I have a book "Boys' Preparatory Schools: A Photographic Essay" which shows that short pants and knee socks were still very common in the 1980s. I'm less sure about today, but suspect they are still worn at many prep schools.
BUT having just returned from South Africa there are still boys' schools there that insist or allow boys to wear shorts up to school leaving age. There is a boys' school at Stellanbosch where most junior boys and about 60% of the senior boys wear shorts. Maroon blazers, grey shorts, knee socks and black shoes, with white shirts and tie. Very smart, healthy and practical!

What problems does having a school uniform cause?
School uniforms have not been know to cause many problems if any at all. The only real confirmed issue is that students will chronically complain that uniforms hinder them from expressing themselves. Personally, I go to a uniformed school and I believe there are many other ways of expressing yourself. Not to mention when some say express themselves they mean wear shoulder and spaghetti strap tops, and short shorts, which are not appropriate for school.

Army - traning Army - supplies Navy - size and strength Supply Lines- distance from home morale - reason and will to fight Leadership The British were better trained in their army & its leaders. Years of training. They had great uniforms. The uniforms did make it easy to spot them. haha! British had more money for supplies. British had ships to garner supplies. The British paid their military. The Americans adapted their tactics to fit conditions. The British marched in line making it easy from behind trees to pick them off. The British never adapted to change in fighting. The Americans fought for freedom & had a cause. Short of supplies the Americans learned to use of materials. Americans blocked British ships from docking. American leadership like General Washington inspired troops. On paper, the British should have won but Americans have proved themself to be resourceful.

How will a school improve if students are made to wear uniforms?
Some schools have problems with dress codes and equalness of peoples clothing. So uniforms are like equalizers for the people whose clothes are old, or don't fit compared to peoples clothes that are brand new. Also some people might wear shorts to short, or shirts to low so uniformed clothing would prevent that.
