Anticipated effects of school uniforms include the end of rivalry among students in expensive dress and jewelry

And therein lies the fly embedded in a ball of wax. Without a mandate by the chief school authority, approved by his board of education, violations of the uniform requirement would be a source of continuous disruption. Even with a mandate, there are many parents who would object to the expense of school uniforms. And there are children and high school youths so accustomed to doing it their way that they would defy a dress code.
Nevertheless, thee are a few schools--the newly created all-girls school in Harlem; Intermediate School 59, Manhattan; Azalea Elementary, Pinellas County, Fla.; the Long Beach, Calif., public school system--that have mandated uniforms. These uniforms are not elaborate--for example, light-blue shirts and dark-blue pants or skirts.
Anticipated effects of school uniforms include the end of rivalry among students in expensive dress and jewelry, elimination of gang insignia in schools, end of sex-messages on T-shirts.
Any public school that seeks to follow the example of parochial schools where uniforms are a tradition should do so. Prior involvement of parents is a minimum. Assurance of maximum cooperation must be obtained before announcing a school uniform policy. Uniforms would be a step in the direction of restoring school discipline, but they are not a panacea.

For those willing to take the chance, the motto should be "Tinker be damned! Full speed ahead!" yanzic0705.
