Also...Baltimore City does have a uniform policy...at least I think they do at the elementary school level. It's more difficult with older kids...development dictates that around age 10-12, kids begin trying to figure out where they fit outside of the family unit. Clothing is a huge part of that. And most of the time kids will find a way to stand-out or identify as individuals regardless of uniforms. In fact I wonder if uniforms sort of "up the ante" in terms of of acting out. ida know...just sayin ! Studies have shown…well, anything you want them to show really.

In Arizona, many of the public school districts have had a uniform policy for the last several years. It is mainly elementary and some middle schools that have uniforms (generally blue or khaki pants/shorts/skirts and white or blue shirts). Studies have shown the level of incidents, particularly violent incidents, have gone down in schools following a uniform policy. Definitely something I would encourage the city to look at. Additionally, many stores have sales on the uniform style clothes so it's not sommething that will hit the pocketbook of the parents.
