Topic space viewSchools should not require their students to wear uniforms
Hello and thank you for joining my debate I will be arguing not in favor of requiring students to wear uniforms in schools. This is how the debate will be layed out: 1st round: Acceptence only (anything more will be an automatic forfeit)!
(GY) School uniform should be abolished
uniforms are ugly also.
# SHORTER SCHOOL HOURS# YES OR NO (please click yes)
you have my congrats. Your thick skull got the message to your new brain. Your now evolved! You fool, the give us homework to go and see if we know what we learned. longer hours still means homework you idiot. the less school we have, the harder it'll be to fit in homework in the puzzle, since we would have instead of around 7-8 hours, we'll have around 4-5 hours a day. Try doing an entire 4 lessons of physics in around 30 minutes! not possible. No long periods, no hour long lunches (trust me, they are quite dull. they make me want to do more physics) and no wasting mornings getting stressed about a huge math test, or getting bored to death from lectures (i had to tazer my friend awake) or even spending time in trouble. Less school is less bullying, less wearing uniforms, and less, well, school. thus being said, i need to tell you 2 things. 1: i would like to friends with you, seeing of i find you able to be up to my level of mind, and 2: i have a Halo marathon to go to, have a nice day :0
School dress code
I am a 15 year old boy from Mount Vernon Washington, I go to LaVenture middle school and i was assigned an CBA Argument assignment and i was given 2 different topics to argue *Dress code* or *Gun rights* i chose to argue against dress code. In my opinion dress code is pretty dumb and taken too far and people are too dramatic about this topic. I'll accept this debate. And personally i feel that the teachers and staff are more focused on what the students are wearing than what we are learning and it should not be this way, students should be able to express themselves and be who they want no matter where they are at. I don't agree with this opinion. Teachers are employed by the school teach, not to check what clothes the students are wearing. If teachers feel that a student violates the dress code or student handbook, they are obligated to report them for it. The problem with people wearing whatever they want is it is distracting to everyone around them, causing everyone to lose the ability to learn. Dress code also teaches people professionalism in the workplace. People will not go to work in booty shorts and a tank top, therefore they should learn from an early age how to be professional. Just like a male wouldn't go to work in a sleeveless shirt and a speedo. At my school the rule that is mostly enforced is you cannot wear more than 2 clothing pieces of the same color because of gang intimidation. I'm personally not from an environment where gang intimidation is a problem, so I don't know much about this subject. The other arguments that i have seen so far that are for dress code say that girls wearing "short shorts" and "spaghetti straps" are disgusting and distracting for boys, i do not agree with that i go to school to get my education not to hear my fellow classmates being interrupted by a teacher or a peer telling them to go change. Although you may not personally be affected by girls showing a lot of skin, the general public of males are. It is human instinct to not be able to look away from a girl who is not effectively covering parts of her body that males find attractive, distracting every male in the classroom, and also the females who notice. But this applies to females as well. If a male were to attend the school day showing abs or bulge, it would be distracting to females. It is just biological instinct. I really do not care what a person is wearing that is there choice to wear what they want not other students or teachers choice be who you want , that is what i think about this topic. This would be like saying it is a child's decision to choose whether they can drink and smoke or drive a car. Some behaviors can't be fully assessed by people who's brains and common sense hasn't been fully developed yet. I think that education should be schools #1 priority. The words school and education are very close to synonymous. The problem with certain people's dress is that it prevents education when people go overboard for it. I have also seen people debating whether uniforms should be enforced all over if that were to come i can predict that rule will be overruled and quick, The uniforms what about when this time of the year comes around and it scorching hot inside classrooms and you are sitting there trying to focus on work while you are sitting in a vest and pants in 80-110 degree heat do you really think that you are going to be focused on schoolwork no you are going to be airing out your vest or dress shirt and wiping the sweat off your forehead or would you rather show up to school on a hot day wearing some loose shorts and a loose t-shirt. But there should be a limit to clothing it is common sense for obvious things not to wear are you really let you son/daughter go to school in a swimsuit or boxers and slides. Dress code and uniforms are very different topics. I have also seen people people saying that the students are getting suspended or getting detentions for violating the dress code i do not agree with these punishments being given to students the consequences should be on the parent/guardian of the student because i am pretty sure the kids are not buying themselves the "Offensive or provocative clothing" it is the parent/guardians fault for allowing their child to go to school in clothes that will violate the dress code. Students should be fully aware of the dress code, as well as parents. If a student gets suspended or placed in detention for not wearing adequate clothing, it is their fault. They knew the rules, yet still did what they did. Although the kids are not buying the clothes, they are typically the ones picking them out. I agree that parents should have more responsibility, but that isn't an argument as to banning dress code. I have also read articles stating that dress code is sexist towards girls and i agree, i have noticed that there are more dress code violations by girls do to the fact that there are obvious more distracting differences between girls and boys but that doesn't mean that girls should feel targeted by their peers , this does not mean teachers should let things fly there should always be rules and those rules should be followed whether or not you agree with them this is just the way things are at the moment and if students really want a change more them should stand up and make a movement towards a change. Typically, dress code applies to both male and female. Males can't wear muscle shirts and speedos to school, just like girls can't wear tank tops and booty shorts. The reason there are more dress code violations for girls it because 1, girls are typically more often the culprit due to "fashion" presented in society, and 2, because for girls there is more to regulate. Females have more to cover up than guys do, and that's just a biological fact. Don't blame the school for that, blame society.
