Should students have to wear uniforms?

Hook
School uniforms may not fit or be comfortable for some individuals.
School uniforms are generally a lot more expensive than modern clothes.
Specialized Infomation
80% of schools in the world don't require any type of uniform and only 20% do require uniforms.
School uniforms are more common in private and Catholic schools than public schools.
Thesis Statement
School uniforms should not exist because they are expensive, they don't fit comfortably on some individuals, and they are useless.
Argument #1: Self-identity and self-expression is limited.
Some students love to express themselves with clothes because there are lots of different colours and patterns.
School uniforms may not be visually appealing for a lot of students.
The variety of clothes to choose from is limited.
Argument #3: They are expensive
Some families can't afford them.
They can cost $100 - $600 for each student.
The price is multiplied because they would have to constantly purchase new uniforms as the students grow.
Arugment #2: There is no point in them.
They are a waste of material to produce because after school, students are just going to change into their normal clothes.
They take up lots of extra space in your closet.
Clothes are clothes. There's nothing special about a school uniform.
