This one should be simple, although it probably won't be. The School Board has directed Superintendent John Fryer to research whether the school system's uniform policy should be mandatory. Let me save him some trouble. The answer is yes.
Some parents do that.
Others don't even bother. And, as it turns out, there's not much punishment for those who don't follow the rules. As we learned last year, the result is that as the school year progresses, fewer and fewer students come to school dressed properly. That's an appropriate description. It's believed that requiring students to wear uniforms promotes discipline.
