Private Schools Should Have Their Students Wear Uniforms

The patrons of private schools should be the ones to decide if they want to send their students to a school with uniforms or to a school without these uniforms so their children can learn to handle peer pressure in a controlled environment. 2. Parents should be able to judge if their child is having trouble focusing and is likely to be distracted by clothing. 3. Parents and their children should have the right to decide if they want to implement this band-aid solution to bullying or not. 4. Parents and school staff should be able to the safety benefits of uniforms are worth it. 5. See number 3 6. This is the most ridiculous claim I"ve ever read. Regardless, the patron families should decide for themselves if that"s a valid concern or not. 7. Again, risk management should be up to the parents to assess. As a side note, I will say that uniforms are more commonly found in higher SES schools, so any correlation between uniforms and benefits that might be due to being a nicer school in general should be studied in a controlled, longitudinal manner. There are neighborhoods where gang violence is a problem and neighborhoods where it"s not. It seems silly to use a blanket solution for a wide variety of neighborhoods where the families living in them are most capable of diagnosing what they need and what they don"t. The nature of a private institution is one in which it can decide for itself what its policies are, as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

School Uniform Should Be Banned

Thanks for responding so quickly. During this round I'm going to be refuting your R1 points, and in the next round I'm going to be defending my own case from attacks that you've made, if you made any. ----- Rebuttals: "First of all, pupils should be able and should be encouraged to express themselves and be creative with what they wear" First, what is more important: having the ability to wear a t-shirt, or having the ability to deter crime massively? Second, you will still have the ability to decorate your clothes in moderation. Obviously you cannot scorch weed leaves into your outfit, but if you want to tuck up your sleeves or wear your hair a certain way, or have a certain bow, then that should be okay. School uniforms do not diminish the outlet for creativity. "Own clothes are more comfortable and in the cold, school uniforms aren't warm enough" The definition of school uniforms isn't cold, miserable clothing, it's just a strict set of guidelines for someone to wear at school. Wear your own clothes in the cold! Nobody is keeping you from doing that! But once you are in school, you should just wear the uniforms, since they have so many advantages. "Surely we can wear badges to say which school we are from, especially on school trips!" wat.png "If we are comfortable wearing our own clothes in class we should be able to focus better in class." I don't really like being that guy, but what's your source for this? I have a card in my case that says that uniforms actually INCREASE productivity and attentiveness during class, so we must render your argument invalid. "School uniform can be very expensive as compared to our own clothes as well as if not washed quick enough it can pose a real problem." Not if the school pays for them, which I suggest to every single school that is considering having uniforms. "No matter what you dress students who bully others will always find a reason to do so" Look at my third contention, then get back to me with this argument. But seriously,60% less bullying occurs as a direct result of implementing uniforms. Tell me that isn't good... "Making everyone wear the same clothes is not going to make the problem magically disappear."

Private Schools Should Have Students Wear Uniforms

When the subject of mandatory school uniforms comes into question, the first words on opposing parents" lips is in regards to kids" lost sense of individuality and freedom of expression. Kids need to mark themselves as part of the herd but still be wholly individual from their peer groups, which is why uniforms can sometimes be seen as problematic. Some parents also worry that when the freedom to express themselves through their wardrobe is removed, kids will resort to more extreme forms of expression like piercings and tattoos. School should be a breeding ground for acceptance and tolerance, as it"s a smaller-scale version of the world at large in many cases. Kids need to learn to accept and celebrate each other"s differences, up to and including the way that different cultures dress. Some religions have strict rules about what is and is not considered acceptable dress, and school uniforms may not always fall in line with those religious requirements. Allowing some kids dispensation on religious grounds will only make them stand out more in a sea of uniforms, potentially leading to bullying and harassment. For some parents, being able to purchase clothing at the beginning of the school year that adheres to the uniform code is a financial relief. After all, most uniforms are comprised of staple garments easily purchased at discount stores. For others, however, being forced to purchase specific clothing infringes upon their kids" right to a free education.

Public school students should wear uniforms

When we go to get real Job, chances are that we will all have to wear uniforms. No matter if you"re a nurse, teacher, or McDonald"s worker, chances are that you will have to wear some type of uniform. It would stand to reason that, because we are forced to wear uniforms when we grow up, we would be given the freedom to dress how we like. Because youth is associated with being the time in your life when you can enjoy not having to worry about anything, it would make sense that parents and the teachers would realize that students need freedom to enjoy their youth dressing how they wish.

That public schools should enforce uniforms

Ok, Attacking my opponents rebuttal line by line. (In my school there are rich kids and poor kids. My opponent doesn't understand the fact that casual wear is discriminating no matter what. Even if one kid is offended) I agree, casual wear is somewhat discriminating. But as I stated before, discrimination will always exist and uniforms will not fix that problem. Yes some public schools have rich and poor kids, but what the negative is trying to state is that as long as private schools exists so will the discrimination between the rich and poor. (Taco Bell is not known for their uniforms. Uniforms don't carry power. The Nazi's were not known for their uniforms. They were known for killing millions of people. My opponent neglects the power of casual wear. We all have stereotypes for clothing. ) Ok Taco bell was an example of IF they had uniforms but as you stated, other stores wear uniforms swell. Uniforms do carry power because they represent the authority that chose it. True, the Nazi were remembered for their killing but also the uniforms. Just take for example the cross they bore on their right arm. Whenever we see that cross we think of the Nazi's and Hitler. And again yes stereo types will exist within casual wear but it will always exist. (Personally, I have been made fun of because of my clothes. When we neglect uniforms we neglect equality. People have killed themselves because of people making fun of their clothes. Its not their fault if they can't afford it. Why should we put kids through hell in order to have some freedom. I agree with freedom. But freedom has the purpose fulfill happiness.) When we neglect uniform we do not neglect equality because how can you achieve equality by FORCING uniforms on to people that's supposedly going to stop stereo types. When we neglect casual wear, we neglect culture, freedom, creativity. What you don't understand is that if you do enforce uniforms, people cant afford it and will obviously do something desperate to get it leading to more problems. Because uniforms do not solve stereotypes or any other problems, I urge a Con vote.

school unifroms should not be banned

Dude. I literally went through your argument PIECE BY PIECE and debated it part by part. You STILL do not show ANY evidence for what you state. For all I and ANYBODY who sees this knows, you are LYING about everything. Now, I do not THINK you are, but you don't have ANY research from RELIABLE sources other than your own words. You NEED sources especially when you give SO MUCH data and stats! Here is the rest of the argument I never got to put WITH SOURCES: School uniforms create equality.At school it doesn't matter which type of family one comes from.Everyone is equal.I think those who say they should be banned want to show off how rich they are and bully other people Bullies exist despite uniforms. Ask anyone. Uniforms have NO guarantee. "If they want a school of only rich kids ,let them go and create their own school!So imagine being bullied for clothes.How would you feel?" 1. Not only rich kids are bullies. Some schools don"t have any rich kids. 2. Again, teach not to bully about ANYTHING, not just clothing! "Moreover ,research has shown that Here is the rest of the argument I never got to put WITH SOURCES: School uniforms create equality.At school it doesn't matter which type of family one comes from.Everyone is equal.I think those who say they should be banned want to show off how rich they are and bully other people Bullies exist despite uniforms.
