Summary/Direct Quote
“attendance is up, suspensions are down, children are more focused on schoolwork, and test scores are going up. Students are very proud of themselves in uniforms…they know that they are coming to work” (Millon 2004) “Uniforms are also claimed to help erase cultural and economic differences among students, set a tone for serious study, facilitate school pride, and improve attendance” (Isaacson, 2004, para. 5) California's Long Beach Unified School District's records are probably cited most often. This urban district adopted a mandatory uniform policy in 1994. Since then, school crime has dropped by 76 percent, while attendance has reached an all-time high.
