[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why no uniforms in MCPS? Because MCPS isn't

1. an expensive private school
2. a Catholic private school
3. a poor urban public school district

OP, how would wearing uniforms instill discipline? Besides discipline in doing laundry, for the parent who is responsible for the laundry...

Kids would focus more on studies and other things than remarking/keeping up with latest fashion. Reduce Bullying for kids who do not follow the latest and greatest trends.
It would have everyone at same level in terms of clothing - rich/poor/middle [/quote]

In my opinion uniforms don't do anything like that[/quote]

Well every study in the world shows otherwise, but you keep your opinion Joan! [/quote]

Most of these studies are about opinions of uniforms or studies where uniform wearing is universal in public education. It's really difficult to actually isolate out uniforms as the determining factor of behavior change.

An effective study would be to take half the school and require them to wear uniforms and the other half to not and study discipline issues after a year. [/quote]
