ident. When I talk to old friends from the public school, they are amazed at how much I have changed . I don't credit all of this to uniforms, but they sure allowed a side of me to be seen that most of the students at the public school never bothered to look for. Can uniforms make a difference? If they save one life or allow one child to be fit in, they can. No one claims that uniforms are the fix all for the public school system, but they are a start. Uniforms will give all students a chance to fit in regardless of their social standing. They will also take the student's focus off of having the right clothes and put it back on having the right attitude.
