This is exact type of content I come to HN to avoid.
- smcin 3y agoOk, but it still seems to be on-topic for HN [0], in a broader sense of evolving societal norms/ enforcement/ freedom-of-speech, comparing the US to other countries which don't have school uniforms (and rarely have dress codes) but have higher educational achievement (e.g. Germany) etc. How about a counter-study which compares how many pages schools spend on rules on academic behavior vs non-academic stuff like dress codes, vs. education outcome, PPP-adjusted? I'd like to see the scatterplot showing all countries on those axes. Btw, there are multiple reasons for school dress codes, and it's by no means all about sex, or even discipline: some of them are about minimizing socioeconomic competing for status.
