Con #2

a problem that comes along with having school uniforms is the cost of them. Many families that are used to buying second hand clothing for their kids, may have problems buying high priced uniforms for their kids to wear. "There is the issue of cost. Many parents shop for their children's clothes at used and discount stores. Uniforms can cost more money than those types of clothes and families might not be able to afford them. This has remained the main reason of cons of school uniform to become popular. Also, these students would need to buy additional clothing to wear after school and on the weekends. That's double the amount of money a family would spend than they would without the uniforms" (Facts against uniforms).

Also, there is not a great economy right now, and having high priced uniforms certainly does not help families who may be going through tough times financially. School uniforms also have no use outside of school, so parents will need to buy a separate wardrobe for their kids when they are not in school. "In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school" (Cost of School Uniforms). "There are just as many experts who believe that the cost of school uniforms is a negative factor as those who see it as a positive factor. Some experts believe that it increases the amount of clothing parents will have to buy for their children because the children will still want and need clothing for the hours they are not in school" (School Uniforms). Cost is just another issue to show that school uniforms a pointless and have no use outside school. They are very costly and, many families could get cheaper clothing at discount stores for their kids.
