[quote=Anonymous]We have done both uniforms and non uniforms. A lot of the lower income families actually had a harder time starting at a school with uniforms. As they are items you generally get 2nd hand, on clearance etc. And many dcps have different colors so if you changed school tmyou have to buy a whole new set of uniforms. Where as with "street clothes" or no uniform schools you could just wear what you already have. I liked uniforms at our old school. But my "snowflake" or whatever you want to call a child with different leanring does have sensory differences and it was challenging to find comfortable clothes that fit the uniform rules at a good price. Now at a non-uniform school selection of comfortable clothes is easier to find and we can make use of 'hand me downs'. Though we do need some planning in order to make mornings go more smoothly. Also, I am a black mom, middle income so not sure any sweeping generalized statements can be made on the topic. [/quote]
