School Uniforms are a good Idea

I support the idea of school uniforms. There are strong reasons for that. I wore school uniform from 7 to 15 years old and I'd never felt that it reflects on my personality or stops me from expressing myself. I knew that it was just a rule and I was never agains the discipline. Discipline lead to good results. So students were more concentrated on their studies than on their clothes and also they shouldn't spent at least 30-40 minutes in front of wardrobe choosing the best outfit for that day. In schools where uniforms are required there is decreasing of fights, violence among students, sexual offencies and what is important there is less comparision between people from different social levels. So students from families where cannot efford expensive and fancy clothes are more likely to feel equal to those from richer families.

School Uniforms Should not be Required

Wow! This "noob" is good! She might even be the first to beat me in this topic! Now, for my rebuttal.... "...hours of decisions of what to wear." That is a total exaggeration. No one takes hours to decide what to wear. And if they do, their parents will teach them to be faster, training their children for later jobs that do not require a uniform. School uniforms remove the training needed. If a person wears school uniforms all the way until work, and they don't know what to wear, they WILL spend hours of decision on what to wear. :P "....Clothes can often be used to define social statuses...." Not really. While famous brands such as North Face can make you seem richer than others, nobody wears rags to school or sparkling jewelry. Normally it is hard to tell how rich a person is based on their clothes if you do not know the brand. "people will have to rely on personality rather than the outfit they are wearing. " People usually don't depend on what they wear to "rise in social statuses". No study has shown that people with "high social status" wear amazing designer clothing. "poor...have ragged clothes..." So....what makes you think that they'll be able to afford the school uniform? Parents are shown to complain about prices in source [1] above. " There really isn't really a way to express yourself using clothes. Clothing is only something you wear and, in no way, can be used to define yourself." Wrong. As an example said by source [4], "Some people who have a very conservative personality won't wear low cut clothes they will wear long sleeves and professional clothing." In addition, as said by source [5], "Clothing choices are rarely neutral, and our inner secrets can be read in our choices. " These two sources clearly show that clothing can express personality. While wearing a uniform, the only ways to express oneself is with measly bracelets and necklaces, both which are barely visible compared to normal clothing. And I didn't say uniforms do not affect how people act. I said uniforms do not really affect how bullies harm kids and a person's normal clothing does not affect a bully's insults either. I extend my argument concerning the fact that school uniform going against the US constitutional beliefs of freedom of expression, which she failed to refute. Oh, and my opponent has yet to cite a single source. Onto you, con! [4] http://www.ask.com... [5] http://www.psychologies.co.uk...

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.

Uniforms

I believe uniforms are vital in school. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, Between the years 2015 and 2016 22% of public schools acquired uniforms. This is because uniforms are believed to help students focus more on education than what they are wearing. If students are wearing expensive clothes at school, They will definitely regret it. The clothes might get stained, Painted on or even ripped. Even with stitching, Expensive clothes look horrible when ripped. Furthermore, Students have fewer chances of getting bullied when wearing uniforms. This is because everyone would be wearing the exact same clothes; therefore, There would be no reason to bully others. No one wants to get bullied for what they like to wear. On trips, Students are supposed to wear school uniforms. When they get lost, It will be easier to find them. It is better than searching for a specific person with clothes anybody can wear. We can't deny that kids adore the thought of not having to decide what to wear each day. Instead of spending hours of time putting together outfits, A student simply puts on their uniform. Chant'e Haskins shared her opinion after going from a school with no uniforms to one with uniforms. She says after wearing the uniform for a whole school year she "was so used to wearing the uniform it did not even bother me anymore. " Chant'e adds she saved time in the morning by not having to pick out an outfit and was able to customize her look with accessories to keep some individuality. Proponents suggest kids who wear school uniforms feel more connected to their school, Encounter less bullying, And have a more professional attitude. All of these factors contribute to more positive behaviour in school. In one school's online survey, About 25% of student respondents said they believe school uniforms would promote positive behaviour. It is generally thought that students who wear school uniforms behave more appropriately in the school environment. They believe that uniforms dictate a stricter atmosphere and that students who wear uniforms are more likely to follow school rules. Again, I must repeat that school uniforms are beneficial in many ways to both the students and the school.
