[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If uniforms are so great, why do virtually none of the city’s best performing DCPS schools have them?[/quote]

Because uniforms are feature of poor schools, not the wealthy, high performing WOTP schools.[/quote]

Many if not most tony private schools WOTP have uniforms, or at least a strict dress code (e.g. sports jackets and ties for boys).[/quote]

Actually I think most don’t. NCS (not upper)/STA are outliers. [/quote]

Yep, most do not have uniforms.  I think the Cathedral schools are outliers, along with maybe the British School.  [/quote]

Not sure what you're saying here.  Traditionally, Episcopal schools follow models inherited from England, where school uniforms have been standard for centuries.  Almost all Catholic schools in this country have gone with some type of uniform from the get go.  We're not short on either Episcopal or Catholic schools here in DC, where public schools appealed to few UMC families before this century outside Upper NW.[/quote]
