What has been your experience with school uniforms?
I spent 17 years teaching in a school with a dress code and this year, I’m teaching at a school with a “uniform”. Both are very low income schools. The dress code, by far, was much more conducive to the education process. Students who attend with a dress code have hand-me-downs, shared clothes. The students who attend with a uniform miss school because they have no more white shirts, they shirts are stained and in shoddy condition and when it’s cold, they don’t have sweaters in the right color and get sent home and are not educated.
