• W77363036 abstract "Students walk the school hallways in an orderly fashion, dressed professionally in uniforms consisting of blazers with the school's crest and skirts for girls and trousers for boys. They don't walk with hands in their pockets. Students are polite and wait for the teacher outside the classroom door. When he says to enter, all students enter and stand at their desks until everyone is inside. They don't sit until the teacher invites them to sit. Students prepare for their lesson and are, for the most part, quite content and respectful. Where am I? This description sounds like it might be from a wealthy preparatory school, but instead it's a regular state school in England where school tradition and respect are among the school's goals for children. Two-thirds of the students come from the surrounding low-income area, but these children look like a picture from a wealthy New England prep school. Students have a range of abilities, but they all share one thing in common: respect for the teachers, the school, and themselves. How does a school create this type of culture? I believe part of it is from the presence of school uniforms. I was never an advocate of school uniforms. Having attended a U.S. public school myself, I couldn't imagine wearing a uniform. When I taught in an American public school, I thought uniforms were significant only because they identified anyone who attended a private school. But I began to see the benefit of school uniforms when I taught in a British school a number of years ago and later when my own children attended English schools. To understand the benefits, readers need a short background of British education. Every British school requires that students wear a school uniform. Schools choose their own required uniform, and parents are responsible for providing the uniform. Some schools may offer support or discounted items for needy children. I used to think American schools couldn't do this because schools would be required to pay for the clothing for anyone who couldn't afford it. However, because the school uniform is part of the British culture, U.K. schools do not need to provide students with the clothing. Children have a job, and that job is to attend school. Just as their parents must wear appropriate clothing for work, students must wear appropriate clothing for school. Parents are used to wearing uniforms or appropriate clothing for their own professions, and this culture is passed down to their children. But the catch is that school uniforms in the United Kingdom are not that expensive. NOT A COSTLY ALTERNATIVE In the United States, most private schools that require uniforms choose a plaid or specific item that the students must buy to signal that they belong to that school. This may be costly because these items might be available only at one or two places. In the United Kingdom, schools choose generic items that can be bought anywhere. When every school must follow the rule, more of the items become available at lower costs. In the United Kingdom, most primary schools require boys to wear dark-gray or black trousers and a white polo shirt with a school sweatshirt; they require girls to wear dark-gray pants or skirts with tights and a white polo shirt and school sweatshirt cardigan. This means the school item with the logo is the sweatshirt or cardigan, and all other items can be found in multiple shops in Britain. For example, a family can buy a summer jumper for about $6. Trousers cost about $12. Because of competition, uniform costs go drastically down. Parents can usually buy school-specific items through the school at a reduced cost. At a recent school fair (carnival) at my children's school, used items were about 75 cents per item. When students attend secondary school, they usually require more formal dress. They follow the above guidelines, but a blazer or jacket replaces the school sweatshirt or cardigan. The dress code also specifies black shoes, a black backpack or bag with limited writing, and limited jewelry and makeup. …" @default.
