School uniforms should be banned.
REMINDER! Next round, you are not permitted to write any new argument, or post anything
new. You are only permitted to write "thanks for the debate". This allows us to have
an equal amount of rounds to debate. Breaking this rule shall result in a 7 point
deduction. Do not ask for the rule to be revoked if you break it, because you have
been warned. REBUTTALS Before beggining, I would like to point something out. Pro
only states down sides of uniforms. This itself is not good enough to state a valid
reason to ban them. For example, pizza can be unhealthy, does that meen we should
ban pizza? No! Just because it has downsides doesn't mean it should be banned. "The
reasons why we shouldn't have school uniforms are the cost doesn't meet the wadges
of families trying to make ends meet." The thing is, with uniforms you aren't immediatly
required to pay. You can pay for them at any given time in the year. So, it does meet
the wages of these families, and in fact as proven earlier, they cost much less than
the average amount you would pay for your child's clothing. "Secondly it doesn't diminish
bulling.How is this possible let me explain say I have a blue tie and then I give
my opponent the same tie sure the ties are the same but we both look different in
the same looking ties.Basically my point is everyone can wear the same clothing but
how the look in that clothing is an entirely different story." Once again, you fail
to properly read my argument. I stated that it diminishes bullying. This occurs because
sometimes children get bullied because their clothing isn't "cool". Now with uniforms, no one has cool clothes, so people can't get bullied for their clothing, regardless
of how they look in it. So, even though bullying still occurs, it is at least slightly
diminished. Also, this still isn't a valid reason to which why we should ban uniforms. "Also con stated on google there are 1 million people don't care about creativity
or art that is not alot there are seven billion people world wide and when viewed
from that scale that small compared to seven billion." Perhaps there are various who
care, but there are definitly more who don't care. First of all, a 7th of the population
is a huge number. Second of all, more than half of the world is in poverty. They have
no time to care about creativity. And so, more people don't care about creativity
than those who do. "BULLYING PREVENTION is illogical because I could had out a billion
people the same suit and i promise you all of them will look different sure IT IS
THE SAME UNIFORM but the people wearing them will look different." Refer to previous
rebuttal. "Restricts inapropriate clothing this one is also illogical sure uniforms restrict bad or improper clothing but the one thing is that WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND
COMES TO SCHOOL WITH A BIKINI!!!!!We are humans no nianderthals we know right and wrong.We have proper
sense.Cons statement is possibly a derogatory slur calling our species inferior and
dumb.And if that's not what it meant then what dos it mean we have common sense to
dress correct.We have parents that tell us not to wear a bikini to school or wait they don't tell us that why because we have enough sense to correctley dress."
This is where you are wrong. Since this is a long contention, I shall have a long
rebuttal. First of all, regardless if it's a bikini or mini skirt, it is innapropriate.
Also, regardless of proper sense, people still wear innapropriat clothing to school. I did not imply our species is dumb, I am implying we make mistakes. And your comment
about parents, you honestly have no idea about children and parents in general. First
of all, children are very smart, they can easily sneak inapropriate clothing in their
bags and change at school. In doing so, parents can't stop them. Here is a little story I found of a fellow
parent who experianced I similar dilema. "My husband and I and are the parents of three wonderful children, but we've been
having some issues lately with our 15 year old, our middle child. She continues to wear skirts that are much too short for her, including to school" "We both have to leave for work early in the morning and rely on our kids to get
ready to go to school by themselves in the mornings, and we are unable to verify our children's attire;
in fact, we first found out our daughter was wearing miniskirts was when the school called to tell us. " "I explained to her that when I was growing up, we were in a
strict religious community where modesty was a big deal and we were expected to wear
skirts that were almost ankle length" [1] As you can now see, people have jobs. They
don't always have time to check on their kids. Also, you can now see kids are good
at sneaking things, their parents only found out after the school called them! You also notice that the lady writing this article somewhat had a uniform aswell, and she learned a variety of lessons in doing so, such as respect and modesty.Parents
aren't always around, and so kids can easily break rules. However, with uniforms, these rule breaking children will experiance severe consequences, preventing them
from breaking it and wearing innapropriate clothing. --------------------------------------------
At this point, ending our debate, my opponent presents no valid argument whatsoever
to which why uniforms should be banned. He/she also drops various of my arguments. Also, he/she has failed
to meet any of his/her BoP at all! This is pretty much an automatic loss. I now continue
with my final contentions. CONTENTION 4: OVERALL IMPROVEMENT Studies show that children
overall improve due to uniforms. They tend to not be troublesome out side of school, because due to their uniforms, they can easily be identified. Also, girls enjoy it due to the fact that male counterparts
do not offend her, preventing harrasement. [2] CONTENTION 5: MORE SLEEP A variety
of people choose what they wan't to wear in the morning. This makes them wake up early.
With uniforms, this isn't an issue, and so people get more sleep. Sleep is important for a growing
body. CONCLUSION There is no valid reason to ban uniforms. They have endless benefit, from preventing bullying to improving studies and overall
behaviour. They also prevent inapropriate clothing, save money and induce more sleep.
It does not go against the first amendament, and does not take away freedom of expression.
Banning it is the same as banning pizza. My opponent has no valid reason whatsoever
on why they should be banned, he/she only states the down sides of uniforms in general. They also make false accusations, such as me " calling our species inferior
and dumb." and claiming uniforms go against the first amendament. In addition, they fail to meet any of their BoP,
and lack any source of proof whatsoever. I on the other hand have a variety of sources,
and BoP isn't even on me. I explained a variety of reasons why uniforms are beneficial, and proved all my opponent's arguments wrong, whereas they dropped
the majority of mine. Thanks for the debate overall however! Sources: [1]http://parenting.stackexchange.com...

more because I am nice: REMINDER! Next round, you are not permitted to write any new
argument, or post anything new. You are only permitted to write "thanks for the debate".
This allows us to have an equal amount of rounds to debate. Breaking this rule shall
result in a 7 point deduction. Do not ask for the rule to be revoked if you break
it, because you have been warned.
