THANKS, BILL:
Uniform policies fit well for high schools (Tarron Lively, April 22, 2006, THE WASHINGTON TIMES)
Four high schools in Prince George's County have reported improved honor rolls, student behavior and attendance since instituting school uniform policies in August.
The four schools -- Charles Herbert Flowers, Suitland, Northwestern, and Forrestville Military Academy -- joined more than 100 elementary and middle schools in the county that already had uniform policies in place. [...]
"The uniforms do away with fashion stereotypes and create an even playing field for students to concentrate on academics," said Suitland Principal Mark Fossett.

If they took the next step and segregated middle schools and high schools/classrooms by gender we'd really be getting somewhere.
