Should every children wear school uniforms at every school
I do think you make good points. == School uniforms keep students focused on their education, Not their clothes. But in the end, Like I said many will find loopholes. Shorter skirts, Fancier accessories, Etc. It still seems as much 'distracting' as normal, Casual clothes do. == Uniforms create a level playing field among students, Reducing peer pressure and bullying. As I stated earlier, The main reason for bullying is not because of the bullied because of the 'builler'. But, Yes I do see that many will not just see it that way, But as I said, There will be loopholes. As for finances, The cost of uniforms is pretty high considering most school I have seen. Although your debate about bullying does sound compelling. ==Regarding what you wear and the expectations from teachers and professors since they expect different from you as you are older and put you more in a higher standard. I think you make a great point. But the earlier we teach certain skills and virtues, The more mature and responsible we become as we get older.

School Uniforms
"Limiting freedom," as you just said, is unconstitutional. Thank you for proving my point. Clothing is not a direct effect on what kids "focus" on. When you find a reliable source proving that clothing does not let children focus, then try that point again. Once again, it is not the clothing which promotes violence. It is the children doing it to themselves. If they were not to wear "gang" clothing, they would just get tattoos or some other form of identification. If children are in gangs, they will be with clothing or no clothing associated to that specific gang. Instead of teaching children to not wear certain clothing, teach them morals and what is right and wrong to not get involved with such groups. Once again, if the PERSON THEMSELVES consent to not wearing things that they wish ie. private schools, that is fine. It is when the school forces students is when we know it is a problem and a freedom violation. You have no evidence tying any kind of clothing into "bullying," until you do, leave that point to the side. You are speculating, wearing a certain shirt does not simply lower one's self-esteem. You are talking like things like this happen very frequently and it is a MAJOR problem. When in reality, it is not. When was the last time you heard about a kid hurting themselves over clothing?

Please refrain in the future from using personal experiences that may, or may not be true. I want to see facts. If there are none, come up with a different point. How does a piece of clothing make children feel "left out?" If anything, students express themselves and who they really are through their clothing and freedom of speech, leading them to find like mind individuals and be more confident in their shoes overtime.

TROLL DEBATE: School Uniforms Should Not Be Required
Look at those smiling students. They look pretty happy, don't they! Well, I'll tell you something--you're wrong! They aren't happy. Why? Because they love the race they are. Look at their skin color! No offense, and not being racist, it's true--they all have the same skin color! And their uniforms--their uniforms all have to same colors! We can logically deduce that if uniforms are worn then people have the same skin color. This is actually a crude experiment by an evil genius scientist to turn all the school's poor children into his evil robot slaves! Look at them, they're all the same--shoes, hand motions, even the creepy way they smile is exactly the same! If you aren't convinced, take a look at this other picture... Look! They're all the same! Sure, the blond girl seems to be unaffected as the others, but streaks of brown can be seen! Oh god, save us! And only one person has glasses on! Look at the guy on the left, the guy two seats to the right, and two seats to the right, and the guy two seats to the right...that's right! All of them are trying to cross their legs, copying the guy on the rightest and the girls too! It can be concluded this photo was taken while the transformation was happening...this is terrible! THE CONSEQUENCES IF WE FORCE SCHOOL UNIFORMS TO BE REQUIRED The consequences are unimaginable. One word? Destruction. Two words? Take-over. Three words? [BLEEP] us all. I know, you might say "hey, what proves that these robots are destructive? Why couldn't they be nice?" Well, I say, it's the evil genius scientist who designed these robots. He's gotten so far ahead that the earliest one of his robots has grown into an adult! Look at her eyes, how they bore into you....they hypnotize you and yet they look faraway, having lost their sentience long long ago....how terrible! Fortunately these robots have yet to outnumber normal human beings, so we should stop them while we still can! Ban school uniforms!! Onto you con.

PRO Contention 4 - Unity Educators and experts who are pro...
Schools should have uniforms
Contention 1 - Equality One of the most obvious argument for school uniforms is that by having all children dressed the same, there is a decrease in bullying and teasing. In this era of status brands and high-fashion trends, clothing has become the definitive status symbol for children and teens. By evening the playing field with uniforms, there is less opportunity for children to be picked on or shunned for their clothes. Contention 2 - School Spirit and Identity Many experts believe that when the entire student body is dressed in uniforms, they develop a stronger team mentality. When they are all dressed alike, their all-for-one-and-one-for-all comradery is boosted. Contention 3 - Simple Economics Buying a few school uniforms instead of a new school wardrobe every fall is much more economical. School uniforms are designed to stand up to everyday wear and repeated washing so most parents find that they can get away with buying a few sets. Contention 4 - Unity Educators and experts who are pro school uniforms believe that uniforms contribute positively to students' behavior. They believe that when students wear uniforms, they feel more professional and behave accordingly. Many educators believe that students can become distracted by fashion trends and status symbol clothing. Therefore, when all students are dressed in regulation uniforms, there is less focus on fashion in the classroom and more focus on learning.

should school uniforms be made compulsory in schools
The wealthier people would tend to look down and shun the poorer people as it gives them a chance to flaunt their wealth. When students wear school uniforms, it shows the similarities between them, and not the differences. Each school has their own rule of law and based on that, students need to obey on that law and respect. When a student wears a uniform, it shows a sign of dignity and it means that student has confirmed the school expectations and that student feels that he/she belongs to that school.

