school's should not make you wear uniforms

First, let me start off by explaining myself( although it is mostly self explanatory):
school: an institution where instruction is given to persons under college age.
uniforms: an outfit or style worn by members of a group, or in this case, students in a school.
First of all, Uniforms are worn at schools so there won't be any gang colors being worn, and also so no one can make fun of you if you wear clothes from Wal-Mart, or a place that isn't "popular" like Hollister, or Aeropostale. But if someone is going to make fun of you because your not rich, they can still make fun of you. Uniforms don't hide how much money you have. And if someone is going to make fun of your clothes, and you have a uniform on, they will find something else to make fun of you for. And gangs can't be stopped just because they have to wear a uniform to school. They can "throw up" gang signs and stuff like that while they are at school, uniforms or not.
It is also not fair to the people who followed the dress code before the school got uniforms. If they had always worn what they were supposed to they shouldn't have to wear a uniform just because alot of other kids at their school didn't follow the dress code. They will feel like if they follow the rules, they still might get punished.
It will also make the kids, and some parents angry at the school. The school will get alot of calls from angry parents, and some of the kids might rebel, and stop doing their schoolwork.
I look forward to whomever I may be debating, no matter if I win or lose, it will be a fun debate.

First look at this site

isn't that an reason enough. there would be less of a threat of guns in school.

If we have school uniforms some of the bad kids wouldn't go to school and there would more learning to the good kids.

Thank you for debating against me, bgruber93. That was an interesting video. You said,"if we have school uniforms some of the bad kids wouldn't go to school and there would more learning to the good kids." well...not necessarily. If a kid wants to shoot someone bad enough, he will shoot them if he is at school or not. If he is even crazy enough to even think about that, he will do it anywhere. You can also still hide guns and knives in your school uniform. You can hide guns and knives in any kind of clothing. And that won't stop the "bad kids" from going to school.
Another reason why kids shouldn't have a uniform is because it doesn't let them express their individual style. Kids don't like it when they are told what to wear, especially if everyone else in the entire school has to wear it. The punks, preps, and other cliques will all look the same, and no one will like dressing the same way as another group.
According to http://www.geocities.com... uniforms have a negative effect on student academic achievement. Uniforms were thought to be able to bring up grades and attendance record, but they actually have the opposite effect.

If we make the school kids wear school uniforms they will pay less attention to what Susie is wearing and more on the task at hand. Like I showed on that video that kid was carrying like 13 guns if we were to have kids wearing uniforms that risk would cut down a lot

Actually, kids might be too upset because they have to wear uniforms to even focus. If you go to the link I posted above, it shows that uniforms have a negative effect on kids' school work and attendance. And like I said before, if someone wants to shoot someone bad enough, they will shoot them at another time and place if they can't do it at school.

Kids will also be upset when their friend is dead because the schools WON'T take the time to reduce the chance of another kid bringing in firearms and having a Columbine 2. We have to value life over feelings.

Thank You All
