[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's called grade school. [b]It mostly stops in middle school,[/b] except for spirit week or college focus week (e.g, wear your favorite college Tshirt, sweatshirt, etc.). My kids are in HS, but I remember going to Michael's and stocking up on a bunch of artificial flowers, holiday themed stuff on clearance (buying for next time), and odds and ends. I kept it all in a bad in the closet. Also, I always kept a few spare shoe boxes on hand. As soon as I recycled all the shoe boxes, my kids each needed one for class. Every. Time. So keep a few handy. I never made my kids do spirit week, crazy hair day, crazy hat day, two different shoes day, etc. unless they were into it. I always followed their lead.[/quote] Not at my kids' high school. I hate it. "80's day"--where are my kids supposed to get 80's clothes? I certainly don't still have my clothes from the 80s, and I don't have time or money to go to fifty thrift stores hunting for stuff.[/quote]
