[quote=Anonymous]We just moved from the burbs to DC and my oldest daughter is in 2nd grade in a DCPS in an up-and-coming area. They wear uniform Mon.-Thurs., and on Fridays they can wear their regular clothes. She came home the other day asking me for advice about what to do if a class mate keeps saying: "You dress weird. You act weird. Your shoes and clothes are ugly". She was hurt! My daughter is a very sweet, mature, and and well-behaved girl. She cares about others and does not seek conflicts, so it was hard for her to know what to say. We are not wealthy in any way, I do not over-dress my daughter. Preferably, I shop on sale! There is a socio-economic difference that is more visible in DC than we experienced in VA. I tried to explain this to her, that not everyone can afford the same, so most likely this was just a mean comment from someone who was jealous. Has anyone experienced something like this?[/quote]
