Download or read book Uniforms in Public Schools written by David L. Brunsma and published by R & L Education. This book was released on 2006 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to some of the nation's most prominent newspapers, politicians and educational administrators, and the evening news, there is absolutely nothing simplistic and straightforward about the current movement to uniform public school students in the United States. The debate over whether to require uniforms is highly controversial, undeniably complex, and, from the analyses and arguments presented in this book, unquestionably rooted in multifaceted social, political, legal, cultural, racial material, and educational structures. Much of the empirical research on school uniform policies' effectiveness has remained in dissertation and/or policy brief formats. This book provides an antidote to the ungrounded, anecdotal components that define the contemporary conversation regarding policies of standardized dress in American K-12 districts and schools. The contributors draw upon years of educational teaching and administrative experience, as well as research directed at objectively and empirically understanding the issue of school uniform policies elementary and middle schools. Uniforms in Public Schools is of the utmost importance for those who wish to be informed and insightful participants in the contemporary debate on school uniform policies.

Book Synopsis The Challenges of Mandating School Uniforms in the Public Schools by : Todd A. DeMitchell
Download or read book The Challenges of Mandating School Uniforms in the Public Schools written by Todd A. DeMitchell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School uniform polices, often associated with private schools, are increasingly being adopted in public schools; but not without controversy. The often asserted reasons for mandating uniforms include improved student behavior, better attendance, less competition over clothing, and improved student learning because students would not be distracted by who was wearing what and could focus on their studies. Wishful thinking or empirically tested hypotheses? However, opponents assert that a mandated uniform seeks to homogenize the students, violates their free speech rights, and does not solve the problems the policy is intended to remedy. The Challenges of Mandating School Uniforms in the Public Schools: Free Speech, Research, and Policy explores the policy rationale, the constitutional rights of students, and the research on the impact of school uniforms. Educators, parents, and policymakers will find this book and its companion, Student Dress Codes and the First Amendment: Legal Challenges and Policy Issues, a must read when considering student attire issues.
Book Synopsis School Uniforms by : David L. Brunsma
Download or read book School Uniforms written by David L. Brunsma and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate surrounding the effectiveness of school-uniform policies, as well as discussions concerning when and how to implement them, is rooted in anecdote. This review summarizes anecdotal literature on which the current debate is based and critically reviews the empirical literature, including theoretical underpinnings, findings, and suggestions. The anecdote-based literature relies on attitudes, personal experience, and hearsay, ignoring available research. Empirical literature includes small-scale studies of effects, such as case studies of schools that implemented mandatory school-uniform policies, and large-scale studies that compare nationally representative samples of students enrolled in schools implementing uniform policies with students enrolled in schools not implementing such policies on a variety of outcomes. Many methods used are flawed because different factors are not accounted for, such as design of uniform policies in different schools studies, and racial and socioeconomic status. Still, results of qualitative studies lay the groundwork for creating theories on uniform policy effectiveness and defining related issues requiring further research. These results will direct policymakers away from conjecture, emotion, anecdotes, and assumptions. One suggestion is that a uniform policy be part of a larger comprehensive plan that focuses on students' academic success. (Contains 31 endnotes, 14 references, and 18 resource Web sites.) (RT)
Book Synopsis The Impact of School Uniforms on Student Academic Achievement and Behavior by : Aimee L. Reyzer
Download or read book The Impact of School Uniforms on Student Academic Achievement and Behavior written by Aimee L. Reyzer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocates for the implementation of uniforms in public schools believe that uniforms could be the answer in establishing a positive school climate. Arguments about whether or not school uniforms have an impact on improving the school environment, academic performance, and overall behavior have been going on for quite some time. However, with the increase of school violence, inappropriate behavior, and a decline in academic achievement advocates for school uniforms are hoping that uniforms in public schools may reduce these issues.
Book Synopsis The Relationship of School Uniforms to Student Attendance, Achievement, and Discipline by : Russell Edward Sowell
Download or read book The Relationship of School Uniforms to Student Attendance, Achievement, and Discipline written by Russell Edward Sowell and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This causal-comparative study examined the relationship of school uniforms to attendance, academic achievement, and discipline referral rates, using data collected from two high schools in rural southwest Georgia county school systems, one with a uniforms program and one without a uniforms program. After accounting for race and students with disabilities status, School A (with uniforms) had significantly better attendance and somewhat fewer minor behavior infractions, but trended lower in standardized math scores and more intermediate and major behavioral infractions than School B (without uniforms). These findings failed to demonstrate an unambiguous advantage of school uniforms, consistent with the mixed results across reports in the published literature. Implications and suggestions for further research are detailed.
Book Synopsis Dressed for success? : the effect of school uniforms on student achievement and behavior by : Elisabetta Gentile
Download or read book Dressed for success? : the effect of school uniforms on student achievement and behavior written by Elisabetta Gentile and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uniform use in public schools is rising, but we know little about how they affect students. Using a unique dataset from a large urban school district in the southwest United States, we assess how uniforms affect behavior, achievement and other outcomes. Each school in the district determines adoption independently, providing variation over schools and time. By including student and school fixed-effects we find evidence that uniform adoption improves attendance in secondary grades, while in elementary schools they generate large increases in teacher retention.
Download or read book Taming Childhood? written by Rob Creasy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the links between recent reports of increasing levels of unhappiness and mental health problems amongst children and young people, and changes within childhood which restrict and reduce opportunities for children to develop and maintain resilience. Although in academic terms children may be viewed as beings, Creasy and Corby posit that there is much to suggest that for parents, practitioners and policy-makers, children are primarily seen as becomings. The book argues that viewing children as becomings, together with the idea that childhood is fraught with danger, contributes to practices and policies which can be seen as making childhood tame. This taming of childhood leads to an impoverished childhood that does not provide the space that children need to grow and develop. Furthermore, Taming Childhood? challenges the idea that young adults are 'snowflakes', unable to cope with everyday pressures. Students and scholars across a range of social science disciplines will find this book of interest.

