[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think these posters have kids who are about 17 or 18 now. Few kids change and they don’t have to buy any particular uniform or clothing. There’s no more color coded by grade level. So it’s all equitable and no one has to change in front of anyone.

As for the PE exercise, they do a wide variety of sports and they do their health and FLE in PE. I know high school usually has one quarter for FLE/Health and the rest for exercise  because they move to a classroom for health/FLE but I don’t remember if it’s the same in middle or if it’s changed. You know your kid’s schedule best and if more exercise would be appropriate. I think most kids do get some other exercise outside of PE.[/quote]

I’m the first poster who mentioned having to change and my experience is based off having a rising 8th grader at Irving Middle School and a rising 10th grader.  When the high schooler was still at Irving, she brought workout clothes to wear, as she was told she didn’t have to buy the uniform as long as she changed her clothes.

Last year, I didn’t buy the uniform for my then-7th grader based on my older child’s experience but he came home saying that certain PE teachers were insisting they wear the uniform even though the principal said just a change of clothes was required, so we bought it just to keep the teachers off his back.

I believe it was $10 or so for shorts and shirt or maybe $15 total?
