Uniforms at School!

"I agree" Well that's good. "it is entirely likely that the only reason the bully was picking on the kid in the first place was because of what the kid was wearing. If clothing no longer mattered then this would no longer be a problem" Sure, but no evidence has been shown that they will stop bullying just at that single point. "Well you suggested that bullies would bully somebody over the weekends. I'm suggesting that the bully would not want to waste time looking for somebody to bully over the weekends. Usually this is done at school. But this is getting off topic. This debate is about uniforms" I did. .. After *you*'suggested that it was the new solution to bullying. Also, notice how Pro gives no sources to support most bullying taking place at school. "Somebody who wore uniforms all his/her life would not nothing else. In other words, there would be different expectations on clothing and people would not feel uncomfortable. " "Not nothing else" I don't think I could respond to he first sentence, sorry mate. I would say that if a girl feels uncomfortable in a skirt, they feel uncomfortable in a skirt. We also have the problem now that Pro dodges the argument I made regarding how uniforms restrict more active kids. "Days, weeks, months. It varies" Yet again, no source. "uniforms are uncomfortable" I'll count this as a concession? "Does that mean people have to be comfortable for every hour of their lives? " Of course not, I never said that. I do believe that people should not be forced into discomfort. Also, Pro ignores the fact that people don't have to be "Uncomfortable" or "comfortable," every second of life. It could be neither actually. "Also, I would like to point out that with modern technology, uniforms can become very comfortable" How? You haven't provided a source, and you still have yet to go into any detail regarding this modern technology. "As comfortable as regular clothes" Yet again, I can't just take your word. I need a source to prove this mate. "Children get free education at school so yes, they should respect the school" Yet again, there are many other ways to pay your respects as you even admitted with the analogy regarding USA. You ignored a neutral viewpoint argument, and pretty much everything I have said in this section of arguments. Pro also ignored the fact that not every single student in America gets free school- Some actually go to a private school, and pay for it. "For some reason, the government can afford tens of thousands of dollars on sports. New soccer and football fields every 10 years or so. So yes, I think the government/school can afford the money for uniforms" No sources to prove this. Pro has so far presented no plan on how to get the money. We have a debt problem you know. [1] "Students don't listen to dress codes. That is a big problem today. Also, if there were uniforms then there would be no need for dress codes" Sure, but no proof has been showed that all students ignore the dress code. "When I went to school, there were many people who noticeably wore different clothes every day (including shoes). Many people even admitted to wearing 7 different outfits per week" In the last round, you were referring to days, not weeks. Also, this is a logical fallacy. .. [2] Yet again he fails to provide a single source. "My opponent will have to show that it is impossible to express yourself when kids have to wear uniforms" This is a very outrageous claim made by Pro. I said it was *harder* to express yourself, as it limits your options drastically. "I provided statistics that suggest that students do better at school if uniforms were put into place" "I explained how students who wear uniforms at school will learn how to dress appropriately when they have a job in the future" This was countered by me suggesting that students would follow the dress code for work as they did for school, which was then never addressed by Pro again. .. "My opponent constantly tried to say that I presented no proof. However my opponent didn't present too much either" Another logical fallacy. [3] "He did not prove that bullies would find something else to bully about if a student wore uniforms. " You're right I never did. We both couldn't find any statistics, and you agreed to that before. .. "I agree" "Also, my opponent never really proved that bullies would purposely try and seek out the person they want to bully over the weekends" I never said they would, I just pointed out that on the weekends the bully's may see the child and bully him/her. It does not nullify all clothing related abuse in other words. .. Pro did state at one point of the debate that this would be a law. The problems of this is that he never figured out how the government could afford this, he never properly addressed that it limits captivity and how one could express themselves, nor did he address properly how kids would be restricted in the uniforms and could not do many different activities. I suggest Pro did not meet his burden of proof. [1] . http://useconomy.about.com... [2] . https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com... [3] . https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com...