Book Synopsis The Effect of School Uniforms on Academic Performance and Behavioral Offenses by : Kelly Dawn DeLong

This book was released on 1998 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: 'The objective of this study is to determine if academic performance and behavioral offenses are affected by wearing school uniforms in public elementary schools. To determine if the wearing of uniforms affects academic performance and behavioral offenses, permission from two elementary schools, in a large Midwestern city, was obtained to examine students' records. The records examined included fourth grade proficiency tests, and behavioral offenses. Behavioral records consisted of a number of offenses including absenteeism and tardiness. One elementary school required uniforms. The other elementary school did not. The records from years 1993- 1994 through 1996- 1997 for each school were compared. In the study, the presence or absence of uniforms was the independent variable and academic performance, as measured by, proficiency tests, and behavioral offenses were dependent variables. Data were obtained from the city school board data management center. Means and standard deviations were computed. Analysis of variance was used to determine if means differed significantly for scores between the two schools. Chi square test of independence was used to determine if the difference in frequency of behavioral offenses in the two schools was a chance occurrence. A Point Biserial Correlation Coefficient was computed to determine if there was a relationship between wearing uniforms and academic performance. A final ANOVA was computed to determine if the increase in test scores over time, from the school with uniforms, was significant. Throughout the study, significance levels of less than or equal to .05 were used. There was no contact with the students themselves. Results of the analysis of variance revealed that in the year prior to either school adopting uniforms, 1993-1994, there were no significant differences in test scores; neither was there a significant difference in test scores in 1996-1997. However, there was a significant difference in Reading, Mathematics, and Citizenship tests between the school with the uniforms and the school without the uniforms for the school years 1994-1995 and 1995-1996. Results of the Chi Square test of independence, to determine the pattern of behavior between the two schools, revealed that from 1993- 1994 through 1996- 1997, the school without the uniforms had more occurrences of disruptions of class, repeated violations of school rules, and gross insubordination than the school with the uniforms. However, the school with the uniforms had more occurrences of fighting than the school without the uniforms. For three out of the four years, the school without uniforms had a higher frequency of absenteeism and tardiness than the school with uniforms. A Point Biserial Correlation Coefficient was calculated to determine if there was a relationship between the wearing of uniforms and academic performance. Results indicated that there was a significant, but low negative correlation between wearing uniforms and test scores for the Reading, Mathematics and Citizenship tests. From the years 1994- 1 995 through 1 996- 1 997, the mean scores on two of the five tests increased in the school with uniforms, while the mean scores for students in the school without uniforms decreased consistently on all tests from 1994-1995 through 1996-1 997. Because there was an increase in scores for some tests in the school with uniforms, an ANOVA was calculated to determine if the increase in proficiency scores over time was significant. Results of the test indicate that the increase in proficiency scores for the Citizenship and Science tests were significant.

Book Synopsis School Uniforms in Public Schools by : Karen Lacroix
Download or read book School Uniforms in Public Schools written by Karen Lacroix and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With all the recent violence in schools more and more administrators are looking to adopt and implement a uniform policy. School boards and administrators are under the assumption that when students wear a uniform there are fewer behavior problems, a more positive climate, and even improved academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to look at the history of the school uniform as well as the results from some case studies in which a uniform policy was implemented and the changes if any it brought about. In addition, this study includes data from the Chester Academy, a pre K-8 rural school. Survey results from parents, teachers, and middle level students showed predictable results with teachers having the strongest support for school uniforms and students having the least. The findings suggest a slight improvement in overall behavior and academic investment but further research is needed to substantiate this conclusion.
Book Synopsis The Influence of Conflict Resolution Programs on Student Conduct Violations in Middle Schools with School Uniform Policy by : Edward C. Breitenbach
Download or read book The Influence of Conflict Resolution Programs on Student Conduct Violations in Middle Schools with School Uniform Policy written by Edward C. Breitenbach and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School safety is a very important issue for school staff, parents, and students. When school safety is lacking, students suffer in emotional, academic, and social areas. One recent intervention middle schools are examining is the student uniform policy. In some cases, school uniforms have been shown to have a profound effect on school safety, attendance levels, and student achievement. Other studies, however, have found conflicting results in terms of the real effects of a school uniform policy. Many of the research studies that attempt to investigate school uniform policies suggest that there are other variables involved besides the school uniform policy. This research study examined the influence of a conflict resolution component and its impact on student conduct in public middle schools that had a school uniform policy as compared to public middle schools that had a school uniform policy and no conflict resolution component. Findings in this study suggested that there was no statistically significant difference between the two populations.
