O Self:selected clothing acts as a barometer Anecdotal evidence by Pate H2FFF states that! those $ho report success $ith uniform policies claim that they improve academics! reduce truancy and violence! lo$er costs and improve social environment of their schools) 4pponents 'uestion $hether the benefits claimed by some districts are actually the results of uniforms or other factors) /uch of the evidence is anecdotal! based on opinions of educators! administrators! and parents) No long range research has been completed and the research that e;ists is conflicting) ,he National 6ducational (ongitudinal Study by ?runsma and Roc'uemore H2FCC informs that uniforms have no direct effect on substance use! behavioral problems! or attendance) ,here is no positive correlation bet$een uniforms and school safety or academic achievement) Pro school attitudes from students and their peers and good academic preparedness did predict the desired behavior) ,hey sa$ that $earing uniforms did not lead to improvements in pro school attitudes or increased academic preparedness) In addition! tenth grade students $ho $ere re'uired to $ear uniforms actually scored slightly lo$er on standardi.ed tests) %niforms are a very $ea predictor of standardi.ed test scores and that the relationship is much $eaer than has been indicated in the uniform debate) 5o$ever! results from the 6*(S:< and the N6(S 6ducation Policy! 0 H>!
