From the Paper:

"There have been many proposed solutions to the problems in American Education in recent years, and one option that has been considered and implemented by many schools is the adoption of school uniform policies, especially since Bill Clinton's 1996 and 1997 State of the Union Addresses urging their use. This solution has not been accepted by many people, parents, teachers and students, and there have been great debates over whether or not to have uniforms and whether or not they will solve any of the problems facing American schools, such as drugs, violence, inattention, high dropout rates, poor discipline, and others ("Manual on School Uniforms," 1996). This paper seeks to examine whether or not school uniforms have any impact on the education system and if so, if it is a positive one, helping to resolve any of the school's problems."