CON Nobody is bullied because of what clothes they wear,...
Uniforms
Your "bullying" argument is complete nonsense. Kids are bullied because how many friends they have, How rich they are, How intelligent they are, How attractive they look, How fit they are. Nobody is bullied because of what clothes they wear, Unless they wear filthy and old clothes (so don't wear filthy and old clothes! ). And even if you are bullied because of your clothes, You don't get to force everyone to wear uniforms. Other students aren't responsible if you are bullied for what you wear. If you're already bullied, Forcing everyone to wear uniforms won't help you: kids will still bully you. Your "easier to choose what to wear" argument is also wrong. Like I said before, You don't get to force others to wear uniforms just because you have some problems. If you want, Wear one tracksuit for the whole year: then it will be very easy for you to choose. You said that tracksuits can get as dirty as uniforms. Exactly! Another reasons why uniforms are bad. Uniforms may seem good, But the cost far outweighs any benefit. Nobody is bullied because of what clothes they wear, Unless they wear filthy and old clothes (so don't wear filthy and old clothes! ).

Uniforms may seem good, But the cost far outweighs any benefit. Uniforms would have to be designed and manufactured en masse, Millions of them. If kids are each given two pairs like you said they are it would cost even more. Staff would have to enforce the dress code. Someone who loses or ruins their uniform would have to get a new one, And the school would have to replace it. It's far easier to have a simple dress-code and not force all students to wear uniforms.

School uniforms should be banned.
Before beggining, I would like to make some notes. First of all, I apologize for the small font last round, it was an error. Secondly, I also forgot to cite my sources. Here they are: [1]http://www.lettersofnote.com... [2]http://www.dailymail.co.uk... Now to continue on to the debate with this big, readable font. REFUTATIONS "Temmo you fail to realize that the topic is suppose to say school uniforms should not be banned.Regardless if you refute my points you yourself have failed to state any points." There is no need for me to provide any points. You are supposed to make points on why it should be banned since you are the instagator. Me as the contender am only required to refute your points, and explain how they are false. "If you were as intelligent as you seemed you would have put points.Now the win is mine." Please refrain from personal attacks. Due to this comment, you have already lost points for conduct. Furthermore, the win isn't yours because I proved your arguments wrong. "(Note: Temmo you say assasination is creative only in the eyes of a killer.You again fail at stating the point.)" False, I for one find some methods of assasination quite creative, and I am not a killer. "Freedom of speech regardless you got off point how do you know most people dont like creativity." How do I know? Over 1 million results on google of people who hate art and creativity, including myself. "And if they dont then at least the do not have to wear the exact same thing everyday." I had a uniform in grade school and I loved it. It is fair to make them wear clothes due to all the benefits they present. "My point about bulling is that weather you have ripped jeans or silk trousers you will still be made fun of about the following: the way your face looks,your hair looks,your look (in general),or a yo mama joke.My point is that bullies will always find something to make fun of weather its your clothes of not." Did you even read my argument? I said people will still get bullied. However, with uniforms, 1 method of bullying is gone, so bullying is diminished. You fail to meet your BoP, and still fail to make any valid argument. I have no need to make any points.

School Uniforms
As the speaker may have valuable points such as discipline, it still causes horrendous conformity. Simply put, conformity and discipline is like the military; such an act on small children in early education makes them machines. With Syria, that worn torn country has emboldened students with their blue uniforms (washingtontimes.com). Clearly, this is contradictory to “land of free.” To add, it apparently “[interferes] students' right to choose their dress…[Violating] First Amendment rights (Mitchell and Knechtle, 2003).” Thus, apparently this is militarization and constitutional infringement. With finance, parents should know how to spend wisely; if they afford new “kicks” every season, they certainly can afford at least 7 pairs of clothes.

School uniforms should be required
Clothing is one of the best ways for kids to express themselves, and with guidlines and rules, students are able to be themselves without being distracting. It's not fair limiting kid's closet because of uncomfortable uniforms, which could actually hurt one's education, because it may not be comfortable enough for the student to be able to pay attention. Uniforms are too strict.
