Hmmm… maybe by what they saw their child walk out of the house in that morning, so uniforms actually could cause a problem instead of help fix them.      School uniforms…

When looking at the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) there are skills that all students need to know, no matter their age. Not only that, but English language arts standards for first grade state that students should “with guidance and support from adults [students will] use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing” according to the Nevada Academic Content Standards…

The study concluded that overall the crime rate dropped 91%, sexual offenses were reduced by 96%, and incidents of vandalism went down 69%. The huge reduction in problem areas led school officials to believe that improvements were solely attributed to the new uniform policy, however, there is a gray area not addressed in their conclusion.
