...and in the end you are just taking away liberties, but it doesn't matter, kids aren't people.
ROFL you bitch about ad hominems, grandstanding and pontification after calling your detractors "intolerarnt [sic] Nazi's[sic]!"
Your ONE study has already been countered, and you have continued to dodge, derail or deflect any question that is sent your way.
You still have failed to answer my question of "How do they way other kids dress affect YOUR child's education?"
Especially considering these kids don't even go to the same school, it is madness.
Your argument "I pay taxes, so I can dictate how it is run" as already been killed by numerous counterexamples, which you conveniently skirted by claiming they were irrelevant.
You have made no convincing argument.
By the way, I cited numerous studies:
Some interesting studies:
An Examination of the Effect of School Uniforms
on Student Achievement and Behavior
Having students wear uniforms has become a hot issue in many communities across the nation (Loesch, 1995). The issue of implementing a school uniform policy has both strong supporters and opposition. Those in favor of uniforms claim there are many advantages to instituting them: improved scholastic performance, student security, student discipline, and school morale (Caruso, 1996). Those who object to this idea claim that such a policy violates the First Amendment and that educators and schools will not see the dramatic effects its advocates claim (Caruso, 1996). Should school uniforms be required in order to better student achievement and behavior?
School uniforms seem to be making a difference in the public schools all over the country. One example would be the Long Beach Unified School District where students are required to wear uniforms. According to district teachers, the uniforms have constructed a better classroom/learning setting by curbing gang tension and the polarization associated with name brand clothing (Caruso, 1996). Research by Behling (1994) indicates that clothing can create a "halo effect," whereby a student in uniform is seen as better behaved, a high academic achiever, and someone with academic potential, particularly when they wear a "dress uniform," i.e., pants or skirt with a blazer.
A California school has found a successful formula for making uniforms into symbols of school pride (Loesch, 1995). School uniforms will level the playing field in classrooms by removing the messages of social and economic status carried in apparel (Dressed for Survival, 1994). However, uniforms tailored to individual schools may increase in value a school's sense of community and students' self-esteem (Dressed for Survival, 1994). School uniforms aim to improve school climate and reflect a sense of pride and affiliation.
Among the public school systems with a required uniform policy can document success by the 83,000 - student Long Beach District in California (Elam and Rose, 1996). This study by Elam and Rose (1996) report that assault and battery cases in grades K - 8 dropped 34% in two years, physical fights dropped 51%, and suspensions dropped 32%. Behling (1994) states that it is evident that school uniforms, or a uniform style of dress positively influence the perception of school - related behavior by both peers and teachers.
Clothing influences the way students see themselves (Caruso, 1996). Student benefits include enhanced self-image, improved academic indicator ratings, and increased participation (Hoffler--Riddick and Lassiter, 1996). A study by Hoffler--Riddick and Lassiter (1996) shows school benefits which include a dramatic decrease in discipline infractions, improved attendance, and an improvement in the overall instructional climate.

This is ONE study, you have ALREADY posted it, it contains NO AUTHOR, NO PUBLICATION, NO REFERENCE TO THE PRIMARY SOURCE.
Edit: In fact this is NOT even a study, this is the summary of some kid's research paper!
We can't even evaluate the veracity of the "study" you have posted.
Where are the OTHER studies?
Why have you STILL not answered my question?
HOW DOES THE WAY A CHILD DRESSES AT ANOTHER SCHOOL AFFECT THE QUALITY OF YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION?

Look at the STUDIES above. Student performance effects all of society. That's why societies place so much emphasis on education.
Why wouldn't it effect my children?
Uhmmm. There are a lot of things that are not tolerated in public or in public institutions.
That's why people are in jails.
As I've pointed out already, the studies out there all contradict each other. Look, I can post things that are completely contrary to your position!
There are plenty more where that came from. Just because you agree with the studies supporting uniforms doesn't make them the "correct" conclusions.
There is no study! A couple of MLA references in your child's sophomore year research paper are useless. A couple of author's names and a title of book are not verifiable.
Perhaps you should take a research methods class at your local community college so you can learn just what a study is and how it is properly carried out.
You can't be serious. Kids in ANOTHER school system have ZERO impact on YOUR children's education. If the kids in the public school were all getting 4.0 GPAs and 1600 SATs, YOUR CHILD would STILL be doing THE SAME in his/her OTHER SCHOOL.
Answer the question or admit that you have no argument.
I made my argument and I'll let it stand as is.
It's your right to agree or disagree.
Have a good day.
I've learned not to do that by reading your posts in this thread.
Oh wait, I can't learn; I'm not in uniform.
