Girl In School Uniform Outfit

The efficacy of uniforms, in improving academic performance and student attitudes, is often debated.
A study published in The Journal of Educational Research by David L. Brunsma, of the University of Alabama, and Kerry A. Rockquemore, of the University of Notre Dame, states:
"The findings indicate that student uniforms have no direct effect on substance use, behavioral problems, or attendance. A negative effect of uniforms on student academic achievement was found."
In Vivian Gussin Paley's book, White Teacher, she discusses the need to embrace differences, not ignore them.
