If I had had a daughter she would have gone to an all girls school with uniforms.

If you need to express your creativity -- take an art class.

Although I was quite the fashion plate in high school we were not even allowed to wear slacks.

Uniforms take away distractions such as gang colors, economic status, and indecent exposure.

Girls do as well or better than boys in math and science until puberty -- when those hormones kick in and becomes "uncool" for females to be smart. (Every time I see a commercial where glasses and slicked back or short hair stands for smart I want to scream. Think "My Big Fat Greek Wedding!") When girls attend single sex schools they answer questions in class more, participate better, take more leadership roles and are called on more by teachers.

(My niece has always ben grateful she didn't come to live with me until she was in college!)
