[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand how it's an extra cost. You'll need to buy clothes for your kid, whether it's a uniform or regular clothes.

When you have school uniforms, you just purchase less regular clothes. Your kids only need regular clothes for two days per week. There is less need for a big closet full of non-uniform clothing.

Exercise some self-control, folks. Having less stuff in your house will also teach your kids a good lesson in materialism. [/quote]

NO YOU DON’T NEED TO PURCHASE BEW CLOTHES ANYWAY. The fact that you post this shows your ignorance and entitlement. I have not purchased new school clothes for my 12 year old since he was born. Period [/quote]

Poor, unfortunate homely kid. Stop being so cheap! I bet you’ve bought yourself new clothes in the past 12 years.[/quote]

Hardly. How unfortunate that you feel the need to fall into consumerism and purchase new clothes every year. Because people like you exist, I get clothes all the time with tags still on them for a fraction of the price as you buy brand new. My kid and I are very well dressed. Thrifting and buying second hand does not equate to being homely. We are also doing our part to save the planet. [/quote]

I have to buy uniform clothes more than once a year to deal with growing kids.  They also have preferences for materials, fit, style within the uniform standard. We wouldn't qualify for free nor would we accept if offered.  Just because we can afford it doesn't mean it's where are resources belong or that we should be coerced to [...wait for it...] CONSUME! more overall clothing to fit school requirements.[/quote]
