  22. School uniform in the USA

  23. Arguments about uniforms

  24. During the 1990s state schools in the USA began to adopt uniforms. Later, claims that introducing uniform leads to better discipline and educational results encouraged other school districts and schools to make a change. Both Clinton and Bush administrations have been in favour of school uniforms.

  25. Boys typically wear a collared shirt, tie, and slacks of required colors.

  26. Both sexes usually wear a sweater or blazer (or both) when required by regulations or weather. Some schools have unisex uniforms— most often a distinctive shirt, and sometimes pants of a given color.

  27. The girls' uniform has become an iconic figure in Western culture. The hit 1998 music video for Britney Spears' first single, "...Baby One More Time" featured Spears and a number of backup dancers wearing a modified version of the Catholic school uniform.
