[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SJC reminded me alot of my own 1980s high school experience. Social hierarchy based on extracurricular affiliations (cool jocks by team, nerds, losers, etc). It also reinforces traditional gender stereotypes - girls forced to wear short skirts - not allowed leggings even when its freezing out. You know your kid well enough to know where she will fit in.[/quote] What do you mean that girls are forced to wear short skirts? There aren't any other uniform options?[/quote] I was wondering that, too. Seems like the PP may be thinking of a different school. Girls can choose pants or a skirt, can wear leggings, and are supposed to keep their skirts fingertip length - but that rule is honored mostly in the breach by rolling or even hemming skirts. And kids and families choose the school knowing there are uniform requirements for all the kids. [/quote]
