[quote=Anonymous][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]

I wouldn't assume that they say she dresses weird and her clothes and shoes are ugly because you dress her nicer than the other kids.  Maybe compared to the other kids, she does dress different, but different isn't necessarily nicer.[/quote]
