Examining the "claims that uniforms correlate negatively with academic achievement," published in a prior study, Bodine reexamines the prior study's statistical approach and resolves to the contrary that in most instances, the correlation between the two was actually a positive one. Bodine finds a much stronger support to the claim that there is no actual connection between the imposition of uniforms and the academic achievement thereby produced. As the Bodine study tells, "examination of structure of argument reveals that the erroneous claim results from misleading use of sector analysis. Simultaneous with the JER article, and on the basis of the same National Education Longitudinal Study: 1988 database, an Educational Testing Service article reported that no correlation exists between uniforms and achievement." (Bodine et al., 67) the balanced method of investigation strengthens the likely veracity of this finding.

The so-called 'climate' of the school will impact student experience, learning desire and the degree to which comfort and productivity are fostered. Murray leads with a point that echoes that expressed in the study by Bodine, indicating that many educators and schools have made policy decisions based on scarce and unreliable research.
