[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS does not have a uniform or dress code after middle school. And they should .....[/quote] It's fine to cite the fact that some prestigious private schools require uniforms. But the history and connotations of uniforms in urban public schools are very different. [/quote] The OP's suggestion was apparently that the uniform is responsible for the poor student performance. If that were the case, the "prestigious private schools" would see similarly poor performance. Since they do not, I think we can safely conclude that other factors, such as poverty, are responsible for poor performance and that the existence of uniforms in both situations is incidental.[/quote] Or that public uniforms correlate also with schools having a general lack of discipline, gang activity, etc.[/quote]
