[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago there was an article in the NYTimes about mandatory uniforms at NY schools in the 70s or 80s. It was a leveling socially. Everyone's grades picked up, as did attendance. Then for some reason, the mandate was dropped and yes, the grades went down and so did attendance. I don't have a link to this to hand, but I'm sure you can find it on google / the NYTimes website.[/quote] I always laugh when folks think that uniforms are leveling socially. They are not. There are other ways in which class difference will avail themselves. The shoes kids wear, their bookbag, the trips for break, etc. The uniforms do not level socially they just remove some distraction from students.[/quote]
