[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people think that lower-income families like uniforms and wealthier ones do not? is there evidence for this? -another white mom who is happy her kid is in a uniform school now (easier and less expensive; uniforms are pretty inexpensive and need fewer outfits for weekends and evenings)[/quote] [b]There’s evidence that uniform policies not only do not help disadvantaged students, but harm them when strictly enforced because on-task, but incorrectly dressed students are pulled from instruction to discipline them for being out of code[/b].[/quote] This. It's great that all the white moms who've commented here think uniforms are hunky dory, but there's a different connotation when black/brown kids are wearing uniforms. The whole militaristic culture that surrounds their original implementation is a turn-off for me, as a black parent.[/quote]
