In a single sentence, this study showed that uniforms did not lead to an improvement in attendance, behavior, drug use, or academic achievement.
We dress our K-8 students up in uniforms. Have done so for a number of years now. Has our gang problem disappeared? Is there something else we should try?
Uniform yes or no articles are one of the most common issues debated/researched/studied in education. For every study you find that that says no, there is another that says yes. "The research says," is just not an angle that should move the reader to choose one side or another. Sorry :cry:
