School Uniforms

The issue of whether to use student uniforms in public schools is a touchy one. Among the questions posed when it comes to school uniforms are the following:

· Do the clothes make the student?
· Who should decide student dress codes?
· How would a school uniform policy be implemented?
· Are uniforms right for every school?
· Are uniforms coming to your school?

The Cherry Hill Elementary Experiment:

In 1987, Cherry Hill Elementary, a public school in Baltimore, MD participated in a voluntary school uniform policy. It’s 360 students participated in an effort to cut clothing costs and to ease the social pressure in lower income families.

Nine years later, the uniforms are still a policy at Cherry Hill. The success is undeniable according to Principal Smallwood, “Students are very proud of themselves in uniforms,” she says. She comments that girls in jumpers and blouses and boys in trousers, shirts and ties have better attitudes about school.

Still, as the nation watched Cherry Hill, not all were convinced that the uniform policy would be right for their communities. A survey across the nation found that parents and school officials remain evenly divided on the issue.

Everyone agrees that the decision must be a local one, involving parents and community as a whole, and that the implementation of school uniforms should not come from administration.

Some communities hope to see a decrease in gang activities through the implementation of school uniforms. Other communities do not want a school uniform policy but agree that a strong dress code is important.
