Intro:
Discussion of problems with education (A Nation at Risk?)
Uniforms as a possible solution
DEFINE TERMS (I think this is all-caps level important. so sue me)
Transition to thesis, moderate claims of advocates
Body:
Point one:
Legality
Point two:
Academics
Point three:
Security
Point four:
Behavior
Conclusion
Summarize.
Show how data does not refute claim made in thesis.
Restate stakes of education
Present as uniforms as a helpful tool in a broader strategy
EDIT: I changed the order to put legality first, as discussing uniforms without establishing that they are legal is pointless.
Dont you think though that forcing kids to wear unsightly uniforms would take away from their sense of individuality? Just saying, i dont see how it would effect behavior seeing as they would express themselves in other ways, but hey thats just my opinion. I am interested to see what you do with this, so you could prove me wrong. Later.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm trying to sweep that under the proverbial rug as much as possible, because showing why I think uniforms could be beneficial is different from persuading kids to go along with it. My theoretical policy allows for some expression, though. And, my audience isn't kids, it's their parents, teachers, and administrators.
ReplyDeletethanks for the feedback
