cuts down on problems at school.
I run security at a high school that is 2miles from the border of Mexico and had a lock down because a group of people that got caught crossing the border,got away from custody or something like that and ended up 1ft from school grounds. With all the border violence and killings, we have to be careful. The kids in this area high school use uniform shirts, they are more toward a athletic wear but all the same, sometimes kids get camoflouged with them. I had gang members before the uniforms kicked in. Now, i see it all toned down. Once in a while somebody comes along with baggy pants and you see the underwear, I tell them that I already saw the checkered table cloth in the morning and don't need to be remined about it. But it made a big difference here. We have students that live in Mexico, and come here to a school called Valley View in Pharr Tx. But the 2 borders are only within a 5 minute drive to our school. But the uniforms takes that edge away, they do not feel tough with it on.