Public School Students should wear School Uniforms
Extend all arguments
School Pupils Should Be Required To Wear School Uniforms
So you agree with me? Not going to be much of a debate then.
School Pupils Should Be Required To Wear School Uniforms
My opponent has forfeited.
All Schools Need Uniforms
Yes but someone can easily sneak into a school without being noticed wearing normal student things it would be much harder to sneak into a school if you didn't have the uniform for the school and school is not supposed to be for "expressing" them selves that's what the internet, life is for school is for working and learning.
School uniform should be discontinued
I like some uniforms but the current ones should be discontinued and we should get new ones like ones made of cotton and silk that dont rip but yes thats a fantasy so we should discontinue them until new ones are made 💟
School Uniforms should be allowed in Shcool
I accept
should public school students wear uniforms
I dont think so
must teacher's also wear school uniform
No, I do think there should be a dress code. No mistake. But a uniform would mean all the male teachers dressed the same, and vice versa for the female teachers. These are professionals, so they absolutely should maintain an air of professionalism, but uniforms wouldn't be in any way helpful. As far as for students, if a teacher is judging them on their fashion choices, that is a whole separate issue. But some sort of dress code should apply. Like, no ripped clothes, no underwear showing, etc.
High school students should wear uniforms.
you and me were in schools. I think that we both hated uniform. There are many problems with the uniform, because when we didn't wear, all teachers abused us, it affects to the psychology of youth. Furthermore, it is business, what I mean is that makers uniform sell us on high price, so not everyone can afford it. In anyway, youth want to buy other styled things, added to it they have to buy uniform. so it is bad for families who are financially lower. think of it!!!
Private Schools Should Have Their Students Wear Uniforms
Ok, first off, kids should be able to express their personality through their clothes. Even if its a private school, if kids don't get to dress how they want, then they might judge on something else, for example they will make fun of them for their personality. I know this first hand. I went to a private school that made us wear a uniform. For us kids it wasn't a big deal, but then as we got older it started to become a big deal. Kids would tease you for your choice of words and anything else they weren't used to. Then I went to a public school, and yes I got some dirty looks for what I wore but it wasn't as bad as getting made fun of for your personality. It wasn't just me though, my friends went through the exact same thing. We all thought the same things, it was depressing to even walk in the school. I hated it so much, but children should be able to dress how they please, because if your able to pay for a private school then you'd think you would be able to pay for some clothes that you like.
High School / Secondary school Students should be required to wear a uniform
My opponent has not provided a single compelling argument for instituting a compulsory, required by law uniform policy in all high schools and secondary schools. What my opponent does do is say that a uniform policy MIGHT enhance the quality of education. But as I pointed out, there is no study done in a controlled setting that says that uniforms will actually increase quality of education. Which means that the evidence supporting uniform policies are bogus. My opponent did not deny this claim, therefore my arguments are sustained. My opponent kept bringing up claims that uniform policies would do 'this' or do 'that', would provide 'this' kind of benefit, but NONE of the information my opponent cited actually had anything to do with supporting a uniform policy. My opponent brings up sources that say that greater focus needs to be placed on academics and then uses that as leverage for a uniform policy. But how the heck does a uniform policy have anything to do with increasing academic focus? My opponent makes no such argument. The most obvious way to improve academics is to improve the quality of education, not to enforce silly uniform policies.
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
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.
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.
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!
