Select the correct answer. A student read this excerpt from an argument against school uniforms and agrees with the author. Which statement below
would help the student defend this argument?
excerpt from The Debate over School Uniforms
Supporters of school uniforms assert that when students wear
uniforms, their attendance Improves. They claim that students
who wear uniforms have more school spirit, which encourages
students to attend school more often. In Irving, Texas, schools
have been able to improve average daily attendance through a
strict uniform policy. Though students do not wear official
uniforms, they wear white shirts, khaki pants, and leather shoes
that must meet certain uniform requirements. However, in
nearby Euless, Texas, no uniforms are required, and yet
students have higher average daily attendance rates than at the
charter school in Irving. This fact seems to demonstrate that
higher attendance rates have little to do with uniforms. A
school in Polk County, Florida, has the most restrictive uniform
policy in the nation. It was enacted in 1999, and since then, the
school has found that its average daily attendance has fallen
dramatically. In 2000, the school broke a national scholastic
absentee record for the same school year. These results show
that uniforms have no effect on attendance. In fact, they
provide evidence to the contrary: strict uniform policies have a
negative effect on attendance.
