Do grades increase once students are required to wear school uniforms?

Answer 1

Not sure if there have been research regarding this issue.

One reason of the uniform is to make everybody the same.

In a good class, that can be of help because the "flock" tends to help out more and also the "flock" work harder to make achievements.

Equally so in a bad class, if some make trouble, the entire "flock" makes trouble.

In schools where there are no required school uniforms, classes can be divided in a trouble group and a working group. The trouble group slows down the working group.

If trying to make sense out of this then try to follow.

I would claim that uniforms helps raising the grades for everybody if you end up in a good class where there is order.

In other words, More students with higher grades than they otherwise would have got.

In a bad uniformed class without that order, the grades go down for everybody and lower grades for pupils that would otherwise get better ones.

In a non uniformed school there would be fewer with exceptionally high grades and fewer with equally bad grades, but more in the middle aspect.

This probably because they tend to socialize more.

Uniforms prepares you for doing what you are told

not uniforms broadens ones ability for solving problems on a wider spectrum. Probably better for preparing ppl for the real life when school is over.

My own personal views though, and a lot off the actual question.
