  1. Well, to be honest I don't. In fact I don't like the idea of school uniforms at all. It gives the feeling that all students are the same and none of them are unique. Which is just wrong, because especially during that time they are supposed to discover what makes them special and what they will do with their live.

  2. Student attendance and improvements in academic performance improved after the adoption of uniforms in Kenya.

    Also, crimes were reduced after the adoption of uniform policies in one CA school district (see http://www.educationbug.org/a/public-school-uniform-statistics.html).

     

    A case study of the effects of adopting school uniforms in Long Beach, CA which appeared in Psychology Today in September, 1999, reported the following effects from the switch to uniforms in 1995:

     

    Overall, the crime rate dropped by 91%

    School suspensions dropped by 90%

    Sex offenses were reduced by 96%

    Incidents of vandalism went down 69%

    I don't really care about studies when all they say is that A has dropped/risen by B percent. I want to know WHY.

  3. I kinda wonder about that. the timer goes up at a fixed rate, which I find it hard to believe that people are visiting the website in sync. :P

    I think so many people are visiting the site that the counter just can't keep up. It seems to display the little tick animation no matter what and go +1 view all the time. So while it says 50000000views it may already be 50000010views, the counter just hasn't had time to count to there yet.

  4. I Remember reading this on Wikipedia, I did not remember the name of the book and now I do.

     

    Anyways, I am quite happy to see that this forum has a nice attitude, while I am used to anti-bronism (My Brother enjoys trolling me with various things about it) I am just glad to feel welcome here, you guys seem like a nice bunch, and Ponies.

    I am a brony myself and am tolerant with any brony/non brony as long as they respect others opinion(I don't like it when bronism/anti bronism gets forced upon people).
