[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The relationship is starkly clear in DC. Schools without uniforms are at the top of every performance metric. It can't be a coincidence. It's not just income related because lower income students in schools without uniforms do better than students with similar incomes in schools with uniforms.[/quote] Low income students in schools with income diversity do better than low income students in schools where most of the students are poor. I think the correlation is that in schools where more students are poor, uniforms are more likely. Probably other things are more likely too: increased disciplinary actions against kids; more drill-based instruction vs. less exploratory/project-based instruction; rote memorization; narrower curriculum with more emphasis on math and language arts and less on arts/music/PE.[/quote] Do you think uniforms are a good thing? For some schools, but not all? If so, why?[/quote]
