DEBATE PRO school uniforms
The wearing of uniforms is a greatly discussed issue, especially since we now know that it is a distinct possibility the London District Separate School Board will adopt a uniform policy in the coming years. Uniforms will give our school a more mature and serious look, as well as projecting a positive image to the community. Uniforms will instill a sense of pride and discipline in students, and promote a sense of respect and security. School is a place to learn. Many students take advantage of class time as a time to goof off and talk with friends. If you were in uniform, you might start to treat teachers with the respect they deserve. You might even begin to treat fellow students and yourself with that same respect that is so lacking in our schools today. Just as you act mature when you dress up to go to a semi-formal dance, dressing in a uniform every day will force us to act like adults. You might say that you don't want to dress the same as everyone else every day. Well, you won't have to. Uniforms have more options than you may think.

You would only have to buy parts of the uniform once or twice a year, and then you would have the rest of your money to spend on whatever you want. School uniforms are cost effective. The average price for an entire uniform, which you could wear for the duration of your high school career, (provided, of course, you don't grow out of it!) is under $400. Compare this to 3 pairs of designer jeans, and three tops, anywhere from $350 up, which you might buy every year. Not to mention that the uniform will last for many years, and when you grow out of it, it can be sold, or you could pass it down to siblings. Uniforms eliminate the need for new clothes every year.
