It's interesting that people say that dress codes don't really matter, because in Ontario, Catholic school students tend to do better than their public school counterparts. Catholic schools, at least the high schools, have uniforms while public schools don't.
Note: The majority of Catholic schools in Ontario receive full government funding and are run just like public schools.

This is actually location dependant. Where I grew up, public schools do much better. Where is your source on the "overall" stat? I grew up hearing about how Catholic school sucked academically, so I'm a skeptic.
The decision to move to uniforms is open to any Ontario school council. It's just that Catholic highschools have been the first to do it.
AND on that note... all the boys in the Catholic system wear their uniform "hip hop style" anyways. There is no rule saying that the uniform has to fit. <- at least in Waterloo and anywhere else I've been.
