wear clothes that I wear to school all the time and vase verse. So therefore the issue of money really isn't a problem and neither is the waste of clothes.~~ you are right about the uniform. now that it is clarified. lets use a soccer uniform for example. you have to wear the same shirt short and socks to ever game. now for dress code policies in school. the dress code could be red white or blue polo's with only tan or blue shorts. that is a policy. So i have totally refuted your point. back to what i was saying about saving money. a lot of people are not going to want to wear that during summer or the weekend because they want to me comfortable. thus not having to buy extra clothes parents could save for bills.

    (GY) School uniform should be abolished

    School uniform improves students' behavior. Having all students wear the same uniform helps to create a sense of belonging and a good school ethos spirit. By showing that the school expects high standards, expectations are raised and students respond with better behavior. There are several research that prove the improvement of students in delinquency and academic achievement after adopted uniform cord. Firstly, let me show the example that show the change of major delinquency. At the Long Beach unified school, after it introduced the school uniform, school crime decreased 36 %, fights decreased 51%, sex offenses decreased 74%, weapons offenses decreased 50%, and assault and battery offenses decreased 34%. Secondly, Raffner Middle School noted improvements in students' behavior Using US Department of Education software to track discipline data, leaving class without permission is down 47%, throwing objects is down 68%, and fighting has decreased by 38%. Staff attributes these changes in part to the uniform code. Thirdly, I want to give the example about improvement in student's academic achievement. Maymont Elementary school principal identified many benefits of the uniform program, including improved behavior, an increase in attendance rates and higher student achievement. Also, Mt.Royal's assistant principal stated that the uniform policy has enhanced the tone and climate of our building. She also noted that t brings about a sense of seriousness about work.

    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 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).

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

    Once again it isn't about professionalism it is about a companies right to choose. If you're going to try and force companies to abide by your ideas on unisex uniforms someone has to enforce that. Since it obviously isn't going to be the company itself you have set a precedent that all people will follow because that's going to be law. Since you haven't set forth any kind of line on what unisex might actually entail for companies you're just slapping a word on it. A study by ucla puts the transgender community at. 58% of the community. So no I'm not just talking out of my butt and here's a link. Https://www. Dailydot. Com/irl/transgender-population-in-us/ and I'm just going to assume all of those things you just listed could be covered as transgender. Think about it. There really isn't a single unifying definition of transgender or gender fluid and I can give you some examples. Dictionary. Com says it can be as broad as "noting or relating to a person who does not conform to societal gender norms or roles. " That definition could describe anyone who isn't ideally masculine or feminine. It can also be as narrow as "noting or relating to a person whose gender identity does not correspond to that person"s biological sex assigned at birth. " The quote is taken from the same site. Https://www. Dictionary. Com/browse/transgender? S=t, Then there's webmd who defines transgender as how someone feels. Https://www. Webmd. Com/sex/features/transgender-what-it-means#1. And therefore I'm able to debunk your statement about that. lastly it can be harmful to a companies image because it could be construed as not allowing people to be masculine or feminine. Something people like because around 99% of the population identifies as male or female. As a matter of fact you could say it's built into our language. I mean could you imagine trying to speak gender neutral Spanish? You're argument isn't nuanced and doesn't have precedents, Definitions, Or a point.
